Product Description

The SmartGuard motion light with security camera protects you and your loved ones 24 hours a day and is quick and easy to install. The 180° motion sensor can detect movement more than 30 feet away. Once motion is detected the powerful 300 watt halogen floodlight immediately lights up the area. Then one of the three audio recordings warns intruders that they are not welcome. At the same time, the built-in color video camera records the entire incident on a removable 1GB SD card, which can be removed and video played back on any computer. This allows you to identify the intruder and send the video to the police or your insurance company if needed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Detection good but camera has low resolution, August 28, 2008

The unit has good motion detection and that is about all. The instructions do not work for the unit setup so you have to call Support. Support is good however. The really bad thing is the camera resolution. My three year old cell phone camera has better resolution. The video is washed out if the subject wears a white or light colored shirt. Anything within 8 feet or so is washed out. Beyond 12-15 feet the video poorly renders the subject.

This motion light is great!! Not only that it turns on the light when it detects motion, it also records a video clip on an SD card. Not an HD video, but good enough to identify the intruder and see the sorroundings.
You can choose to have 2 different warning voice announcement or a barking sound. You can select to have either the light, video and sound during the day and/or night.
It has 3 AAA batteries as time stamp and video recording backup in case of power failure.
It has a red LED indicator to let you know when the batteries are low.
It has another indicator light to tell you the status of the SD card.
Super easy instructions (someone said something negative about the instructions on another review. Maybe they had an old version or "something").
Good quality materials and craftsmanship.
I hightly recommend it. Instead of just spending the money on a simple motion light, you can get video and sound features.
The only issue that I had is they do not supply software for Widows Vista 64-bit.
I had to use my old laptop with XP to set up the correct date and time.
The program that came in the SD card is setup_1109 for Windows XP, but you can go to their website and download the one for Vista. Unfortunately this program is only for Vista 32 bit and not for my new computer wich uses Vista 64 bit.
This program that contains the driver is used to set up the correct date and time. Without it, the unit will still record the same way, but is going to show the incorrect date and time on the video clip.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great light for home security with decent video, February 21, 2010

I have owned this light for 1 year now and i am very happy with it.Setup time was about an hour,and everything went smooth.I wanted to wait on my review to see how happy i was with this,and i can say that this is a great home security defense item to have.This device has a real good halogen light on it,and comes with a powerful 500 watt light in it.It also have 3 preset audio announcements with a built in speaker as well.A dog barking,warning you our trespassing,or another greeting which i can't remember off hand.The best feature on this though is the low profile video camera built into it.Its right above the PIR sensor and it works great.Once you setup the date(I recommend a laptop to set the date/time) you put in the SD card and it'll start recording 20 second video clips.
So when your out and not home this will record anything that sets of the sensor.The videos our decent as well, and records in 640x480 AVI format.You can use windows media or realplayer to play it back.I actually use a Linux OS and use totem movie player,which lets me take pictures from the video.All in ALL i recommend this light and you won't go wrong with it,once you get it installed & running properly.It comes with a 1 gb SD card ,but i highly recommend a 2gb card so you'll get at least 30 days recording out of it.
