    So far I only have one of the 5 up. ruclips.net/user/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.

    Don’t trust the test button, you could have a malfunction on the light but still have voltage on your wires. It’s best to use a voltage tester to ensure the absence of voltage before you begin working on replacing the light

    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.

    When putting stranded wires to solid wires you don’t twist the wires together rather you put the stranded wire slightly higher/longer then the solid wire then use the wire nuts as normal and you will find it makes a way better connection it helps to twits the stranded wire by it’s self to tighten the strands together
