Your choice between a battery-powered or wired floodlight camera should align with your home security needs and installation preferences. Models like the "Blink Wired Floodlight Camera" or the "Ring Floodlight Camera Wired Plus" offer robust solutions for those seeking a wired system, while battery-powered options like the "Nest Floodlight Camera Battery" cater to those preferring portability and ease of installation.

I have had both wired and battery-powered video doorbell or floodlight cameras, the battery powered though convenient is a hassle long term and will cost you more on batteries in the long run. Wired cameras or lights are more responsive, and less delays. It is a hassle if you do not have a pre-wired wall in your home, though thats why I developed the EnkiStar floodlight camera mount with plug-in capabilities. It gives you endless possibilities to mount any wired floodlight camera to your home.
