Hi all,
just trying to beef up my outdoor security and wouldn’t mind peoples opinion.
i currently have a ring doorbell and that does a good job at the front of the house. I have added a motion detector and hue lights for the garage here so the front is pretty covered.
I have one PIR floodlight on the side of the house (like a guinnnel about the width of two paving stones). I have one PIR floodlight on the rear of house covering the back garden. These two PIR floodlights are broken so I’m reevaluating how to best replace them.
My initial thought was to get two new PIR Floodlights for about £30 each and some blink or EUFA cameras for side and back of house for 105 or 199 total £165/259.
I then saw the ring floodlight with camera which looked good until I realised I would be tied in to a £8 a month subscription so ruled this out.
So then I looked at the EUFY floodlight with camera option but they are quite pricey (159 each) and I wonder if the angle of the one at the side of the house would deem it unusable as it would need to have both light and camera pointing direcly downdue to how narrow it is.
Other option is to have just one floodlight with camera at the back and normal PIR on side. (189 but with no camera coverage on side)
what do people think, anyone used any of the options?
