Remove Ring Floodlight Wired Plus from Mounting Plate

troubleshooting
Hi, I am trying to remove a Wired Plus Floodlight assembly from the mounting plate / backing plate. But am unable to do so. Assembly was no problem. When I am trying to remove the camera from the wall mounting plate, I have loosened and removed the 2 small nuts that hold the camera / light to the mounting plate then try to pull the camera free. The camera is moving out by approx 5mm then it feels like something is holding the camera onto its mounting. I dont see anything obvious to keep it in place. Called Ring Support (no help). Can you please advise a fix or any suggestions? Dont think I need to twist etc? Should this just pull off after the 2 nuts are removed? No information on this in manual or youtube Ring content etc.

    Hi @KMU. The Floodlight Cam should come off the opposite way it was installed. Once the nuts are removed, the assembly should slide off. Be careful, as some of the wires may have become bound up, making this slightly more difficult. Be sure that the power is turned off to avoid any electrical hazards. I hope this helps.

      I'm having the exact same problem. I've removed the nuts to expose the posts and from what it looks like, the light should just slide off the two posts and expose the plate and wiring. I've looked all over for a release or another screw, but I only see a notch at the very bottom which doesn't seem to do anything When I pull, the light does not slide along the posts as expected, instead it pulls from the wall

        Hi @user_36c630. If the suggestions in the previous reply were not helpful, I'd recommend following up with our support team @Ring on Facebook, X, or Instagram for further assistance.

      What did you wind up doing to pop it loose?  I'm having the same problem.  The entire light will rotate but I can't get it to slide off.  I get the impression something has fused inside the bracket - but NOT the wiring.  I'm able to barely peek inside to see that the wiring itself is in good shape.  There's something between the bracket and the housing for the camera that has fused together.

        Well - figured it out.  After years of being installed the inner bracket had some gunk and grime fusing the outer housing to it.  I got a putty knife inserted between the two pieces near that bottom tab and worked it all the way around to pop it loose.
