1 thing I noticed is that you could drill the hole in the wall and pass the wire directly through the hole in the mounting bracket so that the wiring is hidden behind the camera.
This specific mount purposefully dumps the wire out the bottom. For you to do what you are wanting to do, you'd need to drill through and modify the mount itself. The reason they are routing the wire this way is (1) end user versatility/modularity/capability and (2) its an added strain relief for the wiring.
@@thetexan4192 incorrect… I have the same set up as this video. I bought a Ring floodlight cam pro (wired) and the separate mount with the 20 ft cord. I was able to drill a single hole on my exterior wall and place the mount directly over the hole and pass the wire through (after detaching the wire by removing the two screws and the plastic piece holding the wire affixed as in this video). I didn’t have to drill any additional holes in the mount. As you see in the video (starting at 0:44) when he removes the wire, when I went to mount it, I just fed the wire through the hole in the wall and then back through the hole in the mounting bracket and reattached it.
I think he did this because he didn’t want to drill through the wood beam which was centered. So he drilled a hole off to the side and ran the wire up. That’s what I think anyway.
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.
Thanks. I wish Home Depot would have told me I needed this mounting pack to convert to a plug in. Another trip back to the orange place. Any case you served me a lot of work. Big thanks.
Thanks for showing us how you install. I wanted to buy the ring flood camera plus plug in. Would I have to buy the bracket kit separately? Do the flood cameras not come with the actual plug with bracket? I was not able to find to much info on the details section before purchasing. And do you notice any difference between a plug in security device vs wired? I don't have the wired option in the area of the outside I would like to place it on.
You don’t have to get this bracket but it makes it easier and more cost effective if you are using a plug. If the plug is near by you can by a plug extension which would be cheaper than this bracket and plug
Referring to my comment before wondering if you still need a junction box to house the wire nuts and connections. There's just no room for them I just bought two of these for my work
Whats the plug cord length that comes w Ring Floodlight CAM Plug-In ? Amazon nor my local electronics store both sell online have no mention length cord. I assumed Plug In cord Floodlight came with yours? I googled how long I recd AD buy the separate Ring Plug $19.99 20 ft length. Im replacing old light thats a plug in use the garage door openers plug It may not reach
can you move the camera without everything being powered on? I need to reposition it to go back in the box and I don't want to break anything if you can't move it without power
The wire shouldn't be showing! That's why there's a large hole in the mounting ring for it to enter through from behind! You didn't need to drill a hole to the side of the mount, that's just ugly and unnecessary.
You could've fed the cable through the mount making the install centered and flush instead it looks like 💩 I hope this is your property and you weren't hired because I'd be irritated seeing that cable coming from the bottom if it didn't have to.
Ppl really need to stop making how to videos 😂😂😂😂 god this was raising my anxiety too much all you had to do was drill the hole behind the bracket so the wire isn’t exposed my god what a sloppy mess.
