Install the mounting plate.
For wall installation, the UP arrow should point up. For an
eave or overhang, the arrow should point toward the area
you want to monitor for motion.

If installing on a wood surface, screw the plate directly into
the wall.

If installing on a masonry surface, mark four screw holes
using the plate as a guide.

Drill pilot holes using a 1/4” (6mm) drill bit. Insert the
included wall anchors, then drive the four mounting screws
through the mounting plate into the wall anchors.

WARNING! Only use the included mounting screws
when securing the mounting plate.
CAUTION! DO NOT drill into your home’s electrical wiring.
