Tap Add this device when the floodlight camera is detected.
Tap Join to connect to the floodlight camera’s hotspot.
Note: If the app does not connect automatically, go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings and connect to the floodlight camera’s network (example: "FL301A-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX") manually.
Select your Wi-Fi networkin the app and enter the password.
Note: Scroll down to see more networks, or tap Rescan for networks if yours doesn’t appear.
Name your camera, tap Continue, and allow any updates to install if prompted.
If available, unlock additional features with Lorex Cloud Storage.

Warning: Audio recording laws vary by region. Ensure compliance with local regulations before enabling this feature.

Status LED

Your camera’s LED light tells you what’s happening:

Solid Red	This means your camera is on but hasn't been set up or connected to the Lorex Cloud yet.
Solid Red (while resetting)	This means a factory reset is in progress.
Flashing Green	This means your camera is ready to set up or is connecting to the Lorex Cloud.
Flashing Red	This means your camera is connected to Wi-Fi but can't reach the internet. Check your router or modem.
Solid Green	This means your camera is working normally. (You can turn the light off in the Lorex Connect app if you prefer.)
Flashing Red & Green	This means a firmware update is in progress. Keep the camera powered on until it finishes.

Camera Placement Tips

Note: Test placement temporarily (with the floodlight camera powered on) before permanently mounting to make sure detection zones, lighting, and video coverage meet your needs.

Height: Install the floodlight camera 8-10 ft (2.5-3 m) above the ground. This height balances a wide field of view with accurate motion/person detection.
Angle: Tilt the floodlight camera slightly downward so it can clearly capture faces and important details.
Coverage: Position the floodlight to cover entry points like driveways, garages, front doors, or backyards.
Clear view: Keep the area in front of the camera free from trees, walls, or other objects that could block the IR night vision or trigger false alerts.
Lighting: Avoid pointing directly at bright lights, streetlights, windows, mirrors, or shiny surfaces to reduce glare.
Wi-Fi: Ensure the installation spot has a strong 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal. Use the Lorex Connect app (Settings > Device info > Signal strength) to check before finalizing placement.
Detection range: Person detection works best within 23 ft (7 m). Aim the floodlight camera toward the expected movement path (walkways, doors) rather than open streets to reduce false alerts.

Installing the Floodlight Camera

To install the floodlight camera:

Choose a mounting location that offers a clear view and access to a power outlet.
Place the provided mounting template on the wall where you want to install the floodlight camera.
Drill where marked. Use drywall anchors if installing into drywall.
Peel off the backing from the adhesive mounting pad (foam piece) and press the adhesive side firmly to the bottom of the floodlight camera’s bracket.
Align the bracket with the drilled holes and secure it using the provided screws.
Loosen the bracket’s adjustment ring by turning it counterclockwise, position the camera to your desired angle, then tighten the ring clockwise to lock the position.
Ensure the side with the speaker faces downward.
- Rotate bracket 360°
- Tilt camera down 90°
- Pan camera left/right 180°
Plug the floodlight camera’s cable into the power adapter and make sure the connection feels tight for a safe, waterproof seal.
If the cable unplugs easily, it is not fully connected and may allow water to seep in.
Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
