The Eufy Floodlight Cam 2 Pro is an advanced security device designed to provide comprehensive outdoor surveillance. Proper installation is key to maximizing its coverage, especially when placed in corner locations. This guide offers step-by-step instructions for optimal placement.
Understanding the Benefits of Corner Placement
Positioning your Floodlight Cam 2 Pro in a corner offers several advantages:
- Wider Field of View: Corner mounting allows the camera to cover two directions simultaneously, reducing blind spots.
- Enhanced Security: Covering more area increases deterrence and detection of intruders.
- Optimal Lighting: The floodlights can illuminate a larger area, improving night visibility.
Preparing for Installation
Before mounting, gather necessary tools and assess your location:
- Screwdriver and drill
- Measuring tape
- Level
- Wall anchors and screws suitable for your surface
- Power source and outdoor electrical wiring (if required)
Choosing the Optimal Corner Location
Select a corner that provides a clear line of sight to the desired coverage area. Consider the following:
- Avoid obstructions like trees or overhangs that could block the camera view.
- Ensure the floodlights can adequately illuminate the area.
- Place the device at a height of approximately 8-10 feet for optimal coverage.

Follow these steps for secure installation:
- Mark the mounting points on the wall using the bracket as a template.
- Drill holes at the marked points, inserting wall anchors if necessary.
- Attach the mounting bracket securely using screws.
- Connect the power supply, ensuring all wiring complies with safety standards.
- Secure the Floodlight Cam onto the bracket, adjusting the angle to cover both directions.
Adjusting the Camera for Maximum Coverage
Once mounted, use the app to fine-tune the camera’s angle:
