Because it's a wired camera, it's not as susceptible to cold temperatures as the battery-powered Arlo. (It even comes with a 32 GB microSD card.)Įxcellent weather resistance is another notch in Swann's belt. Still, Swann's video looks good, and it's a better option for local video storage than Arlo.

Outdoor security cameras benefit from a wide view, though Swann's 1080p resolution can't take advantage of the wide view like Arlo's 2K video can. Swann Slimline has the widest field of view on our list at 175º-compared to 130º on most competitors. Head over to our Wyze Cam v3 and Wyze camera reviews to learn more. Overall, the Wyze Cam Floodlight is an excellent value for anyone looking to save a few bucks compared to typical floodlight cameras. Still, it bagged some excellent video clips in day and night conditions and shone more than enough to light half of our tester's yard. We found the instructions hard to follow during the installation, and the included screws didn't have clear labels.
(It doesn't come with a microSD card.) Plus, Wyze's cloud storage plans are some of the most affordable among home security camera brands. The Wyze Cam v3 supports microSD cards of essentially unlimited capacity-it's totally doable if you want a terabyte of local storage in your camera. One of Wyze's biggest strengths is video storage. You can even adjust the two floodlights to point where each camera looks. Using two cameras is a great way to double your field of view and watch over multiple parts of your yard without installing another floodlight. We love that the Wyze Cam Floodlight mount can power a second Wyze Cam v3. Combined with the 2,600-lumen outdoor floodlights, this makes for an effective way to scare potential trespassers out of your yard. This is much louder than the 90 dB we got from Arlo during testing. Wyze has one of the loudest sirens on our list, topping out at a hair-raising 105 dB.

Overall, we think the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight offers the best option for folks wanting great video quality and easy installation. It easily lit as far as 40 feet in our tests. When using the camera in battery-only mode, its floodlights top out at 2,000 lumens, which is dimmer than average but still matches the brightness of Ring's floodlight cam. It's the only battery-powered floodlight camera in our top five, so it has limitations you won't find on other brands. This makes sense for achieving the best video quality at night, but having the option to pivot lights to fit your yard and paths would be nice. It works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, and IFTTT.Īrlo's LED floodlight is attractive but not adjustable, so it lights only in the direction of the camera lens. You can integrate it easily with other smart devices like thermostats and smart locks.
Lorex produces more light, but it lacks Arlo's video quality and cloud storage options.Īrlo has great smart home integration. This brings the camera's cost to $300, but the brightness matches or beats most competitors. You can achieve up to 3,000 lumens of brightness, but you need to buy a $50 cable and place it within 25 feet of an outlet. While it's not as wide as the Swann Slimline's view, Arlo's 2K video resolution achieves better-looking results on the whole. Arlo's 160º field of view offers a wider view of your yard than most other brands.
