Before beginning installation, unbox your floodlight camera and verify all components are included. You should have the camera unit, mounting bracket, screws, anchors, power cable, and user manual. Gather necessary tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and ladder.
Choosing the Installation Location
Select a suitable location that covers the desired surveillance area. Ensure the spot has access to a power source and is within Wi-Fi range. Consider height and angle for optimal coverage and deterrence.
Safety Precautions
Use a sturdy ladder and wear protective gear as needed. Turn off power at the circuit breaker if working near electrical wiring. Follow local electrical codes and regulations.
Installing the Mounting Bracket
Mark the drilling points on the wall using the mounting template. Drill holes at the marked points, insert anchors if needed, and secure the mounting bracket with screws. Ensure the bracket is level and firmly attached.
Connecting Power and Mounting the Camera
Attach the floodlight camera to the mounting bracket. Connect the power cable securely, ensuring all connections are safe and protected from the elements. Adjust the camera angle to cover the desired area.

Wi-Fi Connection
Ensure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Select your device in the app, enter your Wi-Fi password if prompted, and wait for the connection to establish.
Adjusting Camera Settings
Use the app to customize motion detection zones, alert preferences, and recording schedules. Test the camera by triggering motion to verify detection and notification settings.
Final Tips for Optimal Use
