Floodlight Camera 5MP Dual-Band WiFi - Bright Color Night Vision

Our review of this floodlight camera finds it best suited for homeowners who want a permanently mounted, hard-wired outdoor camera that doubles as a powerful light source. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 5MP sensor and two 2,600 lumen floodlights, which deliver clear color images at night while also acting as a visible deterrent. Setup is straightforward for anyone with an existing junction box, and the ieGeek Cam app makes remote viewing and alerts easy to manage.

Key Features

• 5MP Sensor: The upgraded 1/2.7" 5MP CMOS captures detailed images and helps identify faces and license plates at greater distance than many 1080p options.
• Dual-Band WiFi: Support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands gives a more stable, faster connection for live view and cloud uploads.
• Powerful Floodlights: Two 2,600 lumen LEDs with adjustable brightness provide strong illumination and customizable schedules to light entryways on demand.
• Motion Detection & Alerts: A 150 PIR sensor triggers lights, siren and real-time app notifications so users are notified instantly of activity.
• Local and Cloud Storage: Continuous 24/7 recording can be saved to a microSD card up to 128GB or optional cloud storage for playback and evidence.
• Two-Way Audio & Siren: Built-in speaker and mic enable real-time communication, while a 110dB siren can deter intruders remotely.

Who It's For

This unit is ideal for homeowners, landlords or small business owners who prefer a hard-wired, always-on exterior camera with integrated lighting and want clearer night footage than typical 2MP cameras provide. It is particularly useful where visible lighting and a loud siren will improve security and quickly draw attention.

It is less suitable for renters without access to wiring or buyers who need a battery-powered or totally wireless solution. Also, those who want longer free cloud retention should be prepared to use local storage or a paid plan.
