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 
breaker is or how to turn o 
power to your floodlight circuit, 
hire a licensed electrician.

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.
   B   Rotate the camera 180 
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 
box it’s attached to and 
disconnect the wires.

to your junction box, remove 
that as well. 
Inspect your junction box to 
make sure water cannot get 
into it.

Step 4 - Install the 
mounting bracket
Install the mounting bracket 
with the two posts level with the 
ground (or your wall if mounting 
on an overhang).

come through the middle of the 
bracket. 
Attach the bracket to your 
junction box using at least two 
screws.

Step 5 - Hang Floodlight 
Cam
Use the provided hook to hang 
Floodlight Cam from the bracket 
while connecting the wires.
Hook one end onto the bracket 
and the other end in one of 
the mounting holes on your 
Floodlight Cam.
1918

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.
Align the mounting 
posts with the holes on 
Floodlight Cam and press 
together, securing the 
screw cap covers with 
the socket bit.

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.
