The installation was not so simple
The installation was not so simple. I was replacing a standard exterior floodlight on my garage. The WIFI on 2ghz was low there was WIFI and the system would recognize the camera . Once the Night Owl Protect app recognize the camera It took me to the next step where it took you to your live view the app says if you don't see all your cameras don't push next. The floodlight would not show up in the live view. I tried several times and tried everything deleting the camera from the app, locating the reset button Resetting the camera, Rebooting NVR, Rebooting router, temporarily disable my 5 GHz. All my firmware on the app was up to date. So I called product support the people were nice but all she would tell me is to Shorten distance move camera within 3–6 ft of router for initial setup (then relocate). I told her how am I supposed to move it closer to the router when it has to be hard wired to a preexisting floodlight. Since the camera is hardwired to the floodlight, moving it isn't practical. Product support was no HELP at all. I knew I had to figure this out on my own. So I am writing this review to help someone else out if you run into this problem when the WIFI on 2ghz is to low and the camera is to far from the router. This is what my husband did to fix it. He took down the floodlight brought it in the house he cut the end of a extension cord wired the floodlight to the extension cord plugged into a outlet right next to my router. I went into the app to add the floodlight the installation was quick and easy it recognize the camera right away and had the live view. Then we relocated it back to my garage. It has been working fine ever since. Night owl floodlight should come with a USB power cord like the doorbell does a USB power cord that you can use for temporary power during setup! I hope this helps someone having this sane issue.

Easy to set up
Awesome camera easy to set up. Does need a power wire. So if you dont have one already you might need to befriend an electrician. But nonetheless it was easy to run and install. Put it on a 4inch round box.

Lighted coverage for the laneway.
Was in need of a floodlight for my driveway and found this at a steal, so glad. The light did exactly what i wanted and with the added camera feature it helps with security also. 1 excellent feature is the sd card storage feature, no need to pay for cloud storage or buy a special hd for storage.
