By far…the absolute best video instruction for exactly what I needed to install this. You have taught so many so much! Incredibly detailed and organized. You are AMAZING brother and I am so SO happy I found your page. Please keep making these much needed videos and content.
EXCELLENT instructional video. Exactly what I was looking...this video now gives me the confidence to install the ring floodlight myself. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Good video. I enjoyed the long form. Not gonna be a cabron pero, mijo. Dos cosas 1. From what i noticed, you either didnt( or didnt explain) removing the wire from the recep that you initially cut when resplicing the wires in the attic. Harry homeowner wont even bother and have hot exposed connections sticking out the back of his outlet and wonder why his shit keeps tripping or blasting him 2. You used the orange wire nuts that came with the light. Sure theyre UL listed and fine but might as well just use tans or your red tans. On any job ive ever been on, the orange nuts immediately go in the trash. Unless were using em to cap a dead circuit or just grounds. Wasnt shitting on you or nitpicking too hard, as i enjoyed coming along for the ride in this video. And your "apprentice" seemed helpful, but green ha. Good shit, compa. Im subbing and gonna keep an eye out for more vids Sorry for the novel. Be safe out there
I have a double gang light switch feeding the old floodlight above the rear entry... I'm tempted to just keep using the switch but have to basically keep it in the on position all the time hahaha ...
You can do that or 1. You can take the 2 wires off the switch, wire nut them together to have constant power & put the existing switchback as a “dummy switch” 2. You can take the 2 wires off the switch, wire nut them together to have constant power & remove the old switch install a blank on the existing cover.
don't you love that the Ring base is bigger than the outdoor box you should have put a seal tight connector on the back side of the box and seal those screw plugs up
If the circuit is on a 15amp breaker you want to use 14awg romex. (14/2 - white romex) If you have a 20amp breaker you want to use 12awg wire. (12/2 - yellow romex)
Hi Sparky Izzy, great video. I'm about to install a Ring Spotlight Pro (wired) at my mom's house. Rather than use the outdoor outlet, I'd like to pick-up power from an existing porch light about 15' away. From what I've read, it seems as though I should use that 14/2 Romex and run it behind the siding, obviously waterproof. Thoughts, am I on the right track? Thanks!
I wouldn’t recommend this. If you connect to the existing porch light, everytime the porch light gets turned off …. The Ring Spotlight Pro camera will turn off. You want all security cameras to have constant power, no switches.
@@sparky_izzy I should have been more clear. I plan to switch the porch light bulb to a smart bulb on a scheduled on/off. The switch will always remain in the ON position providing constant power to the security device but the bulb will toggle on/off based on the times that I establish within the app.
@spea111 okay then you should be fine. When you say behind the siding, I would imagine you mean behind the wall in between the wall studs. If so, you are on the correct path 👍🏽

Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful detailed step by step explanation for how to install the floodlight cam. Thank you!

Best video I've seen, very detailed and easy to follow. Well done sir. I feel much more comfortable hooking one of these bad boys up.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the detailed video on the circuit box and wiring. Very helpful.
Nice job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Nice job, Bro!! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing!
Very informative bro! 🙌🏽
Elite video.... Wish I had the skill to do this.
Thank you.
Great job explaining. Lol your lucky to already have an outlet I’m not so lucky.
This was just the best and I'm going to follow your instructions! If I don't get electrocuted, I'll let you know how it went......;). Thanks.

@sparky_izzy thank you for the ideas that would be a better solution
Will it still work without the ground wire?
don't you love that the Ring base is bigger than the outdoor box you should have put a seal tight connector on the back side of the box and seal those screw plugs up
would you mind sharing about how much you’d charge for this? thank you!
Great question. If I hired a electrician or handy man I would like to know the average cost
Do it yourself . Why do yoh even watch UA-cam ?
Question, how do I know if I have a 15 or 20 Amp? I'm installing to my garage door outlet.
If the circuit is on a 15amp breaker you want to use 14awg romex. (14/2 - white romex)
If you have a 20amp breaker you want to use 12awg wire. (12/2 - yellow romex)

@@sparky_izzy Hello ... behind the exterior siding. Between the siding and plywood on the outside of the house. Not on the inside, between studs.
@spea111 yeah that’s not up to code: It would need to be behind the wall or over the siding installed in conduit.
I now know where I went wrong; I didn’t have a little helper to read the instructions to me😊😅
Wouldn't it be better to install it under the eave?
You can do either or. I have since added a roof deflector to allow the flow of rain water to the left & right of the fixture.
No roof drippage??
I have since added a piece to block the water
Eufy .. Better and no monthly fee ...
