Today, I'll show you how to easily install the Eufy Floodlight Camera without needing to have a junction box. This floodlight Cam is designed to also be installed directly in a wall or ceiling and you just need a plug in cable to complete the setup. Eufy is not selling the plug in wiring accessory yet so I'll show you what to get instead.

As added protection after you complete the install, I would recommend adding some silicone caulking between the wall and the electrical box to create a barrier from the weather 👍

Bro thank you for this! I had just bought this camera and I didn’t want to drill through my brick for a box. This did the trick! Thumbs up!

You always have great reviews & installation videos. Thank you! I noticed a few months ago that there is a sponsored YT ad for a mini security camera called, SpyFocus & they're using clips from your actual review videos for other named cameras, as if it's their camera you were reviewing. I don't know if you gave them permission or not, but just in case, I thought you should know.

Thank you. I appreciate the heads up. I’ll check it out. I definitely didn’t endorse this brand.

Thank you for such a detailed video. Love your channel. I did have a question and was hoping you could shed some light on it. Couldn’t the camera be powered over USB? Does the wiring need to go through the three power wires on the camera?

Thanks for the videos. I need a flood light security camera like this one but I think I need 2 cameras do to the width of my building. The surveillance area is also a busy sidewalk with busy foot traffic- so I am wondering if in your opinion would 2 of these work in unison and would this type of 360 degree camera perhaps not be the best option. Thanks and any recommendations for a better solution, I need a Flood Light Security Camera System.

Thanks brother I was looking to buy a E340 and do not have a junction box in the area of installation, and didn't want to run conduit on the wall. . .

Hi! Is it possible to mount this on a corner mounting bracket? If so, please could you provide a link as an example?

@davidlowe3610 6 ай бұрын

Is there a camera similar to this (dual camera) but with a plugin instead for outside?

@xGR1MxREAPERx 5 ай бұрын

So does the camera come with that plastic mounting plate? That’s the piece I need as I want to mount to the wall and wire it but I’d rather plug it in, inside my garage then wire it direct to to electrical panel. It’s so much easier.

Please test a Microseven camera.

I want to run the wire from inside my garage plug on the ceiling. Can I run the 16 gauge wire through the whole in the center of the plug and connect the wires instead of removing the tabs and running down the side?

@gregebel3842 2 ай бұрын

Will it mount to a single gang box and cover it completely? Have a high outlet after removing a deck and would like to mount it there.

Hello . Had this installed for a month . During the day it’s very very sensitive to every passing car even when I adjusted down sensitivity and set up activity zones . After dark it’s tracking and lights up when motion detected but doesn’t record anything . Can you please help ? I have a ticket to eufy and still waiting

Hi life hackster, I absolutely love the eufy. But I am having troubles with it glitching for about seven seconds when it records a video I am getting full bars on all my devices. Is there anyway you can help me with this matter?

@davidlowe3610 6 ай бұрын

do you have the option for the E340 to stay stationary or will it always follow something? super useful video.

@xGR1MxREAPERx 5 ай бұрын

It is always stationary. You can program it to pan and tilt in a pattern or follow once it sees activity.

My junction box has 3 black wires and 3 white wires, no ground. can I just add ground connecting to the junction box? Thanks!

Is it waterproof?

@wisemage1986 3 ай бұрын

Might be an ignorant question 😅 but if you strip the outlet side of the extension cord, how do you connect it to the plug? Do I need a second cable?

@john5516 2 ай бұрын

If I’m not mistaken I think he cut off the female end, then used the male end to plug into the wall socket. Otherwise, he would end up with the problem you mentioned 😆

What are the advantages of using a junction box rather than doing it as described in this video?

Can I run the outdoor extension cable through the hole that’s in the wall and into the garage to an outlet in the garage?

@Gerardo-ff1qj Ай бұрын

This is what I thought he was gonna do.

@chaselex Ай бұрын

I did it and it works. Ran the cable along the garage wall to a receptacle. Used a good quality 25 foot extension cord.

@Shalatee 3 ай бұрын

I drilled a hole through the wall from the inside of my garage and ran the extension cord to the outside. I plan to mount the eufy mounting bracket directly over that hole so the cord enters from its rear and is not exposed. Would I need a junction box in this case or would the mounting bracket alone be up to code? Thank you.

@LifeHackster 3 ай бұрын

I’m pretty sure running an extension cord through a wall is not up to code. You have to get an electrician place a junction box outside which he has to run Romex inside the wall.

What's the difference of using an extension cord or Romex through the wall?
