No. The floodlight camera records motion activated events. The floodlight camera has longer detection range and supports a 10-second pre-buffer to ensure complete events are recorded. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. Turn Night Into Day: 2,000-lumen super-bright motion-activated floodlights deter intruders and ensure detailed, full-color recordings even at night. Powerful Built-in AI: Human detection technology enables the camera to intelligently detect body shapes. Ensuring you are only alerted when a person, and not a stray cat, approaches. The Eufy Floodlight Cam 2 makes a good first impression. Mounted onto a large junction box, its two metal floodlights are highly poseable thanks to two ball joint connectors, similar to those on the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Pro. The camera is on the large side, in part due to its wide infra-red motion detector, but the whole thing feels well made. Although much more visible than a simple outdoors camera, its all-white finish should look smart on the side of most houses or outbuildings.

Yes, the floodlight camera supports up to 2 activity zones. Users can set activity zones to exclude unnecessary event alerts or recording unnecessary footage. Smart Siren: A harsh warning for any intruders. A loud 100dB alarm can be triggered to scare off any unwanted visitors.With the parasol gone, infrared footage was sharp and detailed, without too much blur on moving objects. This camera is designed to connect to external wiring suitable for any outdoor light. This makes it particularly easy to install if you’re upgrading an existing floodlight or light: simply switch off the relevant lighting circuit at the fuse box (or the whole house if you want to be extra cautious), remove the old light, and connect up the Floodlight Camera’s baseplate. Flawless 2K Surveillance: Live-stream and record in full 2K resolution and see exactly who's there in crisp clarity.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t say the same for the motion-activated floodlights. These are controlled by a separate infrared sensor for which you can’t set up exclusion zones or adjust the sensitivity. Our parasol triggered so many false alarms that I had to disable the feature. The lights’ sensitivity was fine with the parasol removed, but it’s a shame that they’re not controlled by the same AI and exclusion zones that work so well with the camera, or have separate motion control as you get with Ring’s Floodligth Cam. When triggered by motion, you can set the floodlights to remain on for between 30 seconds to 15 minutes. You can also set their brightness independently of the other triggers – useful if you want to send a full-beam message to prowlers, but keep the lights low at other times. I also liked this camera’s ambient light feature, which lets you configure the lights at your chosen level on a schedule, or between sunset and sunrise. It’s a useful feature to have if you want constant visibility of a dark drive or pathway. No, the floodlight camera is a standalone product which connects to users’ home WiFi networks.But it is in plan. Please stay tuned! I configured the activity zones to exclude a parasol that billows in the breeze, after which I found I needed to drop the sensitivity by one notch. After that, switched to human-only detection, I experienced no false alarms and no missed events over a period of several weeks. Intelligent Detection and Notifications: The built-in AI reduces the number of false alerts you receive by intelligently differentiating people from objects.The floodlight camera has 4GB local storage built-in for motion-triggered recordings. In the scenario of 30 video clips per day, 1min length per recording, the 4GB eMMC can store about 16 days of footage.
