Hey sparky if you install the flu where an existing fixture had been there's no romex to be ran. Yes the light has to be hardwired to provide power to the device. Then all of its features are operated over WIFI. EVERYTHING, the live view, the recording, the siren and speaker and so on.

Hi Sparky,

Thanks for reaching out.

In order to support its robust array of features, Floodlight Cam needs to be hardwired into a standard junction box.If you do not already have a junction box, one can be installed, however, Ring highly recommends that you engage a licensed electrician for this. You'll want a 4-inch round waterproof junction box for use with Floodlight Cam.

Thanks,
