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.

Lorex 1080p HD Wire-Free Security System with 4 Battery-Operated Active Deterrence Cameras and Person Detection
A second Lorex system deserves an Honorable Mention for the best home security cameras still available for Cyber Week. The Lorex 1080p HD Wire-Free 4-Camera Security System model L222A81-4CM-E  includes a Network Video Recorder (NVR) with a 1TB hard drive and four wire-free, motion-activated 1080p HD video cameras with person detection. 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.

Haier is putting AI to work on the chores you barely think about

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Haier

Haier brought its “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” vision to IFA 2026, showcasing products across laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, televisions and floorcare. AI, sensors and connected technology featured across the range, but the more interesting question was what those systems actually did. In many cases, they were being used to help appliances recognise what was happening and make adjustments without requiring another instruction from the user.

SimpliSafe wants its new doorbell to stop porch pirates, not just record them
SimpliSafe’s new $200 doorbell can yell at package thieves and call the police
SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on what does around your house. But when a package is being stolen, all you get is the footage of someone walking away with our stuff. SimpliSafe is working on making things a little more secure.

The company’s new Video Doorbell Series 2 extends its Active Guard Outdoor Protection service directly to the front door. When the doorbell detects a potential threat, trained US-based monitoring agents can view the live feed, speak directly to the person outside, activate the doorbell’s siren, and, when necessary, request police dispatch while the camera records what is happening.

Apple’s new AI camera features come with a bizarre iCloud storage tax
HomeKit Secure Video footage doesn’t count against iCloud storage, yet adding Apple Intelligence to more cameras means buying increasingly massive storage plans
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple is making HomeKit Secure Video a lot smarter. Its new Apple Intelligence features can describe recorded activity and let you search camera footage using natural language instead of digging through clips yourself.

Getting those features across several cameras is where things get weird. The 2TB iCloud Plus plan supports Apple Intelligence on one camera. Two cameras require 6TB, while five require the 12TB tier. All that extra storage is required even though HomeKit Secure Video recordings don’t count against your iCloud allowance.
