Elite Floodlight WiFi

Some random thoughts for you: You can get battery powered motion lights. I had one that lasted 2 years on D cell batteries, for example. Note that they may not be very bright and they do require battery swaps or similar. Getting actual power is much more ideal. Fake cameras can be a deterrent, but m

Don't know much about Ubiquiti nowadays. Had it years ago, then it crapped out so I moved on to Reolink I like reolink much better, especially since i can store the videos on my NAS. I know the website says it integrates with Google Assistant... but I don't use that either. It does have what you wan

I concur with the comments cautioning about poison or embedded objects. My Reolink cameras and NVR record 24x7, sends me alerts, has built in sirens, floodlights and 2-way talk with no subscription. Not super cheap but less than your vet bill would be.

I've already cancelled nest aware, just letting the sub run out until January and replacing everything with Reolink, we only have two cameras and a doorbell. I am looking at their elite floodlight and the poe doorbell.

Reolink has a Elite Floodlight coming also. Camera uses 12v/poe. The lights are 120v. So they can be brighter. I think the lights will still reflect license plates so stuff like this is really only good for deterrents, I think anyway.

Detering a theft beats preventing an actual theft IMHO. Psychology. You want them to pick a different target. You can get cheap-enough Reolink PTZ cameras - ones that move - so the theif really knows and feels they are being watched. Have it set up so the floodlight on the camera turns on when a per

That was mine too after having a couple things stolen, bikes included, at my old large apartment building. Also gotta love that management installed 'hidden' cameras in the storage area because, quote, 'we don't want tenants to think there's a theft problem.' At my current place I've had some...trou

Reolink flood cameras give you the ability to select the brightness of flood lights, from 0 to 100. If you can I'd recommend the PoE Duo Flood but if wiring is an issue you can go with the Solar/battery flood. Put an SD card in one of these and not only will have you a deterrent with the light, you'

I'm a fan of the Reolink line. Almost any of the Duo Floodlight models will do what you want, and with an SD card onboard it'll record even if someone manages to mess with WiFi, so you can retrieve the recording later. I do recommend PoE and an NVR, though. The Elite is another option.

What is the issue with ring beyond the subscription fee? It seems fairly cheap and has third party monitoring. Just too many to list, it would take me an hour to explain. Basically it is issues with privacy/security risks, extremely awful useless hardware and software, bad company policies, and then
