Amcrest SmartHome 1080p WiFi Outdoor Security Camera with Built-In Floodlight for Home Surveillance

Jordam: Alright, I’ve been using Amcrest products for several years now and let me tell you that with this floodlight camera, I am blown away. I love this thing so much and am so glad I got one.

This is one of the easier wiring installations I've done, mainly because it wires up exactly the same as a standard light (this also means if you're uncomfortable with the install, there are tons of videos you can find that walk through the installation of a light). One note which may be obvious to many but momentarily caught me off guard: when you turn back on the breaker and flip on the light switch, the actual light bulbs won't light up right away since you still need to configure the light (you do need to flip on the light switch to send power though). There's an...
