If you want a combination security light and HD security camera, the Lorex 1080p Wi-Fi Floodlight Camera is the best combination home security camera deal for Cyber Week. The weather-resistant device is IP65 rated to withstand rain and snow and extreme temperatures.

This floodlight and camera combination has it all. You get dual 2,000-lumen LED floodlights activated by motion detection, a preconfigured schedule, or manual control. Passive infrared (PIR) motion detection activates the floodlights and starts the video camera recording. You can use the Lorex Home app to configure how long the lights stay on and the camera keeping recording if motion ceases. The Home app also lets you configure activation schedules or turn the lights and camera on or off manually. You adjust the lights horizontally and vertically independently for the exact coverage you wish.

The Lorex Floodlight Camera records 1080p video in real-time at 30 frames per second. The camera’s wide-angle lens provides a 137-degree diagonal field of view to capture a significant area. The camera has a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way talk via your smartphone and the Home app. The Lorex supports both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant smart speakers and smart displays so you can speak with and view visitors or intruders from within your home.

Easy to set up, you can connect the Lorex Floodlight Camera to existing light fixture wiring and then to your Wi-Fi network. You’ll never have to worry about the lights fading or a battery running low because the camera uses conventional home power. The camera also stores up to 32GB of video and audio recordings directly on the device, so you do not have to pay for cloud storage or subscription fees.

This system normally sells for $550 but is discounted 27% to $400 for Cyber Week.

You won’t be bothered with alerts for non-consequential motion with this system’s new Person Detection. The cameras have LEDs around the lens and can record video up to 60 feet away at night. The cameras also have two-way talk capability. You can use the Lorex Cirrus app to view the camera life feeds, or play back recorded video clips. This system is also Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant compatible.

The Lorex wire-free cameras can be connected in any location up to 450 feet from the DVR.  The DVR plugs into power inside your home and connects to your home network via ethernet cable. The four cameras connect to the NVR via Wi-Fi and run on Lithium-ion batteries. Battery life between charges varies depending on use, but Lorex estimates up to 4 months of usage between charges with an average of 24 recordings per day. When the power runs low, the system sends an alert to give you plenty of time to recharge. The cameras can also be plugged into a power source if you prefer.
