Most home burglarlies actually happen during the day, (between 10am and 3pm to be precise according to a quick internet search). I believe the reasoning is because people are at work or out doing things during these times. Burglars know that people are home at night, so its far easier to burglarize when no one is home. Thank you for the videos.
I'm about to buy a house and set up an alarm system. Your reviews have been instrumental in my choice of product and I'm grateful for your public help and work. Thank you man !
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Mr. Lifehackster is the guru /sensei/master of his domain. His reviews has helped me to make the most sound decision in selecting security cameras. As of today my house has 10 surveillance cameras from 4 different brand companies as no 1 brand will fix all your needs. Thanks, LH.
god dam boi.
This man clearly loves lights.
i forgot to stop youtube in one monitor and started working on another and this one kept reviewing lights one after another for more than few videos.
as i do my own research and look and high and low, your suggested ideas are always the ones i come back too...thank you for sharing your ideas
What heavy duty tape you recommend for the lights
What would be cool is a motion sensor that would trigger indoor lights when the system is set to 'away'.
First if would trigger exterior lights, as normal. After about 20-40 seconds, it would start triggering interior lights, as if someone is awake, and approaching to investigate.
I’ve done that with Alexa routiejs
Just purchased the mr. beams for the shed and pleased with them and will be purchasing more for the yard. Ring has purchased mr. beams so I’m excited for that line to come out but no word yet when they’ll be available.
Yes, I can't wait for Ring to release their indoor cams and outdoor lights.
Great stuff man! I️ have two Nest outdoor cams on order now for my front yard and I️ am going to get the cheeper Argus 2 cameras for my backyard. I’m also in the process of getting my house well enough lit. I️ don’t live in a bad area but have had our van broken into twice and enough is enough. I️ bought the Nest Cams because I wanted the 24/7 recording. Your videos have been such a great help and I really appreciate all of your hard work. Best wishes to you and your family!
Thank You and I appreciate it.
I have the Honeywell programmable light switch, and love it. I can program it any way I want, and that's it. They're used for the front, from dusk to dawn and it has automatic DSL adjustment. The backyard, I've programmed differently and love it. Thinking about the solar ones for at the far end of the yard that opens up to forested area. Another good security idea, is using driveway alert system that you can expand and place various sensors around the property.
Yes, just set it up and forget about it. I had the solar lights for about a month now and have no issues yet.
Awesome setup and well thought placement for security. The only issue is see is having multiple camera brands which means you would have to switch to different apps to see rather then sticking to one application
Great review, very helpful indeed.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Thanks so much Kababayan ! I need that lemontec solar light the review are mostly positive!
You are welcome. I had the solar lights for a month now and no issues yet. Even the mounting tape works pretty good.
Would you consider making a "Year in Review" video in which you highlight your top picks for: Indoor camera, outdoor camera, motion flood lights, etc? If you do, would you also explain why they were your top picks?
I am actually planning to...like a look back on what happened in 2018...
Thank you so much didn’t know mounting tape works for that
Your house is alot like mine. Thanks for sharing your setup.
Thank you.
Awesome products!
Thanks.
Wow thats a lot of camera wow
Im so impress did not see any nest cam though? Im getting wyze this week . Nice backyard
:) My nest cameras are "nesting" just because they haven't done anything about their notification delay. Actually, when I made this video, my Nest Hello has been in my back patio door but I didn't include it because I was only doing it for testing so I can do the update video which I uploaded last week. You will not get disappointed with the Wyze cam.
I just got the WYZE cam pan today so far I like it. I didn't expect the video quality but is good. I planned to put it on a window facing outside but when night vision activates the light from the camera it reflects the window makes the camera blind. Since its not for outdoor use I intend to mount it inside but facing outside lol.. Thanks for replying bro, been watching your channel about security features in the house.!
Hi LifeHackster!!...Your videos are VERY HELPFUL!!! Keep up the gr8 work!. Question: Can you post a link for the "Heavy Duty Mounting Tape" you use to mount the solar light panels please???
This should work -> amzn.to/2Hfm32k
Awesome
very nice video,like it
Thank you.
@@LifeHackster welcome,i am an amazon seller,do u have interest to review 60led solar flood light with smart remote?
Hey do you have a 2020 updated one of affordable LED lights for outdoor. My mom's car got burglarized (caught it on Vivint) but I want more lighting around the house. Especially the side. Thank you.
How are those lemontec solar lights holding up or other brands of the same type?
670! Silly comment, but wanted to share! Keep up the good work!
Hello there! Can you please do a Arlo Pro 2 vs Ring Spot comparison video? I’m debating between the 2. Thanks!
Yes. I might do that in my future videos. I'll be talking about the Ring Spotlight Cam battery in my video later on today.
Great video. I live in a neighborhood with nice houses, but very poor lighting. I just ordered a bunch of the solar led lights, made by the brand Litom. I the siding on my house is made of wood and I don't want to put screws of nails through it. Would you recommend the double sided tape? How would I uninstall a light that was mounted with the tape though? Would it be very difficult?
Double sided weather resistant mounting tape. You will be able to take it off by running a string at the backside and with a sawing motion to cut through the tape.
Got my 2009 prius catalyc convertwr stolen from my driveway. I have a 3 car garage with 3 lights outside but they were off when that happened:( I live in california so that part very expensive to repair...
anyways I would like to install a good flood or dusk to dawn, or motion light on top of the 3 that I already have...but I don't know which one will be good for my needs? The 3 that I have use light bulbs and I can turn them on or off with a light
I found your videos really usefull. I already have 2 outside cameras from VSTARCAM but now Im looking for a standalone home security system with GSM (I only need door and windows sensors), what would you recommend?
I am liking the Ring Alarm. Easy setup and cheap monitoring...but I haven't really tested any other DIY security systems but I will stick to a known brand like Ring or Simplisafe.
Definitely the ring alarm. Easy to setup and works great with a low cost of monitoring if you need that.
I have the same issue as you (the camera angling down the side of the house) and at night my camera (Arlo Pro 2) is useless. I just bought the Arlo security lights to help with this issue, but I don't think it's going to help much if any with my issue. The solar lights you posted look promising and I believe I will try them. I wish i could post a pic here from my Arlo camera to get your opinion.
Yes, the solar lights works pretty good. The Arlo's night vision tends to wash out at night. The Arlo lights actually will help a bit but not much and they are expensive.. I was able to purchase a 3 pack though for 99 bucks at Best Buy last week's sale... It is still en route but I'll be comparing the lights when the Ring lights comes out.
LifeHackster I bought the same 3 pack for $99 as well from Costco, but I think I’m returning it.. I think they would work well in a smaller confined area, but I need lighting to extend the length of my house in the back which is a much bigger area and the Arlo lights are just not bright enough. I’m ordering some of the solar lights and I’m hoping they will do the trick.🤞🏼
how long have you been using the solar powered motion lights on the side of your house and do you like them so far? i've been tinkering with mr beams and their different lights, the MB371 is the bang for the buck, has the most sensitive motion but a slightly dimmer led compared to others. i got them at home depot on clearance for $15/ea. mr beams i heard was bought out by ring, so ring is using the communicating technology to turn on other lights and activate video recording when one detects motion, such as driveway/walkway lights, etc.
I had them for a month now and they worked pretty good. I'm going to check out Mr. Beams in the near future but these solar lights are pretty decent and I don't have to deal with the batteries. Thanks for the info on Mr. Beams and Ring...now, I know why Ring named their upcoming outdoor lights "Ring Beams". I'm waiting for that also together with their indoor cams to come out.
Can you please link the mounting tape? I have the lights you show already for a long while now. Is the mounting tape rated for outdoors? Is it frost proof? Don't want all the lights to fall down during winter freeze!
The one that I used was an old one..probably more than 5 years ago or even more. I got it at Home Depot but here is a link at Amazon where they have some choices -> amzn.to/2QitVD5
And yes it was heavy duty and rated for outdoors. I had the lights for a month and have no issues yet.
LifeHackster does the weather go sub zero at your place? Just making sure I get versions where the lights don't fall off when the temp goes sub zero. Thanks.
Are you going to do an update video on the Ring battery spotlight cam? I bought a Argus 2 over the Ring (on your word sir!) and I have to say I'm impressed with the Argus 2. Quite a camera for a battery/solar powered job. On that same note, do you mix and match any of the Reolink wireless cams with your NVR and POE setup? Have you ever tried the wireless Reolink cams?
I bought the Argus 2 as well, and quite pleased with it so far. I have it on our shed facing the house, and with the solar keeping the battery charged is awesome - totally wire free!
As I am reading this and responding, I'm also finishing editing the video on my Ring spotlight cams which I will also include the battery version..I haven't tested the wireless Reolink cams that are hooked up with the NVR...I will look into that though. I told Reolink that whenever they will release their 4k NVR cameras to let me know and I will gladly review it. I will also do an Argus update soon...
I am looking for a motion sensor outdoor wall lamp that is dusk to dawn. I only want the light to come on when there is motion
Hi, what’s the heavy duty mounting tape did you use?
This is the important question we really need to know. Also hoping for a reply.
Hi, is there any affordable IR/infrared wireless lights? I have seen expensive only which surprise me cause it cost more than my Reolink Argus Eco, which by the way I happily bought thx to your reviews. Thank you.
I haven’t really checked on any IR wireless lights yet..nor I have seen one.. most of the IR lights that I have seen are wired.
how to contact you to test and review our solar light?
Is ring coming out with a new door bell camera in the near future? Bout to buy one but wanna wait if they are coming out with a new one soon.
I haven't heard anything yet. I'm still waiting for their indoor cameras and also their outdoor lights which is supposed to have been released this year.
LifeHackster thank you.
Do you use both amazon purchased floodlights on your house that are linked with the amazon description, which one of the two are brighter, if you could comment the link, thanks
If you are asking about the solar LED lights, the Lemontec brand seems brighter to me.
LifeHackster yes, I was asking about the LED lights, thank you now I’m confident in buying the lemontec solar lights. I bought mr beams 200 lm spotlight awhile back but returned them because it wasn’t enough light. Thank you again!
Hi I have the Arlo pro 2 cams. I want to put up some lights over my driveway to be able to have color view at night. How many lumens will be enough to achieve this? Can too much lumens wash out a person making them all white?
The pro2 will adjust if it is too bright...you do need to turn off night vision though to have color recording..
what is best heights for this, does the motion sensor gets sensitive when it is mounted higher or lower?
I installed it about 7-8 feet high.. It is designed to be mounted around that height because the sensor is pointed in an angle downwards.
@@LifeHackster i have installed it around 10 feet or little more and the downside is it will not lit the area well but it has a good range of sensing. Now i wonder will it detect further distance when its mounted lower or not. Maybe you know this otherwise i will try it someday
What’s your favorite solar motion light for above trash cans?
I have 3 solar Sunforce LED floodlights. 1500 lumens they work like a charm. You can get them at Costco for $40 pr $30 whem on sale
That is a good price for 30 bucks...it just needs electrical power though which I don't have in the sides of the house.
@@LifeHackster no they are rechargeable battery power and come with solar panel.

DLT Technology Wire Connect has home lightning system and installation including the ring system and phone set up with tutorial one price
What do u think of smart. maximus coach light
I reviewed the toucan model and I’m still using it.
Oh, what is the tape you used for the brick? I have brick as well.
I can't remember the brand because I had it for more than 5 years lol...but I bought it from Home Depot then. I searched Amazon and they have these -> amzn.to/2NAdZ0w
Thank you.
I heard Ring bought me beams or is partnering with them. Supposed to be releasing mr beams lighting that integrates with the Ring security system. No ETA on when it will be available yet.
Yes, they have planned to release this together with their indoor cameras but nothing yet. Hopefully, they will release it before the end of the year.
@First Name Technically lots of people own Mr. Beams since Amazon is a publicly traded company and Amazon own Ring which bought Mr. Beams. Also your profile picture sucks lol.
Are these lights still working good for you. The longer LED solar powered lights you showed first in the video?
Yes, they are,
Thanks. Which band did you go with? I see so many the same style and I’m sure they are all the same or come from the same place? Do you remember how many LED’s yours has as well?
Do these lights just say on when the sun goes down? I just want the light to be on all night and turn off in the day. Which Light should i buy. NO NEED FOR SOLAR.
When is Wyz going to come out with a outdoor camera?
I haven't heard anything yet...but I'll definitely check it out when they release it.
We appreciate that...really enjoy all your reviews
Thank You.
With the Mr beams battery operated lights you'll spend more on batteries then light bill. Not a good option
Lights are a great nighttime deterrent however you're incorrect as most burglaries happen during the daytime hours while people are at work.
Not in my neighborhood especially car break ins happen at the wee hours in the mornings and there are a lot lately -> ruclips.net/video/jujXMMGdeOo/видео.html
You're house looks like mine in Texas
Yes, houses here in Texas kinda looks the same...
Are ring floodlight cam got smashed by a crowbar
I tell you no one is even gonna attempt a burglary at this joint, only if they are extremely stupid or wish to appear on caught on camera!
:)
Found the link. Sorry
No problem.
I have trouble with lights that keep going on and off.
I was very disappointed with my RING Doorbell. It had to be charged more times than it was on its mount. Personally, I would not recommend any RING products..
Sorry to hear that.
But why didn't you give a recommendation? I liked the video otherwise.
I usually will let the viewers decide...on this video though, I use all of them except for the Mr Beams which I haven't tested.
I thought most burglaries happened during the day. 🤷🏻♂️
Not where I live...
You look like the rock
Overkill
