    I like a video like this because I watch other videos, to set it up, but they don’t quite help because they’re taking out the flood lights and that’s not really the one I’m looking for, but thank God I found this video the one I’ve been looking for

    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.

      Oh good to know! We have an electrician coming to install the Pro to replace the traditional floodlight for $195, but that spot is next to the porch door, which is not too high above ground. I'm a bit concerned that intruders can just reach it and remove 😅. We'd want to install it higher, but now that I bet the electrician cost would be twice as high 😅🙃🤑.

    You were quite confident with what you did to have started screwing everything in place before testing.
    Since this is a tutorial, you should let people know to test to make sure everything works before screwing everything sealed.

      @@GreatLaker69 More of a building code violation than illegal, he's not going to get arrested or anything lol. One thing for sure is that he has romex wire on the surface of a wall. Romex is not to be surface mounted along a wall, you would need THHN wire and run conduit along the wall, other wise open up a few more holes in the wall to run the romex through then patch the holes afterwards.
