Abstract: Some aspects of the present embodiments provide a plurality of exterior lighting devices that are communicatively linked and capable of simultaneous (or near simultaneous) activation. At least a subset of the lighting devices may have cameras that enable live viewing (and/or later viewing of recorded footage) of the area around each lighting device (e.g., by the property owner, by law enforcement, or by any other authorized person or entity), and speakers that are capable of providing live verbal warnings (and/or automatic audible warnings) to intruders. Some of the present embodiments may enable the user to remotely control the light and/or sound emitted from the lighting devices.
