Do I need to hard wire or can plug and unplug it?

hardwired into outside wall... I just replaced my original mount with this one. Works with light switch from inside the house like any other outside lighting.

You do need to hard wire it in but you can run it to an on and off switch inside the house. That way if you want to keep it from lighting after dark you could switch it off.

It is intended to be hard wired, providing only short wire connections from the circuit board to wire nut on to. However, I suppose you could connect an extension cord to it and plug it in. However, the plug would need to be accessible per NEC, you cannot use an outlet/plug connection behind a wall or other inaccessible location.

It needs to be hard wired. However, if you want to plug it into the wall you can buy a plug at a hardware store to convert it.

I am not an electrician. I bought these for my mother to go in her kitchen. my brother installed them. They are supposed to be plugged in and that's how he did hers. I guess it's a possibility it could be hardwired if somebody knows how to do it, but I can't really say.

Yeah you can hard wire anything, comes with a plug. You are crazy to hard wire, I would hard wire a female receptacle then you would have a second plug for a light if you need it. But you could cut off this male plug and hard wire it.

Yes if you know how!! My husband is very handy and was able to hardwire it. Otherwise you have to plug it in.

It is meant to be hard wired but I installed a 3 prong plug on the end. It does not come with a switch.

Hardwired. Easy to switch it out for another light. I had a regular one in similar style that just flipped off and on. My handyman switched it out in about 5 minutes.

There is a removable cover on the electrical area, so it should be possible to hard wire it.

You will need it hard wired by an electrician. It works very well when installed and doesn't take up much wall space.

It has to be hardwired you could put a cord cap on the end of the wires and plug it in.

Regardless of whether there is an on/off switch I would suggest unplugging the unit when not being used for an extended period. This is a 120VAC unit and should be plugged into a receptacle rather than being hard wired.

I cut the plug off and hardwired two, be careful not to coil the wires or let them touch the unit.

This is wired directly to your switch, so it is basically hardwired. You take your incoming wires to the outlet/switch run them to this unit and than out of that to your switch/outlet, tuck it all back in the box which can get tight depending on how many wires are coming into the box.

It is set up to be hard wired but we spliced a toggle switch and plug to it and made it a plug in.

The only hard wiring required is for power ( which is delivered through a POE on the Cat5 cable). The unit needs to be configured as a repeater first, though. It can be confiured through the wireless, but save yourself time (and hassle) by connecting directly to the unit and configuring it before installation.
