Jeff. Thanks a million for this step-by-step! I had installed a doorbell cam before but I was a little leery of having to drill through the garage wall. Your tutorial broke down all the necessary prep so I was more than confident I could get this done. Much appreciated good sir. I read another review of the Spotlight that mentioned that you lose some range [distance] of visibility at night when the spotlight comes on vs just using the cams infrared, so I taped over the lights and I can see all the way out to my gate at the other end of the driveway.
Great video and answered my main questions. 1/ does not use an adapter, but an AC plug. 2/ the ability to temporarily remove the cord from the camera body for through-hole installation. Thank you!
I was looking for this type of solution to install my Ring camera outside, on top of my garage door. This is a great video that resolved my problem and alleviated all my concerns. KUDOS! Excellent job showing us to DIY!
Great video, I was concerned about feeding the thick cable through a wall. Disconnecting it from the base was a simple solution that most people just over look
I had the same question and not sure if I would have thought of that. Another solution is to cut off the male electrical plug and replace. Or cut the electrical wire and splice. This plug/splice is not as exposed to the weather. The silicon on wire into the base was very thick/stiff and is exposed in the weather. Messing with that may allow moisture into the base and those electrical connections.
This is what I’m looking for. Thanks for sharing your great idea. I was gonna install the camera to our new house but I was hesitant to cut the cord or make a bigger hole to fit the cord end... and then I saw this.. now I’m fan of yours haha God bless you brother!
Not gonna lie......this is an AWESOME video on installation and adjusting the motion zones. Now I have Ring floodlight cam in the backyard, spotlight cam on the front porch. Good start! Now I just need some drones to patrol the area 😁😁😁😁
I don't think that any other reviewer has indicated that the AC power cord could be removed like this. I was contemplating the battery version but I think that AC power is the way to go if you can. Thanks for sharing 🇬🇧
Great Video! I wish all videos were this good. I have some Qs. 1. I plan on drilling from the outside of the house and not the inside. Any concerns? 2. What kind of caulk do you use? 3. What kind of drill do I need for this? 4. Do I drill into the brick or mortar? Does it matter? 5. Not a question but please use a N95 mask when doing this. Drilling into brick is hazardous is what I read. Thanks again for this video.
Great instructional video. I will be installing my cam soon. (I just purchased it tonight. Must have been returned by someone as it came without an instruction manual and ring sticker, but as long as it works and is not damaged, It should be ok. Thank you for the tutorial. Great job! One small thing, I’m an optician and have seen numerous patients over the years with permanent eye injuries from not wearing protective eyewear while drilling brick and etc... I would recommend using some kind of eyewear protection during the process. Just my two cents. Thanks again!
Amazing tutorial! I was about ready to do the cutting wire method from a different video and saw you comment on that video about that being unnecessary. Thank you!
Informative and thorough video regarding going through the wall which I want to do for a clean install, now I don't have to hire someone to do it for me. Thank you for this phenomenal video!!!!
Thanks Jeff for your very nice clear and helpful explanation to install the ring spotlight cam, I'll receive mine tomorrow, so I'll follow the step as you explained. Many thanks from Quimper (France)
I watched your video & now I know I don’t need an outside plug. That made uncomfortable as far as someone unplugging it, etc. I can feed it thru the garage wall! Nice! Good to know I can turn those lights off & on, too! Thanks, Jeff. You’ve answered all my questions. I’ll be adding this to my Ring network soon!
Debating on getting 2-4 cameras. I need one for the front and back yard. Front of house faces north, south side gets back sun exposure. However, I live in MI and it gets -30F in the winter and no sun. I have outlets outside. Suggestions on a brand or brands that would work for my concerns. No lag between movements, leaves blowing creating false alerts, sunlight making the camera unable to see. I'd prefer not drilling holes through my home or walls but ideally no batteries to change outside etc.
Hi watched your video after buying a Ring wired spotlight. Very informative and thorough. I successfully installed my spotlight following your video. Excellent..
This was helpful!! I was a bit hesitant with drilling the hole but im just going through a wood. I should be ok. Thank you sir for posting this helpful video 👍🏼
Thank you for taking the time to produce the Ring wired camera setup and installation. It was well done, step by step, clear audio and video. Once again, thank you.
Thanks for doing the video. Truth be told, when I was wiring the two power cord wires, I broke the terminals on one of them. Thanks to Ring, in that they sent me a replacement unit at no charge.
When I read Bob's comment here I made sure I was extra careful & even used a pair of needle nose pliers to loosen those tiny screws a bit first before using the precision screwdrivers. Thanks Jeff - Thanks Bob!
That was interesting. I already have a mains light , above the door that I want watched. I intend to remove my very old light and replace it with that camera model. Can the cord be cut and stripped to shorten that long lead ? What is the steepest angle of tilt that the camera allows. Was yours set at the steepest angle ..
Going does this as to not void the warranty as I would do if I cut off the moulded plug. What size masonry drill be do you need for the cable to pass through the wall?
Thank you, excellent job.i was going to purchase the battery camera, thanks to you I will be returning to and purchase the wired camera. Thank you again.
Thanks! Yes most people want something faster so they cut the plug off but if you are ever changing the unit or selling the old unit no one wants a cut plug for sure. I appreciate the support!
@@JeffLepard hi @jeff so it is possible to shorten the wire from the same end you show in the video? my plug is only 4' from the camera and i have about 15' of extra cable that i don't really want hanging around.
Have you any tips/ideas about fitting the ring stick up cam wired outdoors please? Same scenario as this. On a garage where the power is inside. Thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you I’m interested in getting one snd and your video has helped me understand the proses ring do a different flood light that isn’t wired would the wire of this one in this video work with it thank you for your time
Awesome Jeff I was going to return the camera to the store tomorrow because of this stupid plug. My setup is exactly the same as yours. Thanks to you I will keep the camera and be able to install it. Thank you sir
Thanks man for this vid. I am getting ready to have to do same thing on front side of my house with no power point. Already installed the Floodlight at garage replacing old light.
I have the Ring Floodlight Cam as well as the Doorbell Pro 2. I'm getting the Ring Spotlight Cams, will I be able to have it face to the right about 70 degrees? I'm placing it on a wall outside my garage and want it to face the front door.
It was a long shot that someone would be looking for the same thing and I didn't think anyone would be doing what I did. I guess some people have! Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Jeff, Upon removing the interior screws from the black and white wires, I dropped and lost one of those tiny black screws, any idea where I can get a replacement ??
Fantastic video! But Think I’ll be cutting off original plug to feed through the wall and replace with a new one as it seems from the comments that a lot of tiny screws get dropped and it’s a bit fiddly ….. wish me luck 🍀
Have question can I convert my wired ring to wireless by adding a rechargeable battery. I had a wireless few years back by accident I ordered a wired cam . Also I remember having pay for a ring membership
Great Video, i've Just set up the Ring V2 doorbell connecting it to a Solar Panel for charging. Now after you video it's time for the Security Camera (Wired) Installation.
Thank you for the video! Just installed mine and thanks to your video everything went smoothly including disconnecting the power cord from the camera and reconnecting after fishing it through the front of my garage.
Great video!! very EZ to follow, just ordered my Spotlight Cam. I started with a Ring wired doorbell and really liked the motion aspect of anyone approaching my front porch..started looking farther into Ring products and found this light and cam all activated with motion...with your info video ,I will install this bad boy at my back door!!! No body is going to sneak up on me!!Thanks Tc from Nevada PS does anyone know if during daylight and motion activates the cam, do the lights come on to..
I need someone to answer this question: What’s stopping you from drilling a hole in that mounting plate and on the back portion of the camera where it slides onto the plate in order to run the wires directly into it from there? This would eliminate the wire being seek from the outside. I’m looking to install this soon and was thinking I was going to do it the way I mentioned. Looking forward to hearing thoughts, thanks!
Likely water ingress. He should really put silicone sealer around the port where the power cord exits too and on either side of the garage wall hole. I’m tempted to do this but my worry is it’s not up to NEC and should home catch fire, insurance may void coverage if this was found to be point of ignition inside the wall (not so much here with brick but if it’s a wood wall with drywall, maybe more of a concern)
Thanks for the great video! Followed your lead/video and now I have Ring Wired Camera (I didn't want to deal with batteries) above my garage without the fear of someone unplugging it!
QUESTION: So, is it possible to replace the wired light on my back patio with this spotlight cam by removing the attached wire as you did and then attaching the wires right from the house to the Ring spotlight cam?
Thank you for making this vid. I was trying to figure out how to route the power wires on mine, but never figured to disassemble it the way you did - and it’s perfect 👍🏽
Great detailed video. Was planning to get one but wonder re the brightness of the light. Would it light a small back yard or more for a patio location ? Thanks
Hey Jeff, I'd really like to do this but I am concerned about running a flexible power cable through the wall. I have heard this violates the NEC Have you heard the same?
Thank you so much for this very well put together video. I have the same issue and was wondering how to install the camera without a plug outside. Very helpful, thank you again.
i cant remember the screw size but I have been asked this question a few times so for future videos i will make it a point to mention what size I am working with! Thanks so much for watching!
Hey Jeff - how long is that power cord? I'm looking to plug it in to the outlet on my garage ceiling (that's also used for my garage door opener)... and hoping it will reach.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am planning to do this soon. I didn't catch if you mentioned the cable length? The nearest plug to my install point is a little ways off and I am wondering if it will be long enough. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for watching. I don't think I did mention the length but I know that cord was very long! The cord was at least 20-25'. Hopefully that will do for you otherwise you could just use an extension cord.
Looks like on the most current wired cameras there is some black sealant on the wires. Mine had it so I put a dab of silicone on it after I did my wire routing
Great installation video. Ring should have allowed for the power cord to exit directly out the back plate, however, to allow for a cleaner and more professional install and to prevent tampering with the power supply. Not your fault just a design flaw.
Thank you for this great video. I am getting my camera tomorrow and it's a great feeling having the knowledge of how getting it done the proper way. Muchas gracias.
What size precision screwdriver did you use to unscrew the power wires? I’m having real trouble doing it because they’re so small but I really don’t want to have to cut the plug off as an alternative.
That's a good question I didn't mention that in the video. It was one of the few small screwdrivers you would have to use. Definitely any of the small kits would have the right size.

Why do they call it a wired cam when it requires no wire splicing? This is just a plug in (wired) spotlight cam then. 🤨
Jeff. Thanks a million for this step-by-step! I had installed a doorbell cam before but I was a little leery of having to drill through the garage wall. Your tutorial broke down all the necessary prep so I was more than confident I could get this done. Much appreciated good sir.

Jeff, this is one of the best and most informative Ring hard-wired installation videos on the internet. Great job!
Definition of a complete comprehensive video! Much appreciated and very thorough
Great video and answered my main questions. 1/ does not use an adapter, but an AC plug. 2/ the ability to temporarily remove the cord from the camera body for through-hole installation. Thank you!

If I don’t want to use an outlet and instead hardwire it to what was once an outdoor light fixture can I just cut the wire and hardwire it?
Not gonna lie......this is an AWESOME video on installation and adjusting the motion zones. Now I have Ring floodlight cam in the backyard, spotlight cam on the front porch. Good start! Now I just need some drones to patrol the area
😁😁😁😁
Did not know you could free up the power cord by removing the back plate. Was hesitant to buy, but not now. Excellent video. A-
I don't think that any other reviewer has indicated that the AC power cord could be removed like this.
I was contemplating the battery version but I think that AC power is the way to go if you can. Thanks for sharing 🇬🇧
Was it not possible to drill the whole for electricity right underneath the camera? The white electrical wire is an eye sore
Great Video! I wish all videos were this good. I have some Qs.
1. I plan on drilling from the outside of the house and not the inside. Any concerns?
2. What kind of caulk do you use?
3. What kind of drill do I need for this?
4. Do I drill into the brick or mortar? Does it matter?
5. Not a question but please use a N95 mask when doing this. Drilling into brick is hazardous is what I read.
Thanks again for this video.
I sincerely couldn’t ask for a better installation tutorial - thank you so much Jeff!
Great instructional video. I will be installing my cam soon. (I just purchased it tonight. Must have been returned by someone as it came without an instruction manual and ring sticker, but as long as it works and is not damaged, It should be ok. Thank you for the tutorial. Great job! One small thing, I’m an optician and have seen numerous patients over the years with permanent eye injuries from not wearing protective eyewear while drilling brick and etc...

At the 14:57 mark you are attaching the camera to the camera mount. when did you separate them? How did you separate the pieces?
Do you happen to have a video with the instalation of the flood light hardwired cameras?

Great job!!! You really helped by showing all of the features and install.
Glad it was helpful!
Is there any way to recoed the footage without using cloud ( paid subscription) ?
With Ring...and Covid...you're always home.
Isn't that the truth with everything closerd!
LOL
LOL. :-)

Great Video. Nice design on the Ring so you can disconnect easily. So many things are soldered/hardwired inside. This looks like a dream
Exactly what I was searching for. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
I just wanted to know if you could adjust the angle, but he never does it.
Best unboxing review and how to setup! I don’t know how this hasn’t got a million view ring owners 😭
Thanks jeff. One question. The black screw broke. Any idea what size it is? Ring was of no help
That was interesting. I already have a mains light , above the door that I want watched. I intend to remove my very old light and replace it with that camera model. Can the cord be cut and stripped to shorten that long lead ? What is the steepest angle of tilt that the camera allows. Was yours set at the steepest angle ..

You should hide the power cord behind the mount
Going does this as to not void the warranty as I would do if I cut off the moulded plug. What size masonry drill be do you need for the cable to pass through the wall?
Thank you, excellent job.i was going to purchase the battery camera, thanks to you I will be returning to and purchase the wired camera. Thank you again.
Excellent video sir . All the other videos have shown people cutting the plug off but yours has shown there a better way . Well done and thankyou !!

Thank you! Cheers!
Does this thru the wall installation with a cord meet electrical codes?
Thanks for the video. Been trying to find info on the possibility of having the wire run inside like you did but couldn’t find nothing. Thanks again!

Dod you get this version of the camera or the new usbc one?
having two batterys installed do they drain equally or one dies off first?
BIG THANK YOU!. Was terribly worried about the cable going through the wall. All good now thank you!.
Have question can I convert my wired ring to wireless by adding a rechargeable battery. I had a wireless few years back by accident I ordered a wired cam . Also I remember having pay for a ring membership
Just finished installing my ring camera utilizing this tutorial. Thank you so much for this! Extremely helpful!
Can you cut the cable to put it through a wall? Anyone know?
Great Video, i've Just set up the Ring V2 doorbell connecting it to a Solar Panel for charging. Now after you video it's time for the Security Camera (Wired) Installation.
What size masonry bit to make the hole for the power wire?
Thanks for that! Wasn't sure I wanted to drill that big of a hole...thanks for showing the better way
You bring in so many good stuff Jeff!, too bad I don't need to install a camera, I would buy this one!
Thanks so much for the continued support! Yeah I love the ring products I will be putting up the Ring Alarm video very soon as well.
Thank you for the video! Just installed mine and thanks to your video everything went smoothly including disconnecting the power cord from the camera and reconnecting after fishing it through the front of my garage.
Perfect video! Was looking for this and you explained it and showed everything.
Excellent I'm happy that helped you out! Thanks so much for watching!
Great video. Removal of the plug was explained very well. Thanks!
what was the thing you used to keep the chord in place? where did you get them.. ?
Those actually came with the camera they were wire tie downs. Extras are available almost at any depot store with an electrical department.
Do you know what the screw you tightened @12:39 is called? Trying to get a replacement..
Is it NEC code running that cord through a wall?
Hi Jeff, thanks a million for this incredibly helpful video. Even Ring didint provide like this helpful technical information

QUESTION: So, is it possible to replace the wired light on my back patio with this spotlight cam by removing the attached wire as you did and then attaching the wires right from the house to the Ring spotlight cam?
Technically yes you could do that. Most people wouldn't go through the trouble of doing so but you could do that.
Can the LEDs in this cam be turned off and/or set to only turn on when motion is detected?
so i have to follow the update processes for each camera at a time ?
Great instructional video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this thorough and straight forward tutorial. Now I don't have to spend those costly installation fees.
Thank you for making this vid. I was trying to figure out how to route the power wires on mine, but never figured to disassemble it the way you did - and it’s perfect 👍🏽
Just got one from a friend and will be installing it. Guess I need the mounting kit you mentioned during the video.
Great detailed video. Was planning to get one but wonder re the brightness of the light. Would it light a small back yard or more for a patio location ? Thanks
The light for sure would light up a patio or backyard. The floodlight camera is a bit more brighter for sure since there are 2 lights.
Always great videos. Clear, concise, and to the point. Thank you.
Hey Jeff, I'd really like to do this but I am concerned about running a flexible power cable through the wall. I have heard this violates the NEC
Have you heard the same?
I will look into that. Otherwise you can run it through a conduit I guess.
@@JeffLepard Sounds good! And I am considering that option
@@JeffLepard Did you ever find out? Thanks!
This was exactly the video I needed. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this very well put together video. I have the same issue and was wondering how to install the camera without a plug outside. Very helpful, thank you again.
jeff is there a screw that tightens up against the base that you need to loosen to slide off main bracket, if so what size screwdriver is it? thanks
i cant remember the screw size but I have been asked this question a few times so for future videos i will make it a point to mention what size I am working with! Thanks so much for watching!
How did you get the plug through that hole
Outstanding video. Answered all of questions in one place. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for Watching!
Hey Jeff - how long is that power cord? I'm looking to plug it in to the outlet on my garage ceiling (that's also used for my garage door opener)... and hoping it will reach.
Hey Jeff, will a 3/8” bit work?
Or is 1/2” minimum required, to fit that cord through?
It plug in wall plug? Wire length is enough? Tks
The wire is very long and is plugged into the wall. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Every question I had about this camera you just answered.
I like the product. However I want to install the security cam on a rental property where I do not have my own internet connection.
Best ideas?
thank you, im getting mine a few days with the ring alarm and this gave me an idea of waht to do
Thanks so much for watching! Hope it helps!
this is so great. better information than the Ring provides. thank you!
