QuestionCan the spotlight cam be wire direct to 12 gauge wire with wire nuts. I have flood lights already on the outside of the house wired to 12 gauge wire with wire nuts. O r do I need to install a ground fault outlet in the old flood light box.
Asked 6 years ago by tom.
- Answer Yes it can if you cut off the factory three prong cord leaving just a few inches. You should get the ring duel spotlight cam that can mount to any standard outside fixture box. The wires of the spotlight cam are already in the configuration you desire.

QuestionAre these cameras tied-up to the monthly plan fees as the only manner to view them? Thanks,
Asked 6 years ago by Roy2.
- Answer Without Ring Video Recording (Protect Plan), you will still receive alerts, and you’ll still get live streaming video and two-way audio, so you can see, hear and speak to guests in real-time, as the event is happening. However, if you don’t have Ring Video Recording (Protect Plan) and you miss an alert or a live event, you will not be able to review the video. Ring Video Recording (Protect Plan) will save all of your recordings to your Ring account for up to 60 days, and with Ring Video Recording, you can also review the videos, download them to local storage, and share them via social media, text and email. Hope this helps...

QuestionHi. Can you remove the wire from the spotlight wired cam so you can feed it through a small hole in the wall so it can be plugged inside the house? Very confused with this as I read a previous post regarding removing a brick.
Asked 6 years ago by Dharms.
- Answer I removed the cord from the camera. It’s not a big deal. You just need very small screwdriver. I used a knife. Then I drilled a half inch hole through the wall and fed it through from my basement. Then reattached it and attached camera to outside wall. But yes, if they notice that you opened it, it probably will void the warranty.

QuestionCan the "Ring - Spotlight Cam Wired" be mounted horizontally on the underside of a house soffit.... like most ranch houses have? NOTE: The Ring floodlight cam is made to be mounted on vertical surfaces.
Asked 6 years ago by BelieveUME.
- Answer It’s not suppose to be, but I did it and it works great! At first the tilt looks strange (like it’s pointed downward too much), but when you view the camera via the app, the picture looks perfect (not too tilted).

QuestionCan the electrical cable on the Ring Spotlight camera - Wired, be run through a wall to plug into an outlet inside the house? Is the cable in-wall certified? Where can I find the spec that officially states so?
Asked 6 years ago by nikeman.
- Answer I have my corded spotlight cam over my garage. I drilled a hole in the wall, and dropped the cord into my attic, and through the popcorn ceiling in the garage to plug it into the same outlet as the garage door opener. Not sure if it is certified, but it’s exactly what I needed to do.

Asked 6 years ago by Ringo.
- Answer Hi Ringo, Ring devices are weather proof, not water proof. Ring products will work in freezing temperatures and are resistant to rain. In general, Ring doorbells and Cam products with batteries are rated for operating temperatures between -5 to 120 degrees F. (-20 to 50 degrees C.). Cam products without batteries are rated at -22 to 120 degrees F (-30 to 48.5 degrees C).
