PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION 

(IMPORTANT)

Check local laws for installation
If you are outside of North America, installation and wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician. Always follow code standards when installing wired connections. 

Shut Power Off at the Breaker

Risk of Electrical Shock

• Turn off the power at your circuit breaker or fuse box before continuing, consult with a licensed electrician if needed.
• Switch on/off the lights to make sure the electricity to the installation area is shut off.
• Verify that the power supply is a 100~240 VAC 50/60 Hz power source.
• Keep the breaker off at any time during the installation process.

NOTE: Do not use a dimmer switch or timer for this product.

INSTALLING YOUR FLOODLIGHT CAMERA

Separate the Mounting Bracket
Separate the mounting bracket from the camera and set it aside for later installation.

Select a Location 
You can mount the floodlight camera vertically on a wall or hang it from a ceiling. With the power off at the breaker, remove the existing floodlight if you have one.

 For overhang mounting, reinstall the mounting base first.

Recommended Height
We recommend mounting the camera 8 ft (2.44 m) above the ground to achieve up to 40 ft (12 m) of motion detection range. 

ADJUSTING THE LIGHTING ANGLE

Manually pull up and down or left and right to adjust the floodlight vertically or horizontally.

RESTORING POWER

1. Switch on the main circuit breaker in the house.

   

   In case the floodlight camera is not powered on, switch off the circuit breaker before checking the wiring of the floodlight camera.

2. Now you can access various features and change settings in the eufy Security app.
