Hi @49e. You can find information on the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059101391-Ring-Floodlight-Cam-Wired-Pro-Information), which outlines both the power and wifi requirements. Your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro must be installed on a 4' round UL listed weatherproof electrical box, and it connects to a 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz wifi network rather than ethernet such as the Elite. You can find more detailed installation instructions in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059068632-Installing-Your-Ring-Floodlight-Cam-Wired-Pro-), and if you have any questions or concerns during in the installation, we'd recommend contacting a qualified electrician. :)

And ring not  supporting  mac and windows  come October .TAKES RING from ''The BEST  to a mid/range outfit. ,, ALREADY looking for a replacement
