• Struggling with smart (or even not that smart) camera and floodlight options.

    We're end of terrace and I want a floodlight, and preferably camera at the side of my house next to the street.

    From what I can tell, even the smart camera/floodlights have the floodlight controlled by a PIR and this can't be set with a selective zone. As a result the floodlight turns on when people walk past in the street or a car goes past. Does anyone know of a camera where the floodlight is controlled by a camera where you can select activity zones?

    Also a secondary problem that the obvious place to mount a camera/light is near the boiler flue so the camera is being triggered by steam from the flue. Something with some type of image recognition or a much more tunable detection field would be good.

  • Get a self contained PIR. Adjust the sensitivity and mount it so it isn't triggered by the wrong things. Run a cable to where you need the light to be.
