    Thank you so much for sharing your skills. You actually answer my question. I'm a DIY type of person and obviously love TH-cam. We just bought our floodlight Camara ring pro. And I didn't want to use an electrician to install my lights. So I was thinking that I could used a 3 prong extension cord to avoid a junction box. So I found your video and it will be done! 🙏

      If you have the Ring floodlight cam, they actually made their own mount which is more low profile -> th-cam.com/video/g9va18jfA7s/w-d-xo.html

    I have been doing this for several yrs now..you can also use caulk to seal around/behind the floodlight base to the junction box and this also works great drilling through and outside wall to the inside wall to plug to a indoor outlet so u can mount floodlights anywhere around your house..
    Fyi: Home Depot and lowes sell the power cord already per cut and stripped...

    I was planning on helping out a neighbor with there camera but I didn't know they bought the nest flood light cameras and where they wanted it they had no light but they had outside outlets near both, told them they needed a electrician to tap off the outlets, but i can definitely do this and if they want, like someone mentioned in the comments section you can drill a small whole in the wall and plug it inside the house to just like i was planning on doing with the nest outdoor camera in the first place..Thanks again

    I'm not a electrician but i would recommend 1/2 in. ACC Non-Metallic Strain Relief Cord Connector and if want it even better 100% silicone. Since you should not zip tie or compress wires. They get hot and need the little room to disapate heat.
    But if doing it the way of video. I would use 100% silicone to help it stay water tite. Since he is strapping cable she not move with the ziptie inside. Just a recommendation.
    P.S. your review is what had me order a wyze floodlight & v3 to attach to it. I already had a v3 for over a week because of your reviews. Had to get floodlight and a 2nd v3. Unfortunately the floodlight needs replaced since connection died after one week. But floodlight sensor still worked like a ret floodlight. I got the $1.25 a month plan paid for a year for each camera.
    Thanks keep great work up!
    Ps this from a person who ran 12/2 bx wire from electrical box to its own 20amp breaker connected to a AFCI/GFCI outlet. When the bx was run up to hole drilled in sink. I ran EMT to run bx through. So as you can see I over did safety.
    I would of got the AFCI/GFCI breaker but then I would have had to change them all to that which would of taking the grandfathered away. Would have been way too costly to replace all my breakers. Heck the outlet alone was like $35. 🤣

    Can you just drill a small enough hole behind the junction box and assuming the outlet inside the home/garage is close to the exterior, plug it in there? That way there are no exposed wires that someone can just cut. Seal both ends of the openings with chalk or putty around the wire to prevent any moisture buildup.

      It is a bit complicated but usually ISPs have combo modem and router which you pay a monthly rent for. If you want to go with the alarm pro, then you might want to downgrade to just a modem from your ISP, buy your own modem that is compatible with your ISP and cancel the one from your internet provider. You can also change the router settings on your ISPs provider to bridge mode. If you already have the ring alarm, then my recommendation is not to upgrade until 2025 where we will be forced to pay the new pricing.

    Can not find metal bracket you connect ground wire to, with small female threading in center. Also is Copper and Aluminum wire safe?

    Hi! Does this tip also works for Wyze Floodlight Pro? Thank you.

    What do I do with the green wire from the 3prong extension cord? I'm not sure if u just mounted and screwed it on that bracket or is it okay to electric tape it off?

    I really don't think this installation is against any codes. But I'm confused, why there is even a ground to the Floodlight, when it's not really a 120volt light?

      That is from the instructions on the wyze cam floodlight..also with the nest floodlight..they want us to screw in the ground wire to the metal bracket.

      @@LifeHackster yet that bracket isn't attached to any metal on the floodlight. So I'm thinking they want it connected to the bracket so it's out of the way. It could just as easily be rolled up and pushed back into the box.

      Plus they can unplug it or if you use the plug lock they can just cut the wire

    With the Ring wired floods pro, do I need the typical 25v transformer as used with the doorbell. I’m guessing not being we’re running typical floods light. Also does the pro come with a pancake type mounting box or do I supply that?
    Thanks and great videos
