PRECAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Step 1

Shut down the circuit breaker in your house. Switch ON/OFF the lights to make sure the electricity in your house is properly shut off.

Electricity is dangerous. The power must be cut off before installing the product.

AMERICAN VERSION INSTALLATION STEPS

Step 1 Install the mounting plate to the junction box

Remove the old Floodlight from the junction box and install the mounting plate to the junction box.

The junction box and existing electrical wires are required for FloodlightCamera installation.

The concave side of the mounting plate must face outwards.

Nota:

The junction box and existing electrical wires are required for Floodlight Camera installation.

The concaved side of the mounting plate must face outwards.

Step 2 Connect ground wires.

Connect both ground wires (yellow or green) from the junction box and FloodlightCamera and join the wires by using a wire nut.

Nota:

If the existing ground wire has been connected to the junction box or there’s no ground wire, connect the ground wire of the Floodlight Camera to the junction box or mounting plate directly.

To avoid the risk of shock, injury, or death, always be cautious when working with electricity. Remember, hire a professional electrician if you’re uncomfortable working with electrical wiring.

Step 3 Connect neutral and hot wires.

Use wire nuts to connect Floodlight Camera wires to the rest of the wires from the junction box.

1. Connect the white wire on the Floodlight Camera to the white wire(neutral) from the junction box.

2. Connect the black wire on the Floodlight Camera to the black wire(hot) from the junction box.

To avoid the risk of shock, injury, or death, always be cautious when working with electricity. Remember, do hire a professional electrician if you’re uncomfortable working with electrical wiring.

Step 4 Insert the central screw

1. Insert the central screw through the center of the Floodlight Camera and screw it tightly.

2. Use the central screw cap to cover the central screw to prevent the central screw from thrusting.

EUROPEAN VERSION INSTALLATION STEPS

Step 1 Remove the waterproof plug and thread

1. Remove the waterproof plug in the junction box

2. Find the wire hold and thread

Nota:

If you don’t have existing wires outdoors, contact a licensed electrician to run the wires.

Step 2 Install the junction box

1. Orientate the two mounting holes vertically to ensure stable mounting.

2. On wooden walls, DO NOT pre-drill holes. Use the screws provided to fix the junction box onto the wall.

3. On walls that are made out of hard materials, such as brick or concrete, drill holes with a 15/64 inch (6 mm) drill bit, and then insert the anchors provided into the holes. Use the screws provided to fix the junction box on the wall.

Step 3 Connect electrical wires to the junction box

INSTALLATION ANGLE

After installation is complete, you can turn the camera knobs on Floodlight Camera to adjust the camera to your desired angle.

0-15 degrees is the best angle; the greater the angle, the smaller the PIR detection distance

PRECAUTIONS AFTER INSTALLATION

Switch on the main circuit breaker in the house.

To check whether the Floodlight Camera is operating, check if the LED indicator has turned Red.

If the work indicator of the floodlight camera is not bright, the power has failed. There may be the following reasons:

1. The wires in the junction box are not energized. They are invalid wires.

2. The three wires of the neutral wire, live wire, and ground wire are connected in the wrong sequence.

3. The three wires of neutral wire, live wire, and ground wire are in poor contact with the waterproof terminal.

In case the Floodlight Camera is not powered on, switch off the circuit breaker before checking the wiring of the Floodlight Camera.To avoid the risk of shock, injury, or death, always be cautious when working with electricity.

How do we deal with any problem with the WI-FI connection?

1. Please ensure that you have used 2.4GHz WI-Fl. According to our experience, the reasons for the failure of WI-Fl connection from most users are the wrong Wi-Fi format selection and the wrong use of 5GHz WIFI to add the camera.

2. Make sure you use the correct Wi-Fi password and smooth network speed.

3. Make sure the Wi-Fi signal strength of the position to install the floodlight camera is correct; if the location Wi-Fi signal is not smooth, it is likely to cause the floodlight camera to work improperly. You may consider moving the wireless routers closer to FloodlightCamera or using a Wi-Fi range extender.
