UK Ring Spotlight Camera Wiring

[Rustiness]

Hello everyone.

I’m looking at installing a camera on my garage. The garage has a 16A breaker for the sockets and 6A for lighting.

Am I able to use some 1mm twin and earth to wire the camera straight into the 6A with the lighting?

Thanks

Ryan

Yes, however remember to add a power supply as mains voltage straight into a ring camera makes a small but expensive bang!

Oh really? They advertise that you can replace existing outside lights with these cameras so I thought they could simply run on the same wiring.

Is there a power supply you could recommend?

Cheers.

Edit: So I forgot to mention I’m using their “hardwired kit”. Does this have the power supply built in? I’ll add a picture of the info on the kit.

Cheers.

My apologies, I had assumed (wrongly) that it was a ring doorbell
The camera is suitable for direct connection to the lighting circuit.

My fault, I could have made it clearer.

Thanks for the help.

Hopefully there's an RCD feeding the garage Cu.
