Wiring the Camera

If needed, use the provided hook to hang the camera from the mounting bracket. Simply remove the small rubber plug from the bottom of the camera and insert the hook. With the waterproof cushion in place, use the wire nuts to attach the wiring from the junction box to the camera. This typically involves the following:

• Black Wire (Hot)
• White Wire (Neutral)
• Yellow / Green Wire (Ground)

Use the ground screw to fix the ground wire to the metal bracket. IMPORTANT : Depending on your home’s age, these wires may be different colors. If you are unsure, please consult a professional electrician.

Mount your Camera

Place the camera on the mounting bracket and use the camera mount screw to secure it. Once secure, place the silicone cap over the screw to make it watertight.

IMPORTANT : If you used the hook to hang the camera during wiring, please place it back into the bottom of the camera at this time.

Restore Power to the Breaker

With the camera wired and mounted, you can now restore power at the breaker.

Add your Camera
