What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
Floodlight Cam Pro (2nd Gen) was checked against exact manufacturer identity and support, current U.S. price, power and compatibility, event or continuous recording, local or cloud storage, independent testing and bounded owner evidence.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner discussion returns to junction-box fit, light-zone behavior, night image, upload bandwidth, software changes and replacement experience rather than a universal security outcome.
These are self-reported experiences from different houses, approaches, mounting heights, light, weather, networks, wiring, batteries, solar exposure, routers, storage, plans, accounts, firmware, settings, notification clients and local rules. They identify checks to run and do not establish identification, detection, deterrence, crime, response, reliability, privacy, evidence or failure rates.Owners discuss junction boxes, light triggering, 4K quality, missing or changed software functions and replacements. Reports cannot establish a defect rate.
Confirm the junction box and switch behavior before purchase, then test light zones separately from camera zones and export clips from the darkest approach path.
