Philips Hue Secure Floodlight Camera review
Existing Philips Hue owners who want outdoor camera coverage that behaves like the rest of their lighting.
By Tom Calder · Price last checked 20 Sep 2026, 12:29 BST · price-tracked
The brightest camera unit here at 2250 lumens, and the only one that doubles as full Hue colour and scene lighting rather than a plain white floodlight — appealing if you already run a Hue system. Two things to weigh: it needs a Hue Bridge to work at all, roughly £50 more if you do not own one, and it detects motion using camera analytics rather than a PIR sensor, so it does not trigger as reliably in the dark as the PIR units on this page. The floodlight body is IP44; only the camera module is IP65.

- 2250 lm at 4000K, the highest output of any camera unit here, with full Hue colour and scene control
- Camera module is rated IP65 and runs at Class III safe extra-low voltage
- Behaves as part of an existing Hue system rather than as a separate security app
- Requires a Philips Hue Bridge to operate at all — budget roughly £50 more if you do not already own one
- The floodlight body is only IP44 (splash-resistant), so it wants an eave or overhang rather than full exposure
- Amazon's 'easy to install' wording is marketing — this is Class I earthed mains work that needs a competent electrician
Who shouldn't buy this
Skip it if you are not already invested in Hue — the Bridge requirement on top of the camera's own price makes little sense for a single outdoor light.
