Smart Floodlights

Choosing Smart Security Lighting

Smart security lighting combines outdoor lighting with motion detection, app control and, on many models, a built-in camera. Think about the area you want to light, how the product will be powered and whether you need video.

Types of Smart Security Lighting

• Floodlight cameras: Bright, wide lighting combined with a security camera, typically wired to mains power for continuous operation.
• Spotlight cameras: Cameras with a smaller built-in light, often available in battery, solar or wired versions for flexible installation.
• Smart outdoor lights: App-controlled floodlights without a camera, used for schedules, automations and lighting scenes. Some require a hub or bridge.

Features to Compare

• Brightness: Compare the stated brightness and beam coverage for the area you want to light.
• Motion detection: Adjustable motion zones and sensitivity help control when lights switch on and alerts are sent.
• Camera and night vision: On camera models, compare resolution, field of view and colour night vision.
• Sirens and two-way talk: Some models include a siren or speaker for deterring and speaking with visitors.
• Weather resistance: Check the stated weather rating and operating conditions for outdoor installation.
• Recording: Some camera features, such as recorded video history, may require a subscription.

Installation

In Australia, hardwired mains-powered lighting must be installed by a licensed electrician. Battery and solar models avoid mains wiring but need a mounting location with good Wi-Fi coverage and, for solar, adequate sunlight.

Smart Floodlight FAQs

Do I need an electrician to install a floodlight camera?

If the floodlight is hardwired to mains power, yes. In Australia, this work must be completed by a licensed electrician. Battery-powered spotlight cameras can usually be mounted without electrical work.

What is the difference between a floodlight camera and a spotlight camera?

Floodlight cameras usually provide brighter, wider lighting and are generally wired. Spotlight cameras have a smaller light and are often battery or solar powered for easier installation.

Can smart floodlights turn on automatically?

Yes. Most switch on when motion is detected, and many can also run on schedules or automations set in the app.
