Mounting Styles
When mounting to a vertical wall, you’ll
usually want the mounting port to point
downwards.
When mounting to an overhang or
eave, face the mounting port in the
direction you want the camera to see.
Installing on an
overhang or eave?
Out of the box, your Spotlight Cam
is set up for mounting on a vertical
surface. To prepare it for
horizontal mounting:
Unscrew the nut on the rear of the
backbox cover, then pull Spotlight Cam
and its wiring harness out of the cover.
Next, swivel the cover 180 degrees
and reinsert Spotlight Cam. Finally, re-
tighten the nut on the rear of the cover.

Shut power off at
the fusebox.
If you don’t know where your fusebox
is or how to turn off power to the circuit
you want to use, consult with a
licensed electrician.
If your local laws require it, hire a
licensed electrician to complete all
installation and wiring.
Cut the grommet.
The included backbox has two cable
inlets with rubber grommets. Choose
the inlet that suits your install location,
then get out the scissors.
Cut off the end of the grommet cone
at a point where it’s a bit narrower than
your cable. If you’re routing the cable
through the rear, insert it now.

Remove the camera.
While holding the backbox cover, turn
Spotlight Cam to the left to disengage
it, and set the camera aside for now.
Prepare the backbox.
If you haven’t already, push your
power cable into the box through the
grommet you cut.
Drive two of the included Mounting
Screws through the holes on either side
of the backbox to secure it.
Next, secure the earth wire from your
home (bare copper or green/yellow
jacketed) under the earthing screw.
If installing on a hard surface like brick
or stucco, pre-drill these holes with the
included bit and push the included
anchors into the holes. 1

Line up the ends of each
pair of wires side-by-side,
and fully insert them into
the holes in the clip.
Then, just push the
orange tabs down to
close and secure the
connection.
The white wire on the
