What’s Included Aria Floodlight Gasket Mounting Bracket Screwdriver Wire Nuts (x3) #8 Long Bracket Screw #10, #8, #6 Short Bracket Screws (x2 each) #10 #8 #6 Note: There are three sizes of screws provided. #8 is the most commonly used, however your junction box may use #10 or #6 size screws instead. Make sure to use the screw size that fits your junction box.
Wi-Fi Requirements The Aria requires a 2.4GHz (802.11bg/n) for Wi-Fi connectivity. This is a standard home Wi-Fi router. You will need your Wi-Fi name and password when pairing your mobile device and the Aria. Note: If you are using a 2.4GHz + 5 GHz dual band router, create separate SSID names for each band on your Wi-Fi router settings page. This will make it easier for you to select the 2.4GHz band for the device setup.
Installation Requirements 1. To install the Aria, you must already have an existing floodlight you wish to replace or have a setup location with an installed junction box and available electrical wiring. 2. Voltage supplied to the Aria should be between 110240VAC. 3. Setup location is recommended to be at least 6 to 10 feet from the ground. 4.
Aria Installation Before you begin: - Shut OFF the power at the fuse or circuit breaker box. - DO NOT rely on a wall switch alone to turn off the power. - If you’re unsure which switch it is to turn off the floodlight’s power, please consult with a licensed electrician. - WARNING: Failing to shut off the power could result in a serious injury, electrical shock, and/or risk of fire. - You will likely require a ladder to reach the setup location.

Step 2: Remove your existing floodlight - NOTE: Your power to the floodlight should be off already at this point from the breaker box. - Use a screwdriver or another tool (depending on your floodlight) to remove the floodlight from the junction box. - Disconnect the wires from the floodlight. - If there is a mounting bracket attached to your junction box, you may remove that as well.
Step 3: Install the new mounting bracket and gasket - Use the provided screws in the box to install the mounting bracket onto your junction box. Make sure it is tight and secure. - With the provided gasket, peel off the white tape and stick that side around the wall opening. Make sure the center hole lines up with the center bracket hole and that there are no openings around the gasket.
base should be facing outwards away from the house (see pg.12 for reference). - Use the provided wire nut to twist the open ends of the ground wires from your home’s junction box and the Aria’s mounting base together. - Then, do the same for the two black wires and the two white wires. - Push all the excess wiring into the junction box.
Step 5: Install the mounting base - First, make sure that the mounting base is set properly so that the top screw hole is positioned at the very top. - With the provided #8 long screw, push the screw through the middle screw-hole of the mounting base. It should also pass through the gasket and finally into the middle of the mounting bracket. Use the provided screwdriver to secure it tightly. - Ensure that the gasket and base is tight and does not move.
Step 6: Mount the Aria - The floodlight can now be mounted onto the mounting base. Make sure the screw-hole at the top matches on both the mounting plate and the floodlight, then use the provided screw and screwdriver to screw them tightly in place. Step 7: Turn on the power - Turn on the power from the power breaker to provide power back to the Aria. You should hear a sound play from the Aria that it’s ready to pair.
Step 8: Pair the Aria Note: Your Aria should already be installed and powered on before pairing. To begin using your Aria, you will first need to pair it to your Momentum account and then connect it to your Wi-Fi network. - Once your Aria has been powered on the first time, it should already be put into pairing mode. There will also be a sound played to notify you that it’s in pairing mode as well.

Siren Activation Your Aria has a built-in siren that is loud enough to scare away any perpetrators. You can activate the siren from the Siren Tile or the Aria live view screen.
Camera Functions Your Momentum Aria has several functions you can control through the Momentum app. To enter the camera controls, select the camera tile from the dashboard.

Setting up Rules Your Aria will record video when rules have been set through the Momentum App. Rules allow your device to activate and monitor the area while you are not watching the live stream. Set triggers to have your Aria activate under certain conditions. Triggers You can set a trigger for the Aria to have it start automatically recording after detecting motion. Adding a New Rule Add the days of the week and times of the days you want this rule to be set in place.
Mobile Alerts Once you have created a Rule set to your chosen parameters, you will receive a notification alert to your mobile device if an event is triggered. If you’d like to stop receiving alerts, you must turn it off from your mobile device’s notification settings for the Momentum App, or turn off the Rules or Triggers directly from the Momentum App. You may also view all of your previous alerts by tapping the Activity tile on your Dashboard.
Viewing Recorded Photos and Videos On the Home screen, tap the Activity tile to view recorded videos, captured photos, or alerts for a specific day. You can also access the activity list from the live camera view. When you select a video in your activity list, it will begin playing back automatically. To rewind or fast forward, tap the video to reveal the video playback controls.
Saving and Deleting Recordings If you have purchased a cloud subscription and set up a rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be automatically saved onto the cloud for the predetermined time, depending on which plan you have purchased. If you have inserted your own micro-SD card and set up a rule for recordings, footage of those recordings will be saved on the micro-SD card until the storage becomes full and loops back over to record over your previous recordings.
Restoring Forgotten Passwords If you've forgotten your login password, tap on the Forgot Password button at the sign in page. You will receive an email with instructions to guide you through the rest of the way.
Resetting the Device If your Momentum Aria is having connection issues, most of the time a reset will fix the issue. 1. To reset your Aria, detach the camera from the floodlight (but still leave the wires connected) and hold the reset button inside the camera for 10 seconds. 2. The Aria will then be ready to connect to the Wi-Fi again. You will then need to follow the pairing process again (see instructions for pairing).
