external wiring question

Just picked up a few things from HD that require a hard wire connection. Above the garage, I have this.



The window is the master bath that was added on prior to our purchasing the house. Below that window is a spa tub. My assumption is that the conduit is providing the power to the tub. Can I tap into that to provide power to the floodlight? If not, what other options might I have? Would like to get this done today.

 

Solved this for the time being by replacing one of the existing floods. It's not as high but I have great coverage on the yard with both the camera and motion detector.



Working on the second camera over the side door now. That'll give me coverage to the left of this picture including the street. I may have to add another camera above the garage, or move this one at some point, because if Bec is parked in the driveway, there is no view between the cars.

One thing to be aware of if you install one of these. The Ring service does not play with a VPN service. When I first installed it, I would not get any video or motion alerts. Turned off the VPN and everything worked. Moved the Ring to a different address block, that is outside the VPN addressing, turned the VPN back on and now I can see everything. Besides that, setup was painless.

 

Ok, need a sanity check. Second cam I bought has a 20' long cord with a plug. This seems to defeat the purpose of an always on security camera. Above the side door is a light fixture. I had thought about tapping into the fixture but then realized that the cam would only be on when the light was on. I don't want the light on all day long.

So, I'm thinking a can drop some romex down into the wall to the switch on the inside of the door. I'll snip the end off the cord and fix it to one end of the romex. If I take the other end and put it on the hot side of the switch, the camera will have constant power. That should let the light function normally with the switch. Does that sound right?

 

Not recommended! That feed is likely on it’s own breaker, probably a much higher amperage breaker than you want. Go through the first floor rim joist into the garage, short run to the panel from there.
Get a light with a daylight sensor for automatic on/off
