Floodlight Camera – The WiFi Solution that Protects Your Home

It has been a while since we put a spotlight on our ONE Nova Floodlight Camera (see what we did there?!). It is a WiFi solution that everyone should consider for their home. We want to do an updated highlight of this product as we want you to consider the level of outdoor protection it can bring to your property.

Consider the motion-activated floodlight. This is a time-tested solution for people’s outdoor security. These lighting solutions use basic motion detection to trigger the floodlights. Along with that, they are designed to both light the way for homeowners and ward off intruders.

Outdated motion-triggered floodlights overlook countless garages, side yards, back patios and backyards in residential neighborhoods. They are so commonplace that we oftentimes don’t even realize they are there. That is, until they flash on after the sun has gone down. This is when they make their most potent impression.

We figured, if people are already comfortable having this type of security device on their home exterior, couldn’t we optimize this experience? The device presents an opportunity for LaView to add a camera component to elevate the security standards of any home. It was a logical step as people clearly install the basic version (no camera) for their exterior security. This adds a sense of peace of mind as they know this works as a crime deterrent.

Let’s look at the upgraded features of the ONE Nova Floodlight Camera and consider what that means for your property.

 ONE Nova WiFi Floodlight Camera – Spec Overview

The ONE Nova doesn’t just slap on a camera component onto a basic motion-triggered floodlight. What we offer is a crime-deterring surveillance solution that can protect huge portions of your property’s exterior with just a single unit.

The ONE Nova does this by including the following industry-leading features all in one WiFi camera solution:

As you look down the list of top-tier security camera features on this unit, you can see that this is anything but a basic floodlight solution. It combines the clarity of HD viewing with the comfort of crime deterring features that you won’t find on many other security solutions.

Let’s take a closer look.

Floodlight Camera – High Definition Viewing

The obvious upgrade from a basic floodlight is the camera component. That is the whole reason we’re here, talking about the ONE Nova!

The camera features HD 1080P resolution with a self-adaptive WDR lens. That means you will have 2MP clarity at all times as the camera can adapt to harsh exposure to sunlight. Conversely, if lighting becomes too dim during the day (ie. heavy cloud layer rolls in), the camera will also adapt to maintain image quality.

2MP image quality means you have over 2 million individual pixels making up each image captured by the camera. Along with that, you have the convenience of transmitting the clear, crisp image to you smartphone via WiFi. All you have to do is download the free LaView ONE app and you can view livestream as well as playback footage from your HD Floodlight Camera.

The camera uses WiFi for more than just that. It uses your existing wireless network as its main source of video output. This means you only need to run a power cable from the camera to an outlet. Other than that, the camera requires no network cable for wireless connectivity.

Floodlight Camera – Upgraded Detection Abilities

One problem with your basic outdoor floodlight is that it uses basic motion detection. Along with that, you may be subject to false alarms in your detection. That means that you’ll have your bright lights flashing on when cars drive by or other inanimate object move (like tree branches in the wind). This is cause for concern, because if you see your floodlight flash on from inside the house, you may think you have cause to peek out the window to see who/what is there.

The problem compounds even further when you don’t see anyone there. This could cause concern as you think there could be an intruder hiding in the bushes at the sight of the floodlights. Or, even worse, they could be finding a different way to access your home.

This is not a problem when you have a camera component attached. When the camera detects motion, you can opt to have it send you a mobile push notification, and you can start streaming your footage right from your phone.

Where this elevates even further is the camera’s use of PIR. This is thermal detection that only picks up the movement of humans and large animals. That means your floodlight function, push notification function and anything else that you set to happen (we’ll get to those features later on the page) only when there’s significant motion in the camera’s range.

Speaking of range, the camera uses PIR thermal detection in 270° around the camera. That means a single ONE Nova can cover nearly your entire entrance area if you place it above your garage.

Floodlight Camera – Deterrence

This is probably the most important area for a floodlight camera. You want to make sure that your deterrence standards are up to par.

We have included 3 things that make sure you have the power to secure your home as well as deter potential intruders.

Firstly, and most obviously, you have the ultra-bright LED lamps that flash on with PIR themal motion.

The LEDs feature:

• 2500LM brightness.
• 3000K color temperature.
• 80 CRI

These floodlights will flash on and not only deter criminals as they are unexpected, but also draw attention to the area. This can be crucial for neighbors to see if you are not home.

Secondly, on the audio side of things, the ONE Nova is equipped with an optional 100db alarm. This shrill, extremely loud, alarm sound will send any potential perpetrator running. Like the lamps, this will also draw attention to the area.

The alarm can be turned off or on in the camera settings, or you can schedule it to only be active at certain times of the day/night.

Finally, also on the audio side of things, are the built-in mic and speaker for two-way audio. This allows you to have direct contact with any person near the floodlight camera.

If you are dealing with porch pirates or car thieves like in the video below, you can tell them to get lost.

When you get a mobile push notification, if you have two-way audio active, you can speak directly into your phone and communicate with whomever is there.

Beyond warding off criminals, you can also use it to communicate with family members or visitors who show up on your app. This brings convenience right to your fingertips.

The ONE Nova Floodlight Camera gives you total coverage and total control of your security standards. Check back as we add more info and updates to this camera!
