I live in rented house can I put a mains 13amp plug on the Floodlight cam wired plus instead of hot wiring it to my main fuse box? Will it work ok with a normal plug? As I am in rented I am not allowed to add to fuse box. Can I not just add a mains plug? I

    Hi @Collee. We only recommend installing the Floodlight Cam Wired Plus as described in the [installation guide](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060800632-Installing-Floodlight-Cam-Wired-Plus-Security-Camera-) for it. We do not advise installing it any other way. If you're not comfortable with installing the Camera, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified electrician.

      As I am in rented house I am not allowed to add anythibg to mains electric fuse box. Can Not just add a plug to the hot wired lead. I would like the flood like hot wired camera but can not add it to the electric mains under my tenancy agreement, need it on a mains plug.

        Hi @Collee. If you are not able to hardwired this device in to your electrical box, I'd suggest one of our plug-in models that use a standard wall outlet, such as this one [here](https://ring.com/products/floodlight-cam-plus-plug-in).
