When installing the Tapo floodlight camera on your existing junction box or with existing electrical wires, you may encounter the following situations:
• The wires from the junction box or wall are too short to connect.
• The wires from the junction box or wall are too soft to connect.
• The wires from the junction box or wall are too stiff to connect.
To deal with these situations, you can use extension wires and wire nuts/connectors.
When you use click flow connectors or a connector strip as below, please use the heat shrink tubes to cover the connectors and extension wires outside (at least 8 mm).
Note: If it is too difficult for you, please consult a licensed electrician.
If you use wires nuts, please refer to the following steps.
- Align the Neutral wire (usually white/blue) with the white extension wire ends.

- Place one wire nut connector over the wires. Twist the wire nut clockwise to tighten the wires.
- Repeat the above steps to extend the Line wire (usually black/brown/red) using the black extension wire and another wire nut.
When installing on the existing junction box:
When installing with existing electrical wires:
- Use two heat shrink tubes to cover the wire nuts and wires outside (at least 8 mm).
- Follow the Quick Start Guide to wire the bracket and install the floodlight camera. Do not turn on the circuit breaker before completing the installation.
