Stepping Into The 21st Century

Do your outdoor cameras have headlights? A lot I see here, as I walk in my neighborhood and my son’s neighborhood, have 1 or 2 little lights that turn on as soon as movement is detected.

Seems to me that a trespasser who didn’t notice the camera, has now had his attention drawn to it and knows exactly where it is. Deterrent? Maybe. Knows what avoid/thwart/ disable? Maybe.

What kind of cameras did you get? What’s the thinking here?

I went with what the IT guru son in law recommended for the clueless & got the wireless Blink. I went with night vision capabilities instead of having an external light for the reasons you mentioned. 

So far it’s a relatively simple process to get things up and running
