The biggest problem with home security camera-or any security camera for that matter-is light. Sure, there’s infrared or the more expensive models, night vision, but do you really want to pull the voyeur thing on the creeps that sneak into your home? No. You want to scare the hell out of the intruders. How? Launching painful paintballs at them, that’s how. OK. Maybe that’s not completely legal everywhere and so for those areas, you want to send the intruders packing with 2000 lumens of instant light like the Arlo Wired Floodlight Security Camera and Light is designed to do.
So, yeah, Arlo has decided that your home security needs a bit more flair—and a lot more light. Their latest creation, the Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera, takes outdoor protection to a new level with 2K HDR video and a floodlight bright enough to make nocturnal critters reconsider their life choices. And since it’s hardwired, you can kiss battery anxiety goodbye.
This thing isn’t just about lighting up the night; it’s got 160 degrees of adjustable camera vision, motion detection that practically reads minds, and Color Night Vision, so you can catch everything—even when it’s dark out. You’ll also get the joy of automated sirens and floodlights that turn on when motion is detected, making it easier to shoo away any unwanted guests. You know that’s going to be fun content for your TikTok.
A few other details include articulating lights to direct them to specific areas, automating lighting schedules based on time of day or activity, color night vision (yep, it also has that too), noise-canceling two-way audio, motion notifications and object detection, Arlo Foresight that lets you view 4 seconds of video prior to every motion-triggered recording, all-weather protection, direct to Wi-Fi, and seamless smart home integration, supporting third-party platforms like Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, and Google Home.
