Porch light brightness

The built-in lights are widely described as helpful for color night video and as a visual deterrent that signals the camera is active. Some reviewers wish the lighting direction/coverage were different, and several note that using lights more aggressively can reduce battery life.

The entry/porch light is usually described as helpful but not extremely bright. Some see it as a useful convenience and mild deterrent, while others consider it underpowered compared to dedicated porch lighting.

The built-in light can be useful for color night video and door visibility, and brightness can be adjusted. Reviewers also warn that higher brightness can be harsh or draw extra attention, especially when used continuously.
