Installing flood light without ground wire

Is it possible to install the floodlight without a ground wire. My house is old and there was no ground for the old floodlight. I changed the junction box from a metal to a pvc type.

Much of the older wiring in our house is grounded through metal conduit. When replacing electrical outlets in that case, we've attached the ground wire to the metal junction box and it tests out as a good ground. Since you've replaced your metal junction box with a PVC box, are you able to ground your camera to the metal conduit to which your PVC box is attached?  Or could you put the metal junction box back and ground to that?

The pole is metal. Seems like based on what you said that would work. I appreciate the reply
