How to Choose

Choose light output for the area you need to see, then compare sensor range, field of view, and mounting instructions.
Separate camera lights from pure floodlights: a compact camera light may prioritise video and battery life over brightness.
Check whether recording, notifications, or cloud features require a subscription before buying a camera model.
Have a competent installer handle mains wiring and follow the manufacturer's mounting and electrical instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only if recordings, live view, or notifications are useful to you. A dedicated sensor floodlight can provide more light with less software and no recording plan.

Mains power is better for sustained high output. Solar avoids wiring but depends on panel exposure, weather, battery state, and the product's power-management settings.

A light can improve visibility and deterrence, but it is not a certified alarm system. Combine lighting with appropriate locks and other security measures.
