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. 

For more installation info, see the 

Advanced Installation Options

 section.

If you don’t have clearly colored black 

and white wires coming out of your 

electrical box, consult with a licensed 

electrician.
