Lighting the exterior of your home is just as important as lighting its interior, especially considering the impact this has on your security. Luckily, there’s a new smart motion security light here to provide the necessary illumination to help you monitor outside activity and hopefully prevent break-ins. Meet the Maximus Camera Floodlight, an adjustable floodlight featuring a Wi-Fi camera and two-way speaker, allowing you to keep an eye on your surroundings and communicate with relevant parties.

Originally debuted at CES in January of this year, the Maximus promises a wide detection range and the ability to send real time alerts to your smartphone. By tapping into live power from within your home, the Camera Floodlight is able to deliver convenient and consistent home monitoring, including smart event detection, advanced alerts, and a live 1080p video feed. Capable of detecting movement within an impressive 70 feet either in the front or back of your home, the device will sent you a smartphone notification through the Kuna mobile app should it come across anything suspicious.
