Light the entrances and dark corners with weatherproof lights, and aim them to help your cameras. What happens to your security when the power goes off? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Light entrances and dark corners. - Choose weatherproof fittings. - Motion sensors save power and alert. Quick answer Good lighting removes the cover thieves rely on and makes cameras more useful. Use weatherproof wall lights at doors and gates and flood lights for yards and dark corners. Motion-sensor lights save power and surprise intruders; solar lights suit places without wiring. Place and aim lights so they cover the camera's view without shining straight into the lens.
