How to Install Feit Electric Floodlight Security Camera: Step-by-Step Guide

Installing a security camera can be a great way to keep your home safe. The Feit Electric Floodlight Security Camera is a good option. It gives you both light and security. This guide will show you how to install it step-by-step.

What You Need

Before you start, make sure you have all the tools and equipment. Here is a list of what you need:

• Feit Electric Floodlight Security Camera
• Screwdriver
• Drill (if needed)
• Mounting screws
• Electrical tape
• Ladder
• Wi-Fi connection
• Smartphone or tablet

Step 1: Turn Off Power

First, turn off the power to the area where you will install the camera. Go to your home’s breaker box. Find the switch for the outdoor lights or the area you will work on. Flip the switch to the “Off” position. This will keep you safe from electric shocks.

Step 2: Remove Old Light Fixture

If you have an old light fixture, you need to remove it. Use a screwdriver to take out the screws holding the fixture. Gently pull the fixture away from the wall. Be careful with the wires. Use electrical tape to cover the ends of the wires. This will keep them safe while you work.

Step 3: Prepare the Wires

Now, you need to prepare the wires for the new camera. Strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the wires. You will have three wires: black, white, and green or copper. The black wire is “hot,” the white wire is “neutral,” and the green or copper wire is “ground.”

Step 4: Mount the Camera

Next, take the mounting bracket from the Feit Electric Floodlight Security Camera package. Place it where you want to install the camera. Use a pencil to mark the spots for the screws. If needed, drill holes at the marked spots. Use the mounting screws to attach the bracket to the wall. Make sure it is secure.

Step 5: Connect the Wires

Now, connect the wires from the camera to the wires from your home. Match the colors: black to black, white to white, and green or copper to green or copper. Use wire nuts to twist the wires together. Wrap the connections with electrical tape. This will keep the wires safe and secure.

Step 6: Attach the Camera

After connecting the wires, attach the camera to the mounting bracket. Use the screws provided in the package. Make sure the camera is secure and tight. Adjust the camera angle to cover the area you want to monitor.

Step 7: Turn On Power

Go back to your home’s breaker box. Flip the switch to the “On” position. This will turn the power back on to the area where you installed the camera. Check to make sure the light turns on.

Step 8: Set Up the Camera

Now, you need to set up the camera with your Wi-Fi. Download the Feit Electric app on your smartphone or tablet. Follow the instructions in the app to connect the camera to your Wi-Fi network. This will allow you to see the camera feed on your device.

Step 9: Test the Camera

After setting up the camera, test it to make sure it works. Open the Feit Electric app. Check the live feed from the camera. Adjust the camera angle if needed. Make sure the camera covers the area you want to monitor.

Step 10: Adjust Settings

In the Feit Electric app, you can adjust the camera settings. Set the motion detection sensitivity. Choose the areas you want to monitor. You can also set up alerts. This way, you will get notifications if the camera detects movement.
