Safety First: Turn Off the Power

Before you begin, make sure to turn off the power at your breaker to avoid any electrical hazards.

Positioning the Camera

For optimal performance, mount the camera about 9 feet above the ground, ensuring the sensor is parallel to the ground.

Preparing for Installation

1. Remove Components: Start by taking off the rubber washers and decorative nuts, then remove the mounting plate.
2. Attach to a Flush Mount Junction Box:• Secure the mounting bar using the provided screws.• If there's a gap between the bar and the mounting plate, use the provided spacer to close it.

Wiring the Camera

1. Feed the Wires: Pass the supply wires through the mounting gasket and the mounting plate.
2. Secure to the Mounting Bar: Use the provided screw to attach the wires to the mounting bar, making sure the terminal block is facing up.
3. Connect the Wires:• Using a small flathead screwdriver, connect the neutral wire to the end inputs.
   • Connect the ground wire to the GND inputs.
   • Connect the line wire to the L inputs.
   Note: If you're unsure about identifying the wires, please consult a qualified electrician.

Mounting the Fixture

1. Place the Fixture: Position the fixture over the mounting screws.
2. Secure It: Use the rubber washers and decorative nuts to hold it in place.
3. Seal It: Apply a silicone sealant around the base of the fixture to waterproof it.

2. Check the Indicator Light: Confirm that the indicator light is flashing blue.
