The camera is no different than their regular V3 if you are familiar with those. It has a nice wide field of view. The HD isn't clear enough to read a license plate, but plenty of detail for whatever else you need. Look at review pictures on Amazon if you want to see the clarity. I have this setup on a front corner of my house. The only problem I have is that headlights coming down the street at night trigger the motion sensing. I've got the street zoned out of the detection area, so I'm just talking about the headlight wash going across the yard.
For the floodlight itself, you can have it activate via the camera motion sensing, or it's own PIR (radar type) sensing. Due to headlights, I have mine set to PIR motion only, which works out to about 20ish feet. Deer, cats and an opossum have activated the flood PIR motion sensing. You can dim the lights 0-100%. I'd say mine have a 1-2 sec delay between sensing motion and turning on. PIR sensor detects motion 270°. I can't completely verify that because I have a downspout blocking a little of it.
I have four Wyze cams and a Reolink. I think they all have quirks you have to learn. Wyze are good cameras for slightly above newbie level and great bang for your buck. They aren't perfect and do have little annoyances. Btw, the Pro video quality is only slightly better. I wish they could produce some 5mp cameras for a good price.

I am not able to view the Eufy camera live feed or images about 30% of the time when I'm out of the home, while I'm able to view the WyzeCams 100% of the time. Even at home on the same wifi, establishing a secure video channel takes ages, and by the time I try to view a camera, whatever event I'm trying to see has moved out of view. The video recording list is often spotty or missing footage, and only when I refresh the video footage page several times, will it actually show all the footage. Sometime even after that, it's impossible to bring up a footage to view, constantly getting errors in the app instead of showing the video.
The Eufy video stream is also super sluggish when viewing, and takes ages to download to my phone to view the video. Consequently I mostly stopped viewing the Eufy cameras and use Wyze most of the time. I do have several Eufy's that I still use in some areas but they are more of a backup vs the Wyze.
I applaud the concept of the Eufy, but in execution it's very sluggish to use and much more tedious than Wyze.
