It's madness not being able to have some sort of socket or an easy way to disconnect the wires. Ring are never going to tell you to cut the plug off so you can feed the cable through but that's exactly what I did. I then wired it directly to isolation board.

Does the spotlight cam connect via a transformer? Given it can be battery powered I suspect it might, so I worry about cutting the wire so can hardwire into my current outside junction box?

No, the camera mains cable is a fixed 2-core cable with a moulded UK 3-pin plug. No separate external transformer.

Great so in theory can just chop the wire and hardwire directly into the mains

Yes, I've had to do that as Ring leaves no other choice for UK customers to wire it to a junction box with standard UK mains voltage.

So what’s the definition of authorised? A qualified electrician?
