David4 0 Posted May 10, 2013 I took down a flood light out side to install a dome camera. The outlet box is a single box it's the same kind where a single light switch would be installed in. Are there any adapters for this? I have looked and can't find any only the wall mounts etc. I would like to use the existing box so i don't have to take anything down or cut any new holes in my vinyl siding plus i may want to put back the flood light some day Any ideas or suggestions?

wkearney99 0 Posted May 13, 2013 Just use a regular electrical box cover and drill it to accommodate your camera mounted on it. Note, code requires separating low and high voltage wiring. So leaving the existing ac wiring in there technically violates code. For that you would use a 2 gang box that has a divider panel. I would not leave the ac live in there. If possible, disconnect and label it back in the breaker panel. Otherwise someone might get a nasty shock assuming theres no power on a line that has nothing connected to it.
