Setting Up Your Floodlight Camera

Before installation, please check the location where you want to install the floodlight. The installation height will influence the motion sensor’s performance and the viewing angle of the camera.

When the motion detector is installed at a distance of 3 meters (9 feet) from the ground, and an angle of 30 degrees to the ground, it can detect human- sized objects at up to 8 meters (26 feet).

Installation Guide

Please note:

• If you are not sure about how to correctly assemble this device, consult with a licensed electrician. The wiring transition shall be strictly in compliance with the local regulations, rules and national electrical codes.
• Do not connect it to a dimmer switch or timer.
• Do not install it near combustible or flammable surfaces.
• Connect it to a power source (AC 110V to 240V).
• Install it in a place where it can be protected from heavy rain, heat, and humidity for long service life.

Step 1: Turn off the power to the floodlight at the fuse box

Please note:

If you don’t know where your breaker is or how to turn off the power of the floodlight circuit, consult with a licensed electrician. For added safety we recommend an AC / DC Voltage Tester (not included) to ensure the power is off at the floodlight circuit.

Step 2: Remove the mounting bracket

1. Undo the screws with a screwdriver by turning counterclockwise.
2. Remove the mounting bracket.

Step 3: Install the waterproof rubber gasket on the mounting bracket
Align the four corners of the gasket with the four corners of the mounting bracket and press these four corners to fix the gasket on the bracket.

Step 4: Mark the mounting location
Use a pen to mark the screw holes after determining the mounting location. We recommend you use a level to make sure alignment to ground is correct.

Step 5: Select a proper place for drilling

1. Drill a hole in the mounting place that does not influence plumbing, electrical cables or other building services.
2. Secure the plastic wall anchors into the hole with a hammer.

Step 6: Fix the mounting bracket on the mounting area

1. Push all the wires through the large opening of the bracket carefully.
2. Tighten the screws to fix the bracket on the mounting area. Pay attention to the horizontal position on the top.

Step 7: Connect the power wire

1. Connect the ground wire coming out of your junction box to the yellow wire (ground) with tag.
2. Use a wire nut (included) to connect the white wire (neutral) to the neutral wire coming out of your junction box.
3. Connect the black wire (hot) to the hot wire coming out of your junction box using another wire nut.

Please note:

If you are not clear about the neutral or hot wires coming out of the junction box, consult with a licensed electrician.

Step 8: Install the floodlight camera onto the bracket

1. Align the mounting posts with the holes on the floodlight camera and press them together.

2. Secure the floodlight by screwing the screws clockwise.

Step 9: Put the waterproof rubber cap on the screw hole

Step 10: Adjust the angle of the floodlight and camera
Loosen or tighten the screw to further adjust the angle of the floodlight and the camera. After adjusting the angle of  the camera and floodlight, put the waterproof rubber cap on the screw hole.

Please note:

Do not remove the floodlight part or the camera part from the ball socket on the base. Failure to do this may result in  product being damaged.

Step 11: Turn on the power to the floodlight at the fuse box
