You don’t need to cut the wires. You should have removed the mount plate that covers the wires. Next, unscrew the wires, remove the harness, run your wiring through the wall, then reconnect the wiring.
Very unsafe method reattaching the wires after you cut it with just using electrical tape. This is 120v live power, not low voltage, deadly amount of current. That kind of tape can easily get brittle over the years and unravel over time, or someone could tug and pull on it and it would completely come apart, electrocuting them. Moisture can also seep in with damp hands touching that thing. These wires should be soldered inline then heat shrink wrapped to completely seal it, or use a junction box with screw terminals.
I didn't know that you could easily remove the wire from the back of the camera by removing back cover of the camera. I didn't even try because I would think the cord would be soldered on.. Thanks for the information. If anyone else have remove the power cord by removing the back of the camera please let me know how simple or easy to remove the power cord that way.
@@AllTechGadgets I havent done it yet, but there is a video out there that shows how to do it. It looks pretty easy to do. you just unscrew the back. then unscrew the white and black wires, push thru the hole and then it's disconnected from the camera. Thank you for your video this was very descriptive and very helpful.
Ring comes with a pretty generous warranty plan if you subscribe (you probably do if you have a camera), opening up the camera would probably violate their coverage, but if it’s only a cut cable, even better, unscrewed camera module that you send back, probably less problems...
i completely understand what you did and why you did it but you've pulled the cable through so tight that it's almost at 90 degrees, you haven't left yourself a tiny bit of slack, over time that cable will fail..
@@AllTechGadgets It's not a matter when you installed it, your method of installation is dangerous. There isn't a legitimate electrician on the planet who would do what you did. Not to mention, most insurance companies will not cover fires caused by faulty wiring. Cutting electrical wire then securing it with electrical tape is *faulty.*
@@sneat2028You are right, at that time of the video I did not know that the back plate could be unscrew to remove the wires. So this way is my only way to do it. I should have use heatshrink too before the electrical tape. With this video on RU-vid their are other viewer like you that see the video will give better feedback and the right way to rewire the camera the correctly to feed in the wall. I see there are a lot of other advice that are correct way. I am sure that viewers will read others input and comments and see what is the best way.
It's actually illegal to cut wires and rejion them by slicing them together in the uk. But then again our household voltages are over 230. There is just no need for it.
Got one of these the other day and it works good but the front and sides are hot to the touch. Customer support ran a diagnostic and said everything shows fine. Anyone else else have this issue?
