Someone Invented Just What We Were Looking For!

Kuna lights are easy to install as a replacement for existing outdoor lighting fixtures, and we were in desperate need of an upgrade anyway. The smartphone interface is excellent and very easy to use. We started with one, and now have four! Easy to install on Wi-Fi. We have one installed more than 50 feet away, and three of them the Wi-Fi have to go through multiple walls. The only thing we did a little differently was to wire them up to an old extension cord in the same room as the Wi-Fi access point to logon the first time and set the password. Don't know if we needed to do that, but we found in the past sometimes the first time a device mates with the Wi-Fi access point it does it better if it's close at hand. They work well with CFL bulbs. The smartphone interface has lots of features--audio alert on your phone, talk with someone at the door, turn the light on/off, play pre-set message, sound an alarm, go back and view video clips from the motion-activated sensor, and more! Limitations: No night vision mode. So at night you only see as far as there is light from the lamp, unless you live someplace with lots of outdoor lighting. It only saves clips activated by the motion sensor, not continuous video. So for example, one mounted on the front of the house or garage will not capture 24 hours of activity on the street in front of your house, but will just save people walking up within range.

Fantastic Light and Security Feature

Description, accessories, photograph, website presentation, and what arrived are the same-size, shape, color, and it matched my expectations. The product(s) arrived on time, as described by Amazon & manufacturer, it was shipped without issue, arrived within prescribed estimates, the packaging was undamaged, and the product itself was unmolested and made with quality materials. Great light, great product, and easily installed for a moderately skilled electrical DIY'er! I had an existing light, so I did no wiring etc., just unhooked and then connected the right wires as explained via the instructions. I recommend, especially if you've never done something like this before, watch as many video's as you can stand, make sure the power is off, if you can't find the right one, well, turn the whole house off then! The only complaint, and not enough of one to downgrade it, is the app. Live video goes in and out with updates, not that reliable regarding the live feed, and the notifications are a bit off...again, not enough to downgrade the rating or to recommend another product, notifications are enough that it's not too much of an inconvenience for the person waiting, and the recordings are not impacted by the app, recordings are clear, great video, and once you find out your needs, sensitivity wise, and range, the quality of video improves and the number of times it is erroneously activated is reduced to an acceptable level. I don't have a subscription and my needs are easily met, I think it's great, I can access it from anywhere, and the programmed responses are fantastic for my kids if they're home alone and they can get rid of people using them or the alarm if someone refuses to leave.

Arguably a better choice than Ring... read on

I read several positive and negative reviews before pulling the plug and purchasing three of these. Installation: The basic connection is the same as any other exterior wall mounted light so not much to say there. Kuna does provide a tool to help you set the length of the mounting screws, though I found on all three lights that the screws needed to be set out a bit more than the tool set them at. They also provide a handy hanger so the light can hang while you connect the electrical. A word of advice, if your exterior is rough (stucco) then you might want to temporarily place a towel over the fixture to prevent scratches while it's hanging. I did and I'm certain it would have been badly scratched if I hadn't. Set up: Connecting to my Wi-Fi via the app was super easy. After you connect, don't even bother with the device's app settings. The first thing you need to do is update the firmware. This will take 10 minutes or so and I found if you close the app while it's doing this that it stops, causing you to start over again. I noticed too that the app says it's updating even after it's really done. If you close the settings for that camera and then go back in it then says Firmware Up To Date. So Kuna, please fix this. It occurred on all three devices so it's not me. After the update I made my preference settings. Post Set up: The default sensitivity is set to 95. I had to play with it a bit to get my side garage and front door lights to not give false detection. I cannot figure out what was setting of the side light other than some fruit trees swaying in the wind. I ended up setting my front one to 89 and my side to 90. I've not had one false alert since doing this and it always kicks off when someone is there. Another note to Kuna here. The slider for sensitivity has a range of 0 to 100. You can have a nervous breakdown trying to get the thing to stay on the setting you want. It's too sensitive for the scale. When you lift your finger it tends to change from the desired setting. I also question the need for a 0 to 100 scale since I suspect you'll never go lower than 85 or above 95. Maybe a 0 to 20 scale would be sufficient plus the ability to directly type in a setting number? Also, please, please, please add a switch in the app to quickly turn detection off. I'm having guests over this weekend and I don't want the back yard detection going off and recording every few minutes. I can turn off the notifications, but it will still be recording videos like crazy, which would be eating up your server space!. I also don't want to just power it off. Additional: Their price plan is not as competitive as Rings. Ring is $10/month for 6 month video storage for unlimited devices. They also warranty your devices for life under this plan with free replacement. Kuna on the other hand only gives you 14 days video storage for $9.99 for only 4 devices. To get this price you pay annually, otherwise it's $14.99/month. Yes, initial cost is $100 less than a ring, but I think you can do MUCH better with these plans. I hope you're reading this Kuna. Kuna did add Artificial Intelligence (AI) this Wednesday, but you only get it if you're on their $240/year Ultimate plan (can you say OUCH? $240, really????)). They say it will be available with the $9.99 plan in the next couple of weeks. Their AI will detect cars and people. It sounds like they are trying to develop this technology even further, so they got Ring beat in this area... for now. HOWEVR, I suspect there will be additional cost for the AI to be added to the plan. I don't see anything on their website regarding AI and its cost. I have the Ultimate Plan for the 2-week trial, but the AI doesn't work with that, which makes no sense to me. Coming back to cost... if AI will cost more then these plans will be exceedingly expensive given what you get in comparison to Ring's plans...IMHO. Overall I'm very satisfied, though I only got my last camera light installed yesterday. Only time will tell how they will perform over the long haul. My main complaint is plan cost. Also, I don't know if it's Amazon or Kuna, but pricing has been all over the map this week. I paid $158 each. Then the next day the same ones were $179. Today they're $149 (not too happy about that). Set the darn price and leave it! The companion lights were $129 when I bought my camera lights and now they're $79. I'll be buying two of them soon. One last word to Kuna... I think your selection of lights is perfect when it comes to style. However, can you please make a post mount light in the same styles? I have four more lights mounted to stucco fence posts in my front yard. Finding similar lights to match will be difficult to impossible. I'll happily buy four more if you make them.

Das is goot

Very good. I almost gave it four stars because it doesn't massage feet......... The images and video are good quality. SEE IMAGES. I annotated how far each person from directly in front of the camera. Motion sensing is good. No alerts have been sent due to the palm or tree branches blowing in recent storms. I initially reduced motion sensing to 80% but have put it back to 100% since the only thing that triggers an alert is a person walking up or large bus. Small passing cars and people walking on the side walk are not a problem. Some one will have to be walking to your door for it to send an alert, as you can see in my pic it took a slow large school bus to get that alert. Your alert will have a lag. By the time you answer it from your phone the person or raccoon will have been at the door for maybe 15 seconds. I have one account ((the basic) that I share with my wife's Iphone.....I hates the Iphone, i have android . The interface to each device is simple to use and intuitive. You got to be a real monkey to not understand it. I would like a feature to play my own pr- recorded sound files but they only give you what they give you ....first world problems. I Watching live video will eat you data like a snack.....if you dont have a 12G+ plan and watch it all the time you will pay with your ass. The bulb I use a 100W (florescent) they say to use less.....I want to see the world when it comes on. SO in order to reduce the glare I'm adding a small piece thin black plastic to cover the bottom. I tested this by attaching it with tape worked like charm and no one will notice it Installation was practically nothing. over it under 5 minutes. Once the unit was powered I followed the app instructions and BAM!...done....added wife...BAM!..done. The basic plan should be good enough for anyone. if you think your gona be watching your live feed and play back all you videos ...you'll get over that the first day. it records 2 hours worth of clips. Each clip is ~ 1 minute..........tis alot of clips.

Paid for its self within a week! Highly recommend for every home owner!

I have only had Kuna set up for 4 days and it has already seemed to pay for its self! Just as advertised in their video I was sitting at work and got a notification and some sketchy guy was standing at my door step with no one home.. as soon as I asked how I could help him, he almost jumped outta his pants.. he said he was looking for someone.. as soon as I told him no one with that name lives here he quickly said ok and looked like he couldn't get off my property fast enough! Seriously seemed like it was straight outta Kunas product video! I was going to wait to review but after that happened I already couldn't be happier with the product! Super easy install, only took me 10 minutes to swap lights, app installed and camera was synced in about the same amount of time! App is very easy to navagate and configuring the camera settings! Highly recommend for every home owner!

Kuna and the light bulb bandit.

Kuna light is easy to install and link to my iPhone and it looks great. After I installed the kuna kight fixture after only one night i caught an individual aproach my home at 1:30 am with a sock on his hand he climbed my stairs and stole my light bulb. And he stole several more in my neighborhood with video i had we posted this on facebook many people saw the video . The story was picked up by a local radio station whose dj was also a victim of this creepy man it was then broadcast on wbz tv 4 in boston this thief is now known as the "charlestown light bulb bandit" if you google this charlestown light bulb bandit you can see the video. Well done kuna i will be installing more of these light at the other entrances to my house.

Best security light camera on the market for 2016

These security lights are fantastic. We originally bought one from Kuna directly for $199. It was worth it. Then we bought our second from Amazon for sale $179. This is the best security product we have purchased in years. The camera is clear and has a great view angle. The app that goes with Kuna or Toucan make this security light camera the best we have seen. We have owned Dropcam, Nest Cam and a Belkins HD Cam. Kuna out does them all. The real benefit is the 15 seconds of saved recording before the sound or motion activation. With my other security cameras, I would miss the action because when it started recording the action/motion already passed by. This really bad with Nest Cam. The sound recordings are also very clear as well as the speaker on the Kuna. The delivery mam told us the speaker is very clear and one of the better ones he has heard. Now for the negatives, it is hardwired so it needs a outside light fixture. Night vision is okay without the light on but with the light on it's great. I would highly recommended the Kuna for your front door and rear porch lights. Oh I forgot about the voice activation sounds. The Kuna has prerecord messages which will play when the motion or sound activations. It even has holiday messages too. The kids loved the ghost sounds during Halloween. Update, we now have owned the Kuna Security Cameras for over 6 months, we still love them. Our only other complaint is cleaning the lens and inside the light fixture because of spiders and the bugs in their webs. We would like to see more styles of Kunas with enclosed light bulb and different styles of finishes (Brush Nickel and Vintage Brass, HINT HINT Kuna CEO) especially since we would like to give Kunas away as presents to our family members.

Smart Security Porch Light by Kuna is a Winner

I chose the Maximus security porch light with video camera and speaker by Kuna over the Ring doorbell. It was a very good decision. I'm very happy with the quality, features and stylish good looks of Kuna's Maximus porch security light. It was simple to change out my old porch light, which was looking a little tired anyway, and replace it with the new smart security porch lamp. I'm a woman in my 60s and I did it in about 15 minutes. Kuna provides very clear instructions and also a short video showing each step. Easy peazy. The quality of the Kuna video is excellent and the speaker is clear, crisp and loud. I read earlier reviews that were critical of the quality of the night video but mine works just fine at night. The security porch light provides plenty of lighting for a sharp video of my porch which is what I'm most interested in but also I can see my front lawn and driveway with just the lighting provided the street lamp near my driveway. The Kuna app is amazing. As soon as anyone approaches my front door a chime sounds and then my cellphone chimes immediately afterwards alerting me that there's someone on my porch. The Kuna app gives me the opportunity to speak directly to the visitor or to play some prerecorded messages in a man's voice (nice when you're an old lady living alone), or play a very realistic barking dog (that's a hoot). If you see someone on your security camera that doing something sketchy like looking in your window you can push a button on the app to sound a 100db alarm or even call 911. I haven't had to try those options but it's nice to know they're available. The video camera height on the porch lamp is much more pleasing then a doorbell camera pointing at someone's belt buckle. And the Kuna video recording starts 10 seconds before the activation chime so you get some good footage of the person approaching your porch. You can see them clearly without distortion. This could come in handy identifying package thieves that just run up to your porch and grab a package and then beat feet thinking that by the time the camera comes on you'll just record the south end of a northbound thief. I signed up for the $4.99 / mo video storage with unlimited downloads of footage to my cellphone. I think Kuna's price is very reasonable but if you don't want to pay a fee, Kuna gives you two hours after each alert to look back at your recording. You get three free downloads to your cellphone each month and unless you live in crime central that should be enough. I don't understand when people complain about paying for extra video storage because of course having that opportunity is going to come at a price but it's not mandatory to pay any costs after your initial purchase it's an added feature they offer to those that are interested. In short, the Maximus smart security porch light with video is a great addition to your home security at a very reasonable cost. I paid $179. The video and speaker quality is excellent and the Kuna app is clever and easy to use. I high recommend it!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVE MY KUNA!

I LOVE my Kuna! I've recommended to several of my co-workers already and even they installed several around their property. It replaced our ugly dated original brass light fixture. It comes with a hanging hook so if you are handy, a single person can install by themself. My husband and I both had to do it, cause where not handymen. Kuna has great customer support, they picked up on the first Ring, regardless of what previous comments say about email only support. That is NOT true. In the beginning there was a 10 minute lag time for the feed to notify my phone of activity. But after some troubleshooting with Kuna, the problem was easily corrected. Toggle alerts on & off/ re-install app, usually does the trick. I set my sensitivity to 85%, to avoid catching all the wind signals. First night the camera already picked up neighbor's cat snooping around. I finally found out why there is fur all over our back yard. I feel so much safer and confident about package deliveries, with the Kuna. I've only used the free services so far since the area it monitors is NOT heavy traffic. They have extra smart features that can recognize people, pets, cars and gets smarter with use ad time, for a monthly fee. The 2 way audio clarity is excellent, The panic alarm set to volume 100% can wake the whole neighborhood. Even though it doesn't have night vision, you can by pass by leaving the light on all night or having it turn on upon event trigger, so either way you get clear video capture. The #1 response I get when sharing with friends, is that they are impressed by the video clarity. Break in prevention monitoring products like these are so much more affordable than being tied to a 2 year contract for a company to call you when their sensors pick up a attempted break in. By then it's too late, someone already tried to tamper with your window or door. These camera's hopefully allow you to intervene and scare off intruders before they try anything.

Amazing security product for the price / performance

Excellent Product. It is a fine addition to my security arsenal. The camera is 720p and with the night light the camera records perfectly better than infrared at night. I do have excellent street lamps as well outside. People are complaining about detection but it requires some setting up and new software is coming that will make it even better. For now the first version of software is working very well. I've had the camera for a couple of months now and it solves some interesting problems for me. It's a great deal for the price. The free service is just that a rolling window of video that gets wiped out after about two hours. But if you get an alert within that window and you want to save it you can download it to your device with no fear of deletion. The service is cheap enough if you want unlimited downloads, insurance against theft of the device and a good enough window before deletion. It's a week or a month depending on the plan.
