• Install the product in accordance with local and national electrical codes. If you have any doubts or
questions about the electrical connections or if you need an electrical junction box installed, contact
a licensed electrician. In certain jurisdictions, this product needs to be installed by a licensed
electrician. Check with local authorities for applicable requirements.
• The product must be mounted on a flat vertical surface capable of supporting the full weight of the
product.
• Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used.
• Do not connect to a dimmer switch or timer.
• Always turn off electricity at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before installation. Failing to do so
could result in serious injury, electrical shock, and/or risk of fire.
• Do not rely on the wall switch alone to turn off the power.
• Do not open or disassemble the product. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Before you begin the installation of the product, it is important that you confirm the availability of
Wi-Fi as well as the signal level 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.
TO CHECK WIFI COVERAGE
1Connect your phone to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network band of your internet/broadband router.
Note: The Swann Floodlight Security Camera will only connect to a 2.4GHz network.
2Place your phone where you are planning 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 icon
on your phone. We recommend a minimum of 1 bar showing on your phone's Wi-Fi icon as shown
below. Further testing should be performed if the Wi-Fi signal strength is only 1 bar.

PREINSTALLATION CHECK
3To avoid any potential Wi-Fi connection issues later, try playing a video on a media streaming
service app, for example, YouTube™or Netflix™, through your phone. If possible, temporarily pause
activities like online 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 on
connecting the Floodlight wiring to a temporary plug and running an extension cord to a wall
outlet so you can power the camera onsite to test Wi-Fi pairing and live video streaming directly
via the Swann Security app. For camera pairing instructions, see page 9.
WIFI WEAK OR OUT OF RANGE
• 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 location.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! TURN POWER OFF AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX.
When installing the unit refer to the Installation Example Diagram on page 6.
1If you're replacing an old floodlight, disassemble it along with any existing mounting bracket
from your junction box and disconnect the wire connections.
CAUTION: Before handling any wiring, use a circuit tester to confirm that the power is off.
2Attach the provided mounting bracket to your junction box using the provided screws. The side
of the mounting bracket marked "GND" should be facing out.
3Peel the backing off the adhesive foam gasket and stick it to the back of the floodlight unit.
4Connect individual supply wires from the junction box to the floodlight unit using the provided
wire nuts. Pair the black supply wire with the black floodlight wire, the white supply wire with
the white floodlight wire, and the bare or green supply wire with the green/yellow floodlight
wire. (For reference, see Power circuit wiring color codes table on the next page.) Make sure
the ground wire is also screwed to the "GND" threaded hole of the mounting bracket with the
green ground screw.
This 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 2.4m (8ft) above the ground.
Read "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" and "PREINSTALLATION CHECK"and make sure the
installation site is Wi-Fi ready before installing the unit.

5After wires are connected, carefully tuck them inside the junction box.
6Place the floodlight unit (make sure the "UP" arrow on the back is pointing up) against the junction
box aligning with the center hole of the mounting bracket and lock it securely with the provided
long bracket screw and washer.
7Insert the provided screw cap firmly into the center mounting hole on the floodlight unit.
8Apply silicone weather sealant (not included) around the mounting surface of the floodlight unit
and junction box for moisture seal. Installation is complete. Remove the protective film from the
camera.
9Turn the electricity back on and allow the camera to power up. This can take up to a minute.
When the camera starts blinking blue, it is ready to be paired with your Wi-Fi network.

If wiring colors 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.

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.

Motion Detection
• The camera's motion sensor is more sensitive to
the movement of heat across the coverage area
and less sensitive to movement directly towards
or away from it.
• Position the camera tilted slightly downwards so
that the likely approach path occurs across the
coverage area (see figure on right). When walking
directly towards or away from the motion sensor
the detection range will be reduced. Note that
detection range may also alter with changes in
ambient temperature.
