I'll be showing you night vision footage comparison between the following wifi security cameras...I just installed all the cameras in a row mostly so that it will be easy for me to setup one camera to the other but on testing, all other cameras were either turned off or removed so that it will not skew with the footage especially their LED lights.

So we have the Ring spotlight cams which I'll show footage from my wired one and also the battery one... I did this to show the enhanced night vision from the wired cam and the regular black and white from the battery...I was surprised though when I did the test ...well, I'll just show you all later on...

I also tested the Yi outdoor cam, the Reolink Argus 2, Arlo Pro 2, Blink XT, and the Nest outdoor cam...So, I have a sampling of almost all big named brands of WiFi cameras.

I did a couple of tests... one is just the regular black and white night vision and the other one is with my LED floodlight turned on lighting up my backyard with 2000 lumens and 5000 kelvin color temp... this LED floodlight only uses up 21 watts...so you can actually turn this on everynight without making a dent to your electric bill... You will see later on the difference between regular black and white night vision and color night vision which I've been preaching since last year...

I placed cones as markers in my backyard from 5, 10, 20 and 30 feet. I'll be coming from the right side so as to make sure I trigger the motion sensor and will stop at these distances so that you will be able to see the difference on the clarity between these cameras.
