Ring Spotlight Cam Pro Wired - Rectangular Horizontal JBox Mount Use-Case WHERE?

With the new **Spotlight Cam Pro Wired** (finally) released for purchase, there's a ton of us looking for the continuity of installation for those with prior Spotlight Cam Wired Mount devices on **horizontal, rectangular jboxes**. Remember, *a standard rectangular jbox is wider that a standard round jbox and there would be a gap unless they made the entire thing oversized, at which point it’s too big to overlap a single shingle siding, which is the reason the rectangular jbox mount is so popular*. Way less obtrusive and damaging to the siding. But I can't find anything at this point. Just this wonky round mount with overly complicated USB type-c connector instead of the solid pin mounts of before. Planned obsolescence would not be welcome at this price-point nor given the holes required to be put in your house should be a one-time deal. I'm also concerned with the documentation on the current round thing saying to "caulk around it" which to my knowledge is not exactly electrical code to do to any jbox. My current "Mount" style has normal weatherproofing gaskets that are code. Feels like a lot of weird shortcuts here. Can you provide guidance for installation/use-case parity against this, please: ![image|157x96](upload://mFHftfoMe9SM2ykw80KLojRKqNt.png)
