Hi,
Are there "goto" motion sensitive lights I can use to help my cameras out? I'm thinking primarily outdoor, but also indoor. Relatively discreet/nice would be idea, due to WAF...

Note that one of my outdoor use cases is for a downlighter in my carport.


Regards,
Dave
 
I do not use motion lighting. When the lights come on the camera is blinded by the lights for a few seconds. Use permanent lighting.
 
One of my fisheye cameras is mounted below a led yard light and been working good over 10 years now. Replaced it's cheap motion sensor with a RAB 180 degree sensor (pretty flawless detection). Also built custom led white down light cans using very low lumen chips (camera needs very little) and only draw a few ma so they run 24/7 (over 10 years now).

The down lights are located about 10ft one the left and right of garage doors seen in pic.
