• Before you permanently mount the floodlight unit, it is important that you confirm the availability
of Wi-Fi as well as the signal strength at the desired installation location.
• Note that Wi-Fi quality can vary significantly at different locations around the home due to
environmental factors such as home construction type and wireless interference from other
electronic devices.
Checking your Wi-Fi network coverage
1Connect your phone to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network band of your internet/broadband router.
Note: The camera can connect to a 2.4GHz network only.
2Bring your phone to the location where you want to install the floodlight unit. If you have Wi-Fi
connection on your phone, the camera will also likely be able to obtain Wi-Fi connection. Check
the Wi-Fi signal strength status icon at the top of your phone screen. We recommend a minimum
of 1 bar showing as shown below. Further testing should be performed if the Wi-Fi signal strength
is only a single bar.

GETTING STARTED
MicroSD card
The camera comes with a pre-installed 32GB microSD card which is required for recording events and
performing firmware updates. You can easily replace it with any compatible microSD card (up to 64GB,
minimum Class 10 recommended). Make sure to format any microSD card the first time you use it with
the camera. Go to the device’s advanced settings screen in the app and select Format.
pause all online activities such as gaming and video streaming on other devices connected to your
network while you perform testing, as this can affect the connection speed and quality.
4If you don't experience any video streaming issues (buffering, stuttering, etc), you can proceed
with the installation of the product. There are also Wi-Fi surveying and speed tools available
online that can help you analyze and test the quality of your Wi-Fi connection including download
and upload speeds (minimum internet upload speed of 1 Mbps is recommended for optimal video
streaming).
5If you still have any concerns about your Wi-Fi coverage, consult a licensed electrician about
connecting the floodlight wires to a temporary plug and running an extension cord to a wall
outlet. This will enable you to power the camera onsite and directly test Wi-Fi pairing and live
streaming with the Swann Security app.
Improving your Wi-Fi network signal
• If you're getting a weak Wi-Fi signal or you can’t connect to Wi-Fi at all on your phone at the
installation site, we recommend moving your router closer, installing a Wi-Fi extender (which can
help improve signal reception) or selecting another location.
• Do not proceed with the installation of this product until you have thoroughly tested and confirmed
the availability and reliability of the Wi-Fi connection at your desired installation location.

If wiring colors from the junction box do not match —
a common issue in older homes — contact a licensed
electrician who will be able to help you check and
identify the electrical wiring. Do not guess the wires. Incorrect
wire connection will damage the unit and could cause fire or injury.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! TURN POWER OFF AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX.
CAUTION: BEFORE HANDLING ANY WIRING, USE A CIRCUIT TESTER TO CONFIRM THAT THE POWER IS OFF.
When installing the floodlight unit refer to the installation diagram on the previous page.
1If you're replacing an old floodlight, disassemble it along with any existing mounting bracket from
the junction box and disconnect the wire connections.
2The floodlight unit's mounting bracket comes pre-assembled. Remove both the screw cap and the
floodlight mounting screw
A
to separate the mounting bracket.
3Fix the mounting strap to the junction box using two mounting screws B (supplied) that best fit
the junction box. The side of the mounting strap marked "FRONT" should be facing out.
4Connect the junction box and floodlight wires using the wire nuts supplied. Use the color code of
the wires to match correct connections, as shown in the installation diagram.
5Once the wires are connected, carefully tuck them into the junction box.
6Position the mounting bracket on the junction box, insert the mounting bracket screw Cthrough
the mounting bracket hole into the center hole of the mounting strap, then tighten the mounting
bracket screw to secure in place.
The floodlight unit is designed to be mounted on a standard wiring junction box and requires
connection to a 100-240VAC power supply. For optimum results, install the unit at least 8 feet (2.4m)
above the ground.
NOTE: BEFORE MOUNTING, ENSURE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION IS WITHIN RANGE OF YOUR CURRENT WIFI SIGNAL.
SEE "GETTING STARTED" ON PAGES 45 FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO CHECK WIFI COVERAGE.

. Then insert the screw cap firmly into the mounting screw hole.
8It is recommended that silicone sealant (not supplied) be applied around the edge of the
mounting bracket (between the bracket and the surface) to prevent moisture from entering the
junction box.
9Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse box and allow the camera to power up. This can take
up to 2 minutes. When the LED indicator starts blinking blue, the camera is ready to be paired
with your Wi-Fi network. See "Set up the Camera" on page 7 for pairing instructions.
TIP If you have a light switch that controls the floodlight unit, remember not to turn off the switch as this
will also turn off the camera. The camera needs to be powered at all times to stay connected to your
Wi-Fi. Put a sticker label on the light switch so that people know not to turn it off.
