How it all fits together...
Remove your Spotlight Cam from its base
While holding the mounting base, turn Spotlight Cam to the left to disengage it, and set the camera aside for now.
Mounting Styles: Wall
When mounting to a vertical wall, you'll usually want the mounting port to face downwards.
Mounting Styles: Ceiling
If mounting to a horizontal surface, face the port in the direction you want the camera to see.
Ensure that the electrical box you use is weatherproof, including threaded plugs. Use sealant if necessary.
Installation Height and Motion Detection
When mounted at the recommended height (9 feet up, with the motion sensor parallel to the ground), your Spotlight Cam is optimized to detect humansized objects at up to 30 feet.
Shut power off at the breaker
If you don't know where your breaker is or how to turn off power to your electrical box, consult with a licensed electrician.
Remove your existing light or camera (if applicable)
With power off at the breaker, remove your existing floodlight or camera from the electrical box and disconnect the wires. If there is a bracket attached to your electrical box, remove that as well.
Hang the box cover
Inspect the box to make sure water can't get in.
Then use the included hanging hook to hold the weatherproof box cover in place as you wire it in.
Connect the power wires
Connect the black and white wires on the wiring harness to the black (hot) and white (neutral) wires coming out of your electrical box.
Use the included wire nuts to secure and protect the connections.
The red wire is optional, and should only be connected if you wish to control other lights with your Spotlight Cam.
If you don't have clearly colored black and white wires coming out of your electrical box, consult with a licensed electrician.
Auxiliary Light Control
Your Spotlight Cam has an advanced motion detection system. If you'd like other lights (such as floodlights) to be triggered by the motion detector in your Spotlight Cam, wire them according to this diagram.
Your connected lights also turn on when you manually enable your Spotlight Cam lights in the Ring app.
Screw in the box cover
Use the included screws to secure the box cover to the electrical box. Be sure to add a metal washer, then a rubber washer to each screw before inserting.
Some round boxes may only take two screws. Seal unused holes in the cover with the included screws and nuts. Add a metal washer backed by a rubber washer to each side before tightening the nut.
Mount your Spotlight Cam
Insert your Spotlight Cam into the box cover. Once it's fully seated, turn to the right to lock it in.
Add the Security Screw
Insert and tighten the security screw to lock your Spotlight Cam into the box cover.
Turn on power at the breaker
Once your Spotlight Cam is installed, it's time to turn power back on at the breaker.
If the lights on your Spotlight Cam turn on, you're all set!
If not, turn power off at the breaker and check your connections.
Try it out
After setup, tap the Live View button in the Ring app to see video from your Spotlight Cam. If you have any problems, visit ring.com/help.
White light flashing
If the light on the bottom of your Spotlight Cam flashes or stays illuminated after setup, this means it's updating its internal software. This update can take up to a few minutes. The light turns off when the update is complete.
Adjust the camera angle
To ensure accurate motion detection, position your Spotlight Cam so the border of the motion detector is parallel with the ground. Tighten the side screw to secure the camera position.
