you are so helpful ... I think letting my family watch this we can fix the problem ... Thank you for walking us through this step by step to the end ...
Most helpful, thank you. We have a Floodlight Cam that died on us. Ring sent us a Wired Plus replacement. They don't make the Floodlight Cams anymore. I haven't got the replacement installed yet because I was not able to get the wing nuts off the original installation - they were not the screw-on type, but rather a rigid plastic crimp-on assembly. Probably a better choice for a wet climate. Per another video, I will probably have to cut them off. That aside, the mounting bracket installation component was not entirely clear to me but your video resolved that issue.
So far I only have one of the 5 up. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe My son ran out of time, with motion detector etc. I have it over my garage door. It works great. Have seen a couple of cats, my dogs, when I am out front. And had a bee buzzing around right in front of it. It works very well. It even shows the neighbour's driveway, but only shows movement just past my own, which is very long. I highly recommend them.
Nice video with clear instructions. I don’t have a junction box so I used the Ring plug in adapter ($20 on Amazon). Just need to run the 20’ cord to an outlet in my garage.
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.
This video would be great for homes that are wired with that yellow wire that has the three wires inside of them. I have an older home that only has a white and red wire so how would i install a ring that has three wires to my home that has two wires?
We inherited our RING floodlight camera when we moved so we don’t have the manual with the QR code. Would be lovely to see a video where the QR code is located on device itself. I haven’t found a single install video yet that can help us.
I don't have any junction box on my wall. So how to instal brand new one like this. If i order do i need to have a camera set up before?. Am so upset as i have watched so many videos and haven't found any which helps me to instal new one on the brand new wall.
Hi, I found your video very informative. You explain the installation process to an existing recessed junction box but I notice what appears to be a small cut out in the moulded base which suggests that this can also be flush mounted and powered via a surface run cable which enters at the base. Is this correct? I ask because I don't have a recessed junction box as it is not a common feature here 🇬🇧. Many thanks. Update: I took a chance on the ring wired floodlight cam plus while on offer & and can confirm that the UK version does have a recess to allow it to be powered from a cable (flex) at the 6 o'clock position. Max 10mm dia cable.
@@craigbrooks9001 I couldn't find a surface mounted JB that was large enough to take the diameter of the base but small enough to fit on a gutter facia. I could not find a round JB but could find a square one bur it was too large to fit where I wanted to locate. Anyway, a JB wasn't necessary when I realised that the ring base was designed to accept a cable entry at the 6 o'clock position.
@@craigbrooks9001 Yes, but it isn't obvious from any of the ring literature or from TH-cam videos that there is a recess moulded into the base to accept an external cable rather than through an American style wall JB
@@yolandalopez52 I think the best bet would be to run Romex wire from a constant power to the fixture and just cap off old wire . I’m going to try it tomorrow will let you know how it goes
Can this light be turned on for an extended period of time or does it only come on with motion? Right now I have a flood light I keep on all night and it is on a switch.
Hello, how much lag time does your camera have before you can see the video? I'm thinking maybe a wired type camera like that would maybe be instant image load when you open your phone. I use driveway sensors to quickly alert me to motions, but I have to wait 15 or 20 seconds sometimes before my phone loads whatever triggered them. That's just enough time to miss whatever it was. I'm using another brand of wireless camera that I'm not to happy with when it comes to alerting me.
What do you do to stop the lights of vehicles driving passed from activating the light to turn on? Walking passed at that distance doesn't set them off so it is purely the car lights that set it off ALLLLLLLLLL night. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
I’m not the video creator here, but I am somewhat familiar with Ring. I would call their customer service. Their customer service is very helpful with questions.
There is a sensitivity setting. You can limit it to a the area you want to have covered. As well as it’s sensitivity to movement. You also have the option to disable the light feature

Thanks for the video just got one of these for christmas today. Will be installing this later when it warms up.

Make sure you lock your breaker panel too. It would be easy to switch that breaker off and render your camera useless
Got a pro and plus to put up today. Thanks for the help!

hi m8 did you need a surface mounted junction box to mount it to the wall in the uk ?

@@allanb2906 yeah m8 i’ve seen that the junction box is only required for the usa

How did the set up go on the wifi connection? Roku was very user unfriendly
What do you do if your switch controls porch light and over garage light then when I cut off light switch in the morning won’t it turn off camera?
I have the same question
@@yolandalopez52 I think the best bet would be to run Romex wire from a constant power to the fixture and just cap off old wire . I’m going to try it tomorrow will let you know how it goes
the easiest way would be to take the switch out connect the light leg and hot wire and either put the switch back in as a dummy or put a blank plate
how do you know which wire is the ground wire?
Hmm 🤔 my concern is on an old system of wiring the ground isn’t clear. There is a naked copper wire do I attach ground to that?
Did you ever figure that out? Dealing with that problem currently
Hint: Never force a screw clockwise, if it doesn’t turn easily, it’s the wrong size. Try another screw.
how can you link this camera to your tv if you wanna see it on your tv please?
I like your jacket dude, what brand or link please and thanks!
Where can I buy that blue mounting base😆
Is this blue box necessary?
Can this light be turned on for an extended period of time or does it only come on with motion? Right now I have a flood light I keep on all night and it is on a switch.
Yes there is. In the ring application you can control the light and alarm feature.
I’m inside waiting for him to enter. 😂 like Macaulay Culkin

It’s practically instant.

Set the device up to only recognize people walking then you won't get car alerts

dont understand, how did you install in the wall? drill a big hole for the box?
The box was already there, or you'll have to surface mount the box. They have weatherproof 4" electrical junction boxes for sconces at home depot
What is the blue box called?
4" Electrical junction box for sconces
Use Wago connectors. Way easier.
Fyi..if your making a video ..don't assume people already know. For example... the wire your using...smh
Botched job...
Super useless the setup doesn’t work it won’t connect to wifi
