• Before mounting the camera permanently, 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.
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.
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
signal strength status icon at the top of your phone screen. We recommend a minimum of 1 bar
showing on the Wi-Fi icon as shown below. Further testing should be performed if the Wi-Fi signal
strength is only a single bar.

GETTING STARTED
3To avoid any potential Wi-Fi connection issues later, try playing a video through a media
streaming service app, for example, YouTube™or Netflix™, on your phone. If possible, temporarily
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 floodlight camera. 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).
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.
MicroSD card
The floodlight 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.

MOUNT THE CAMERA
Follow these steps to mount the floodlight camera. We recommend pairing the floodlight camera
before permanently mounting it on the wall to ensure it is working properly. See "SET UP THE
CAMERA" on page 7 for pairing instructions.
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.
1Detach the mounting bracket from the base of the floodlight camera by pressing the release latch
on the bottom of the mounting bracket and then sliding it off.
2Hold the mounting bracket against the wall and mark the location of the four screw holes.
3If mounting on a masonry surface or drywall, drill holes and insert the wall plugs provided.
4Fix the mounting bracket securely to the wall using the screws provided.
5Re-attach the floodlight camera by sliding the base down onto the mounted bracket until it snaps
into place.
6Plug the power cord of the floodlight camera directly into a wall power outlet and switch the
power on. Do not use a double adapter or power board for the floodlight camera.
7Check the camera’s view by looking at the live stream in the Swann Security app. Tilt and swivel
the camera to adjust the viewing angle, if necessary.
NOTE: PLEASE ENSURE THE MOUNTING BRACKET IS MOUNTED ON A SECURE AND STABLE WALL CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING
THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE UNIT.

Motion Detection
• The camera's PIR 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.
• For best motion detection performance,
position the camera tilted slightly downwards
where the likely approach path occurs will
be 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. The motion detection sensitivity of the
camera can be adjusted in the Swann Security app to suit the environment.
