Safety and compliance information for the Hardwired Kit for Outdoor Cam Pro and Spotlight Cam Pro (2nd Gen)

Hardware included

Tools needed

Phillips-head screwdriver

Caulk gun

WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect power to installation area at your circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Always use caution when handling electrical wiring. Installation by a qualified electrician may be required in your area. Refer to your local laws and building codes before performing electrical work; permits plus professional installation may be required by law. Your Hardwire Kit must be installed on a 4“ round UL listed weatherproof electrical box when installed outdoors.

Note: If your power system is classified as OVC III, please check the building “Distribution Panel”, Ex switch panel has installed Surge Protectors. Ensure that the surge protector is a UL 1449 certified Surge Protector to reduce Mains Transient Voltage to Overvoltage Category II (2500 V pk or lower) before connecting to all AC Inputs. If there is no Surge Protector, do not install Hardwired Kit without one. Before you begin installing your Hardwired Kit, make sure that you’re following safety code standards.

1. Shut off power at the breaker.

Junction boxes

For installing out-of-wall, 4-inch metal and plastic junction boxes:

Inspect your junction box before installing your Hardwired Kit. If you notice any signs of water ingress, pooling water, visible condensation, or rusted or corroded metal components, consult a qualified electrician in your area before proceeding with installation.

Requires a minimum 14AWG or higher 3-core cable.

Optional: Temporarily install a machine screw to hold the S-hook for help connecting the wires. Remove the temporary screw after wires are connected.

1.

For metal: Connect the green earth wires with junction box earth screw. (Home protective earthing and wired mount bonding conductor wires) See connection diagram. Then, connect the white (N) and black (L) wires with wire nuts.

If you can’t easily identify the wires coming out of your junction box, or have difficulty with or are uncomfortable connecting them, consult a licensed electrician.

For plastic: Connect the green earth wires with a wire nut. (Home protective earthing and wired mount bonding conductor wires) See connection diagram. Then, connect the white (N) and black (L) wires with wire nuts.

If you can’t easily identify the wires coming out of your junction box, or have difficulty with or are uncomfortable connecting them, consult a licensed electrician.

Note: If you ever need to remove wires: Remove the white (N) and black (L) wires. Then, remove the wired mount bonding conductor wire and the home protective earthing conductor wire.

2. For metal and plastic: Gently put the wires in the junction box and secure the wired mount to the junction box with 4 machine or tapping screws with O-rings.

3a. For metal: Then, tighten the screws into the wired mount until the foam backing fully seals the junction box to prevent water from entering.

3b. For plastic: Tighten the screws into the wired mount until the foam backing fully seals the junction box to prevent water from entering.

For in-wall and out-of-wall junction boxes:

4. Apply a weatherproof silicone caulk or sealant around the outside where the wired mount and junction box or wall meet to prevent water from entering the junction box.

5. Apply cosmetic screw plugs.

For installing in-wall, 3.5-inch plastic junction box and switch box:

1.

For junction and switch box: Attach the adapter plate to junction box with 2 tapping screws.

Requires a minimum 14AWG or higher 3-core cable.

NOTE: If using a metal junction box, use screw C.

2a.

For junction and switch box: Connect the green earth wires with a wire nut. Then, connect the white (N) and black (L) wires with wire nuts. If you can’t easily identify the wires coming out of your junction box, or have difficulty with or are uncomfortable connecting them, consult a licensed electrician.

Optional: Temporarily install a machine screw to hold the S-hook for help connecting the wires. Remove the temporary screw after wires are connected.

Note: If you ever need to remove wires: Remove the white (N) and black (L) wires. Then, remove the wired mount bonding conductor wire and the home protective earthing conductor wire.

3. For junction and switch box: Stuff the wires gently into the junction box and screw the wired mount to the adapter plate with 4 machine screws with O-rings.

4. For junction and switch box: Then, tighten the screws into the wired mount until the foam backing fully seals the junction box to prevent water from entering. (1.37-1.47N/m of torque force)

For in-wall and out-of-wall junction boxes:

5. Apply a weatherproof silicone caulk or sealant around the outside where the wired mount and junction box or wall meet to prevent water from entering the junction box.

6. Apply cosmetic screw plugs.
