Picked up the ieGeek Floodlight Camera (5MP) a few weeks ago for my backyard, and I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. Install was simple — wired it into the old floodlight spot, scanned the QR code to set it up, and had it up and running on the app right away.

Video quality is really clear, both day and night. The motion sensor and floodlight work great — at night it lights up instantly when something moves, and it catches details really well. I even grabbed a couple motion snapshot of my dog just to test it. Hoping to maybe catch critters that like to sneak in my back yard. 

App setup was smooth and I like that it works with Alexa, has 2-way audio, and can record 24/7 to an SD card (I added a 64 GB micro SD) so you’re not stuck paying for cloud storage.

The only real con for me is that my WiFi signal in the backyard isn’t super strong, so once in a while I miss motion alerts. Will look into getting an extender or boost to help with that. Other than that, it’s been doing the job exactly how I hoped.

Features I’ve liked so far:
- 5MP video clarity
- Color night vision
- Motion-activated floodlight + siren
- 2-way audio
- 24/7 recording (SD card or cloud)
- Alexa compatibility

Pics added for anyone curious:
- Night w/ floodlight off (standard night vision)
- Night w/ floodlight on (color mode)
- Daytime snapshot motion alerts capturing my dog

Overall, it’s been a great budget-friendly option if you want a reliable wired floodlight cam without paying monthly fees.
