The Best Floodlight Security Cameras for Your Home
"A floodlight security camera is a great way to add light and video surveillance to your property, and they work extremely well for dark areas. They can serve like motion-activated lights when you or your family are taking out the trash, adding safety and convenience to your property. The addition of a security camera enables you to receive alerts about intruders, record video events that you can review later, and drop in and check on the videofeed whenever you like from wherever you are."
"While it may be a hassle to install (some folks will prefer to hire an electrician for this), you don't need to worry about charging a hardwired floodlight security camera, and they can generally get brighter than battery-powered cameras. Our recommended floodlight security cameras go from 800 lumens up to 3,000 lumens. To give you an idea, 800 lumens is about what you'd expect from a 60-watt bulb."
Floodlight security cameras combine bright, motion-triggered lighting with integrated video feeds to illuminate and monitor dark property areas. They provide alerts for intrusions, continuous or event-based recording, two-way audio, and siren functions to deter trespassers. Smart alerts and AI detection can filter people, vehicles, and packages, though some advanced features may require a subscription. Installation can be more involved and may require an electrician, but hardwired models avoid recharging and typically offer higher brightness than battery-powered options. Recommended lumen ranges span roughly 800 to 3,000 lumens, with 800 lumens approximately equivalent to a 60-watt bulb.
