it, and set the camera aside for now.

face downwards. Mounting Styles: Ceiling
If mounting to a horizontal surface, face the port in the direction you want
the camera to see.
Ensure that the electrical box you use is
weatherproof, including threaded plugs. Use sealant if necessary.
Installation Height and Motion Detection
Shut power off at the breaker.
If you don’t know where your breaker is or how to turn off power to your
electrical box, consult with a licensed electrician.
Remove your existing light or camera. (if applicable)
With power off at the breaker, remove your existing floodlight or camera from
the electrical box and disconnect the wires. If there is a bracket attached to
your electrical box, remove that as well.
Hang the box cover. Inspect the box to make sure water can’t get in. Then use the included hanging hook to hold the weatherproof box cover in place as you wire it in.
Connect the power wires.
Connect the black and white wires on the wiring harness to the black (hot) and
white (neutral) wires coming out of your electrical box.
- Use the included wire nuts to secure and protect the connections.
- The red wire is optional, and should only be connected if you wish to control other lights with your Spotlight Cam.
If you don’t have clearly colored black and white wires coming out of your electrical box, consult with a licensed electrician.
Auxiliary Light Control
Your Spotlight Cam has an advanced motion detection system. If you’d like
other lights (such as floodlights) to be triggered by the motion detector in
your Spotlight Cam, wire them according to this diagram.
Your connected lights also turn on when you manually enable your Spotlight Cam
lights in the Ring app.
Screw in the box cover.
Use the included screws to secure the box cover to the electrical box. Be sure
to add a metal washer, then a rubber washer to each screw before inserting.
Add the Security Screw.
Insert and tighten the security screw to lock your Spotlight Cam into the box
cover.
- Some round boxes may only take two screws. Seal unused holes in the cover with the included screws and nuts. Add a metal washer backed by a rubber washer to each side before tightening the nut.
Mount your Spotlight Cam.
Insert your Spotlight Cam into the box cover. Once it’s fully seated, turn to
the right to lock it in.
Turn on power at the breaker.
- Once your Spotlight Cam is installed, it’s time to turn power back on at the breaker.

White light flashing?
If the light on the bottom of your Spotlight Cam flashes or stays illuminated
after setup, this means it’s updating its internal software.

is complete.
Adjust the camera angle
To ensure accurate motion detection, position your Spotlight Cam so the border
of the motion detector is parallel with the ground.
Tighten the side screw to secure the camera position.
