SECURITY FLOOD LIGHT WITH CAMERA PRO

SECURITY FLOOD LIGHT WITH CAMERA PRO

The Floodlight Cam Plus isn't Ring's top spec offering – that honor goes to the Floodlight Cam Pro – but it represents better value for most. Generally the term 'spotlight' is used where less powerful LEDs are used to provide enough light for color video, but not to 'flood' a space with light. We have another list of the best outdoor security cameras with dimmer (or no) lights.

There is a good amount of choice and, in this list, we'll concentrate on the brighter ones. Something to think about is how much light you're looking for.

Some facilities, like distinguishing from people and animals, might effectively be behind a 'paywall', and these can dramatically affect false positives – which cause stressful alerts. We'll take a look at the differences as we go, but a key factor for some will be any devices they already have – sticking with one brand can make devices easier to operate (only one app is needed) and cheaper (subscription discount for multiple devices). To get the best out of most smart cameras some kind of subscription fee is required, especially to record clips when the camera is activated. Traditional cameras often only use infra-red lights, which are invisible and result in black-and-white imagery, while a floodlight provides light to capture color video at any time of day.Ī crucial factor is the ecosystem that surrounds your floodlight camera. Including illumination can be helpful when you or your guests need it, but also has the advantage of a deterrent effect – any unwanted visitors will certainly see the light. The floodlight camera category has become a significant niche within the smart outdoor security camera market.
