Two more economical floodlight security camera products offered by Ezviz, Ezviz LC1 and LC1C floodlight cameras. how can they compete with more popular Arlo floodlight cameras and Amcrest?
What these products do
Floodlight outdoor security camera is getting more popular today, a combination of outdoor security camera plus floodlight to illuminate your yard with bright LEDs light to render color night vision and to deter unwelcome guests when triggered by motion detection.
Ezviz with its floodlight camera models of Ezviz LC1 and LC1C come with a pair of floodlights on the left and right side of the camera.
Ezviz floodlight provides bright light with color temperature around 3000 kelvin, equivalent to common light produced by household light bulbs which is ideal light condition for capturing image by the camera.
There are few differences in the floodlight models of each of these Ezviz camera series, for more details, we firstly discuss the specs differences between the two Ezviz series cameras.
Ezviz LC1 vs LC1C
For more details, the differences between the two camera series can be presented in the spec comparison table between these two camera series. Both camera series are equipped with the same 1080p @ 25 fps video resolution capability, as well as two-way audio with built-in Microphone and loudspeaker and the same wifi connection.
Floodlight
There is a difference of bright level of brightness (expressed in lumens) produced by each of the floodlight installed on each camera series. Floodlight installed on Ezviz LC1 series provides brightness light up to 2,500 lumens, while the LC1C floodlights provide about 2000 lumens, lower brightness than LC1.
The difference in light intensity produced by each series of floodlight may be related to the difference in the image sensor used by each camera series. LC1C, which is designed using a Starlight Image sensor, is more sensitive to the light it receives so that with the same ambient light intensity the Starlight image sensor absorbs more light than the image sensor in general.
If you compare it with Amcrest ASH26, see that ash26 also comes with 2,000lumens floodlights. Or you may compare it with Arlo Pro 3 that comes with 2,000~3,000 lumens floodlight. With battery powered, the floodlight intensity is 2,000lm, but with the additional Arlo outdoor magnetic charging can provide 50% brighter light up to 3,000lm.
