edited April 2014 in SecuritySpy
I am trying to find a good combination outdoor light (with motion sensor) and IP camera to connect to my SS software.

This is for a home.

A google search didn't produce much.

Thanks for any suggestions.

best,
Mac

    I would prefer a wired camera for this, as I have found the configuration of wireless cameras like this to be very painful. I have used an Axis M1011-W inside my home before.

    Hi Mac,

    The Dahua IPC-HFW2100 is a good low-cost waterproof camera. We have more information and recommendations on our 10 Recommended IP Cameras blog post.

    As for a light with a motion sensor, most hardware shops sell these. You won't find a combination camera/light device; you would have to purchase these separately.

    Hope this helps!

    To clarify, some cameras have built-in visible lights that can be activated via motion detection, however no outdoor cameras have this feature (as far as I know), and the light level is quite low. For a bright light that illuminates an outdoor area when motion is detected, you're better off purchasing an outdoor light with built-in PIR motion sensor.
