SWIFI-FLOCAM2

• 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Learn more about using your Swann Floodlight security camera, such as viewing live video and event

clips as well as adjusting camera settings including floodlight brightness and siren duration, by

downloading the Swann Security manual from the app menu .

SET UP THE CAMERA

Open the Swann Security app on your phone and sign in. Tap the Pair Device button on the screen (or

open Menu and select Pair Device) and follow the in-app instructions to set up your new camera.

TIPS

Angle Adjustments

To adjust the direction of the lamps and the camera, loosen the corresponding adjustment knob or locking nut/collar.

Less

sensitive

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.
