Resolution
These bright lights work best when paired with a high -resolution camera that can catch a lot of details. 1080p will get the job done, but for the best clarity for these (often high-highest) cameras, we prefer 2K resolutions, like some of our top elections.
Brightness and adjustment
Lumens is an excellent indicator of visible brightness (do not try to compare it with Watts, especially with LEDs), and several thousand lumens are a guarantee of bright lights that can fully illuminate a larger area. But we also want to see brightness options, light shades and scheduling. It helps keep the lights wake you up at night or anger your neighbors, allowing you to make adjustments as you need.
Smart support for homes
Smart support for homes with existing platforms is always nice to have, especially when routines with other smart lights or cameras are installed. We are looking for support for both Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Apple's support is much harder to find for security cameras at this point, though as Standard for matter It continues to progress, we hope to change.
Power options
While careful use of batteries can lead to good electricity management for wireless flood cameras, those reflectors tend to take extra juice. They are also often mounted in high locations where to lower the battery charging can be pain. Think carefully if you prefer wireless installation or optional wired option, which can take extra installation work. Please keep in mind that wired flood cameras often need to be connected to a joint box.
Detection of movement
The discovery of movement and recognition of objects are especially important for flooding cameras because they help the lights turn on Only When there is a reasonable reason as a detected human figure. We have favored several cameras that offer items recognition for free on this list, but you may have to pay for advanced features.
Eufy offers three LED panels to strengthen your brightness.
Night vision
Night sight is not so important with wide spotlights, but it can help improve the clarity of the edges of the image when things are dark. For the best clarity, consider looking for a camera that has night color viewing.
Two -way audio and sirens
Audio options can be very important if you want to interrogate a stranger (or yell at a friend) or sound a mermaid to scare offenders. They are not as valuable for flooding cameras as they are on video screens, for example, but still an important feature. Fortunately, most flood cameras now have these audio options.
