Part 1. Attach the Camera to the Floodlight

Before installing it onto the wall, you have to first combine the camera and the floodlight correctly.

Step 1. Secure the camera to the floodlight base using a hex key and attach the antennas to the camera. 

Step 2. Plug the base’s cable into the LED port on the camera. Ensure the arrow on the cable faces the LAN port on the camera, then insert the silicone plug into the slot above.

Step 3. Secure the Fixing Bracket to the base using the screws labeled “A” from the Base and Bracket Screws pack.

Part 2. Mount the Camera

Note: Before installation, please check local regulations and ensure compliance with all relevant codes and standards when making wired connections.

Step 4. Shut off power supply at the breaker.

Step 5. Select a mounting method first.

Method 1: Junction Box Installation

Place the H-shaped supporting bracket on the junction box, align the 2 screw holes, and secure it with screws labeled “B”. Then, attach the Base Bracket to the junction box, ensuring the central hole aligns and the arrow on the Base Bracket points upwards. Pull the wires through the Base Bracket and secure it with screws labeled “C”.

Method 2: Wall Installation (Without Junction Box)

Drill holes in the wall using a drill bit (not included), following the template provided. Fasten the U-Bracket to the wall with 2 screws.

Note: For drywall, brick, or concrete installation, please use the included wall anchors.

Step 6. Utilize the built-in snap hook on the camera to hang the camera onto the bracket, and then proceed to connect the wires.

Step 7. Connect the live wire (black) and the neutral wire (white) from the junction box to the corresponding live (black) and neutral (white) wires of the floodlight camera. Cover the wires with wires nut and twist them about five times. Gently tug on the wire nuts to ensure a secure connection.

Notes:

• Please avoid crossover connections. 
• Wire colors vary by region. If you are unsure and cannot distinguish the wires, consult an electrician to ensure safety.
• Cover the Ground wire (usually green/green and yellow) with the wire nut.

Step 8. Insert the silicone plugs into the notches on both sides before snapping the mounting base firmly onto the bracket. Please ensure that the wire nuts are oriented upward for waterproofing and to prevent short circuits. Then use "D" screws or wall screws to secure the bracket by drilling them through the hole at the bottom of the bracket.

Step 9. Turn on the Circuit Breaker.

Part 3. Angle Adjustment

Use a hex key to tighten or loosen the screws to adjust the direction of the floodlight and camera, either before or after mounting. Once you've set the desired angle, make sure to tighten the screws securely.
