Did u figure it out? I will be running wire to the camera but i dont know where to tie it in to the home
So far I only have one of the 5 up. kzread.infoUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe My son ran out of time, with motion detector etc. I have it over my garage door. It works great. Have seen a couple of cats, my dogs, when I am out front. And had a bee buzzing around right in front of it. It works very well. It even shows the neighbour's driveway, but only shows movement just past my own, which is very long. I highly recommend them.
Thank you so much. Seeing your video made me realize it's not so hard to install. So I went out and bought a floodlight pro and just finished installing it and setting it up. Thank you again. Your video really helped!
Don’t trust the test button, you could have a malfunction on the light but still have voltage on your wires. It’s best to use a voltage tester to ensure the absence of voltage before you begin working on replacing the light

Is it a plug at the other end?
If you're trying to install the Ring Floodlight cam (model # 2210C-XYZ) with a 5" base and you need a junction box for it, you'll discover that round junction boxes with 5" diameters are very difficult to find. The large majority of them are 4". I finally found one that'll fit. It's the Grainger Surface mount wiring box, 5", White (model # 14G265). But, bear in mind that Grainger has really odd hours. They close at 4 pm on weekdays, and they are closed all day Sat and Sun.
When putting stranded wires to solid wires you don’t twist the wires together rather you put the stranded wire slightly higher/longer then the solid wire then use the wire nuts as normal and you will find it makes a way better connection it helps to twits the stranded wire by it’s self to tighten the strands together

Only if you had flood lights….
Excellent content - well produced!
Where's the white backplate from? I have a rectangular flood light backing onto the house (brick). Instead of having to cut out a whole, I'd like to use one of those plates and just have the wiring come through and put the circular backplate over that.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks, you saved me time and can the manual be any smaller. The hook is now a nylon strap which worked fine and they never mention using the handle to tighten down the nuts in the end. Thanks again
You made it easy to install
Great video
Good job 👍
Loved your video…. Can these floodlights replace existing out door light with a switch that turns the lights on and off?
Excellent video
Once I set light schedule up for garage area will motion light up the security lights when lights from schedule are off?
That hook would have made my job easier when I was installing balcony lights on a high rise thanks for the idea
Thanks you so much 😊
Does it have a backup battery in case of power outage ? (assuming router and modem has a UPS)
Thanks well done
Is the installation the same if the existing floodlight is turned on inside by a normal switch?
Where are those electricals that provide power to the light come from? I would like see where the wires from the electrical box to the light itself.
Nice. Real nice.
Very helpful. Wasn't sure I could do it. Second flood camera I've put up now
That was a great presentation. I really believe I can do it myself by watching your instructions. Thank you so much !
I just have a standard outside light operated by a switch on the wall of my home at the front and back doors. Will this still work? I do not have a flood light installed currently. But I do have 120v AC connected to the existing lights.
Thanks for showing how to setup the wiring inside thr house
My house has security lights under the eavment (eavesment?) eavments?) …uhh do you think it will be possible to mount horizontally?
That strap is really handy but if you have stucco I highly recommend a towel. I’m a perfectionist and that stucco scuffed it a little
Does it turn on and off through motion? Or can I turn it off completely whenever I want to?
my wireless router is far from the flood light. will the wifi extender work?
Thank you 🙏 😊
I have my lights mounted on my soffit will this unit work
Thank you
So the copper wire from the house house to the grounding screw and the ground wire from the light just gets capped?
how high can i install it? does it detect more than 9 feet?
Excellent video! Can i install that camera where the old bell box alarm is at the front of the house? Can I use the wires from that bell box? It's a wired alarm that i don't use and it will changed to a wireless alarm. Thank you

Watch the video, if it has similar wires it probably has the same power running to it and you can use it.
I would recommend putting electric tape around them caps after you attache them . Just to make sure wires don’t touch

They won’t. That’s what the wire nuts are for. They act as an electrical tape replacement.
I took down a ring spot light that now I wish to re install. It’s asking me to scan a cube that I don’t have. Is there any way to reinstall it
Is this floodlight motion activated? My existing floodlight is on a switch, so if I put a ring doorbell there will the switch need to constantly be on? Will that mean the lights are always on?
Got my device setup. I see the lights are either on all the time or not at all. The motion sensor is working. But I want the light to come in if someone walks in front of it. Advice is settings?
How high from the ground can this be installed?

I need this on the side of my home but I'm afraid the neighbors movements will activate it. How accurate if any are the adjustments to prevent this?
What if the old floodlight had no ground wire attached??? I didn't see no copper wire either from the junction box
I don't have a flood light installation setup. I have a regular hard wired camera that is useless. How do you install the flood light camera?
The Set up and Activation is more complicated than necessary!
Do you have to turn off juice or can you carefully install with protective needle nose plyers as long as you dont cross/touch the opposite wires?

TURN POWER OFF. Also don't trust that the power is off by doing what he said. Both if your bulbs could have went out even if you just checked them. You should get a voltage test pin to verify the power is off. They are not very expensive and could save you life.

Not electrician here , you went little fast on ground wire, so the ground from house goes around the green screw on plate then connects to the ground from spotlight? Tia
"Honestly better than the one that was already here." Makes sense, it costs 10x as much as the old one. Lets see if the ring floodlight is still around in 20 years like the old one-- I don't have high hopes.
