I guess I am going to get shot down in flames for this question, but I got to try.
A bit of a newbie to all this security camera stuff, I have a pc running Blue Iris and I ran a couple of cables down the outside of the house to put two cameras at the front of our two story house, and it was a pain.
I do have external lights all over the house, the type controlled by a light switch in the house.
Are there any cameras that I could replace the lights with, maybe with motion sensing lights of their own?
This would save running more cables outside and I could have cameras all around the house?
I guess they would have to be wireless, or use the power cable/wifi adapters maybe? I have some wifi cameras inside and have no issues streaming with them, and think I have them secure enough now.
If they had their own motion sensing lights or IR lights, that would be ideal.
Does such a device exist? Just thought I would ask before I fall off the roof running more cables and buying more POE equipment.
Thanks for any and all advice.
