How to Set Up Your Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro

What You'll Need

• Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro
• Wyze app (iOS or Android)
• 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network
• Existing outdoor junction box with three wires (hot, neutral, ground)
• Screwdriver and voltage tester

Important: This is a hardwired installation. If you are not comfortable working with household wiring, hire a licensed electrician.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Do not just flip the light switch. Use a voltage tester on the wires to confirm there is no power.
2. Remove the old fixture from the junction box. Take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting anything.
3. Mount the bracket to the junction box using the included hardware.
4. Connect the wires:
   • Black to black (hot)
   • White to white (neutral)
   • Green or bare copper to green (ground)

   Tug each connection to confirm it is secure, then tuck wires into the box.

5. Attach the floodlight to the bracket and tighten it down.
6. Turn on power at the breaker.
7. Set up in the Wyze app: Tap "+", select Cameras, then Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro. Scan the QR code and connect to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
8. Aim the floodlight heads. Loosen the adjustment knobs, angle the lights, and retighten.

Key Features to Configure

• Motion-Activated Lighting: The 2600-lumen floodlights turn on when motion is detected. Adjust sensitivity to avoid triggering on passing cars or animals.
• 2K Video: Records at 2K with a 180-degree field of view. Configure a detection zone to focus alerts on your yard instead of the street.
• Continuous Recording: Since it is hardwired, insert a microSD card for 24/7 local recording without cloud storage.
• Siren: Trigger a loud siren from the app as a deterrent.

Platform Integration

• Alexa: Link the Wyze skill to view the feed on Echo Show or Fire TV and control the floodlights by voice.
• Google Home: Connect your Wyze account to stream video on Nest Hub displays. The floodlights show up as controllable lights.
• Home Assistant: Use the Wyze HACS integration or enable RTSP for direct video streaming.

Troubleshooting

• Lights not triggering: Check that motion-activated lighting is on in the app. Increase sensitivity and detection range.
• Camera on but lights off: The lights have a separate toggle in the app -- make sure they are not manually turned off.
• Wi-Fi drops: Outdoor cameras often sit far from the router. A Wi-Fi extender in a window or garage facing the camera can help.
• False alerts from bugs: Insects attracted to the warmth trigger constant alerts in summer. Lower sensitivity and exclude the area around the lights with a detection zone.
• Factory reset: Turn off the breaker for 10 seconds, turn it back on, then hold the setup button until you hear "Ready to connect."
