All this is the best investment I have ever made in terms of security after our lake house was burgularized May of 2015.  

I tried the HD and Lowes motion lights, installed them, and then took them back the next weekend as not 100% reliable at all.

Then I got smart and purchased high end motion sensor lights and they are 100% reliable and plus installed LED floods and you cannot drive up on or walk on my property without these lights going off and lighting the property like it was daytime. Not cheap. but you have to pay for true quality.

270 degree - http://www.amazon.com/RAB-Lighting-STL200HW-Precision-Detection/dp/B000W41J9K/ref=pd_sim_328_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=310sl2rMqPL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1ZYRB91Q57KFFS5ZYXHB

Have the 270 degrees on ends of house and the 360 degree at every entrance.  Also great to walk out of the house and the lights illuminate or drive up late at night and multiple lights come on instead of coming home to a dark property.

Lights have a 10 year warranty, unheard of for motion sensor lights.

Then on top of the lights I installed a DIY home security system from Frontpoint, so easy, ordered the system, arrived in 3 days or so and installed and programmed in a little over an hour -- system is web and phone app based with a home panel as well. Then saved 20% on my homeowners insurance - hey every penny counts. Not cheap, but a very great piece of mind after being burglarized. Plus I have codes for the pest control, plumber, neighbors, cleaning service, etc and I receive an email and text when they arrive and another when they leave so know exactly how long there are in the house -- Guess what pest control was there for 5 minutes -- humm how do you do a 2 houses (main and boathouse) in 5 minutes impossible so the company received a phone call from a very unsatisfied customer.

Also just a word of advice even if someone is referred to you on this forum to provide services, buyers beware as the person might also be casing your house to come back later. -- Just sayin be careful.
