WARNING: Risk of electrical shock
• Disconnect power at the fuse or circuit breaker
before installing.
• Verify that the supply voltage is correct. Connect
fixture to a 100 VAC~240 VAC 50/60 Hz power
source.
• Properly ground fixture.
• Always follow code standards when installing wired
connections.
CAUTION: Risk of fire
• Do not install near combustible or flamable surfaces
NOTICE
• Do not connect this light fixture to a dimmer switch
or timer.
Step 1– Shut power o
at the breaker
If you don’t know where your

Step 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.

degrees since Floodlight Cam
ships with the camera upside
down on the fixture.
Do not remove your Floodlight Cam from the ball
socket on the base.

Floodlight Cam must be installed on a junction box. If
you don’t have an existing junction box, you’ll need to
hire a licensed electrician to install one.
Step 3 - Remove your
existing floodlight
A With power o at the
breaker, remove your existing
floodlight from the junction

Step 6 - Connect the
ground wire
The copper wire from Floodlight
Cam is a ground.
Connect the ground wire to
the green ground screw on the
bracket and the existing ground
wire inside your junction box.
Use one of the supplied wire nuts
if necessary.
For safety and the proper operation of your Ring
Floodlight Cam, the fixture must be properly
grounded. If you’re not familiar with the methods
for properly grounding this type of fixture, consult a
licensed electrician.

Step 7 - Connect the
power wires
Use a wire nut to connect the
white wire coming out of your
junction box to the white wire on
your Floodlight Cam.
Then, connect the black wire
from your junction box to the
black wire on Floodlight Cam with
another wire nut.
If you don’t have clearly colored black and white wires
coming out of your junction box, consult a licensed
electrician.

Step 8 - Place Floodlight
Cam on the bracket
Carefully push all the wires
through the large opening in
the bracket.

Troubleshooting Tips
Floodlight Cam is not lighting up when I
restore power.
See if there is a light switch controlling power
to your floodlight fixture. If so, make sure it
is switched on and stays switched on. If your
fixture is connected to a timer, you’ll need to
turn o the timer functionality.
Floodlight Cam lights up, but I can’t complete
the in-app setup.
First, triple check your Wi-Fi password, since
this is the most common reason Floodlight Cam
can’t complete setup.
Second, check the distance to your Wi-Fi
router or access point. If Floodlight Cam is too
far from your access point, this will prevent
setup from completing. In this instance, our
product Chime Pro can help boost your Wi-Fi
signal and provide audible alerts from your
Floodlight Cam.

Troubleshooting Tips
The picture on my Floodlight Cam is upside
down.
Double check to see if you rotated the camera
on your Floodlight Cam before installing it.
I’m having issues with video/audio quality
and/or load times.
Issues with video and/or audio are usually
related to problems with Wi-Fi signal strength
or Internet speed. For an optimal experience,
we recommend Internet speeds of at least
1Mbps. Check your Internet speed by selecting
Device Health in the Ring app, then selecting
Test Your Wi-Fi.
If your Internet speed is sucient, then look
at Signal Strength in Device Health. If Signal
Strength is not Good, you’ll need to boost the
Wi-Fi signal to your Floodlight Cam, which can
be done with our product, Chime Pro.
