To install your Floodlight Cam device, follow these steps: 

1. Shut power off at the fuse box 

Turn off power to your floodlight circuit at the fuse box to ensure no power is being sent.

2. Prep your Floodlight Cam for installation

A) Loosen the knobs on the light fixtures to rotate them out of the way and allow access to the mounting screws.

Do not remove your Floodlight Cam from the ball socket on the base.

B) Rotate the camera 180 degrees since Floodlight Cam ships with the camera upside down on the fixture.
