2K Light Bulb Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor Indoor, 360° Pan Tilt, Color Night Vision, Smart AI Motion Detection, Two-Way Audio, Wi-Fi Lightbulb Camera with Phone App

Easy set up and good camera for the price
A good camera with picture quality it’s easy to set up. It’s a perfect stealthy camera for the condo. I work at to install an outside light socket that has line of side of the dumpster so we can catch which individuals are leaving their trash outside of or behind the dumpster instead of in it.

Hot Garbage
Check out my first picture. If you buy one of these, this is what you’re going to see most often in the app, unless you have the camera mounted indoors, line of sight from the router, and 5ft. or less away.I bought mine around the Black Friday deals, leaving the cost of mine well in the single digits, so my expectations were low. I also checked out the other reviews and the quality of the images looked very impressive so I figured it was worth a shot.All I wanted was a camera that would reliably connect and give me a good picture of the craptastic corner of the living community in which I reside. I’ve got lots of undesirable things going on outside on a semi-regular basis and I live in Wisconsin so I just wanted something that I could use as a deterrent and also so I don’t have to go outside to see what is causing loud noises out there at any given time. It’s just too damn cold to be doing that all the time.Also, I’m a Network Engineer by trade and I’ve done some Cybersecurity work so I have to admit to being very skeptical putting a device that clearly cost a lot more to create, ship, market, and sell all the way from China than it costs inside my home network. Especially when the device uploads all of its’ data to the cloud and uses AI to determine and describe what is going on whenever an event is generated. I realize that any device you put inside your firewall can potentially transmit any data that it sees back to home base to be used in any manner they see fit. For that matter, devices can be used to remotely infiltrate your home network if that was their intent.As it turns out, none of these are concerns for me because the radios in this device are horrible. Mine’s mounted next to my front door, some 10 feet or so from my router, which is an AX1500. There’s a wall in between, and it’s mounted inside a light fixture, but the wall has no metal inside of it, just drywall and fiberglass and a tiny bit of wood, leading me to believe the metal in the fixture is what’s scrambling/blocking the signal just enough to make the camera unusable 80% of the time. I also tried extending out the socket it’s plugged into with one and then two socket extenders. Neither made a significant difference.If you look at picture #2 you can see the night vision and the image quality of this camera are both fantastic. That picture is also after it rained. The app leaves little to be desired; it doesn’t nag you unnecessarily to upgrade nearly as much as it could or make you buy a subscription, although the AI generated descriptions and cloud stored videos are super handy while you have the trial. I don’t have the need for all of that. The still photos that it takes when a motion event is detected after the trial period expires are completely useless. I suspect this is by design. This device has a lot of tech packed into a very small package that works pretty well with the glaring exception of the radios which could barely be any worse than they are.You should also understand how to turn off app notifications on your device before installing this one, as it will ping you every time motion is detected, which is literally dozens of times a day where I unfortunately reside. You’re not going to want to keep these turned on.If I lived in a house in the country, or maybe even the suburbs, that had just a little bit of traffic going on, AND I had some kind of wifi repeater or mesh device close by the device to pick up the signals off of this thing, it might be worth keeping; but for where I’m at and what I’m using it for this thing sucks. I gave it two stars because it might suit someone else’s use case as I’ve just described, but it certainly doesn’t suit mine. I’ve got a spare mesh router I could fire up just to get this thing possibly working and stable but I’d rather just return it and get one that has better radios and probably 5GHz to try in case the 2.4 doesn’t work like this one didn’t.Also just for comparisons’ sake I have up to 14 devices, including this one, concurrently attached to my home network and none of the others have issues with connectivity. It’s really too bad because the image quality, night vision, and motion detection are all pretty great.EDIT: This is now a 1-star item.First one stopped working completely, returned the first one, got replacement today. It’s even worse. Connected for a few minutes and then quit. This one at least still turns on but it won’t connect to the network.They get an A+ for cute packaging, though.Stay far, far away.
