LaView 4MP Bulb Security Camera 2.4GHz,360° 2K Security Cameras Wireless Outdoor Indoor Full Color Day and Night, Motion Detection, Audible Alarm, Easy Installation, Compatible with Alexa (2 Pack)

I recently purchased the LaView 4MP Bulb Security Camera (2-pack) and I have to say, I’ve been impressed. The 355-degree view combined with 360-degree swivel provides all the flexibility I need, allowing me to monitor large areas of both the front and back yard. The security camera is wireless, and simply screws into an existing standard light fixture, making it super easy to install and use. It does require you to leave the light fixture turned on to provide continuous power to the camera, but that just makes sense and it doesn’t seem to use much electricity. Just note, you may need a socket extender if the light fixture covers any part of the camera lens as that will negatively impact the infrared night vision, even if it’s just clear glass. But that was not a big deal as extenders can be purchases from Amazon at a reasonable price.One of the things that impressed me the most is the wide angle and clarity of the 4MP camera. It provides impressive full-color images during the day and at night, it can intelligently (or you can manually) switch between infrared or starlight color mode which makes it almost look like it’s still daytime outdoors. One quick thought on this point: For a bulb camera, don’t expect to get iPhone quality images; that’s not the purpose of this product. As a security camera, the goal is to capture the largest area possible with enough detail to be aware of what is taking place in your surroundings and this product delivers that in spades.The motion detection feature is well implemented. The sensitivity can be set to the appropriate level to prevent false positives or constant alerts in high traffic areas, and the human movement detection setting is fairly accurate and further helps cut down on false alarms. It’s fun watching this little camera track a person such as a delivery driver as they walk up to the front door and drop off a package. The camera actually rotates and pivots to keep the moving target in view. That’s a very nice feature to have. The camera can be set to constantly record or only record on a detection event. If you don't want to pay for cloud storage to store these videos and images, you will need to purchase a micro-sd card to install in the camera as local storage. Fortunately, LaView provides a reasonably priced bundle that includes these cards pre-formatted.The camera contains an led light ring that lights up any moving targets at night when motion is detected according to the users desired settings. The light can also be manually switched on from the phone app. It is adequately bright for the purpose of a security camera, but if you are intending to use this product in a light fixture that you depend on frequently, I would recommend against it as it will not be as useful as a replacement for a standard light bulb.As far as durability goes, the camera seems well-built and made of quality plastics. I’m not sure how long it would hold up if directly exposed to the elements with no cover above it as provided by most outdoor light fixtures on porches and balconies. Time will tell how well it holds up outside in general, but I hope it does since I’ve come to really like this product.I was able to set up the camera in no time at all using the included instructions, and the app for the camera is available on both Android and iOS. It is intuitive and very well designed, providing all the functionality I need from a security camera in this price range. I was thrilled to find that the app can send push notifications to the Apple watch. There are more features in this product that I haven’t covered in this review, but if what I’ve already mentioned isn’t enough to persuade you to give this product a try, then I’m not sure you really need a bulb camera. Overall, I cannot recommend this product enough.

LaView builds a very good value security camera. I gave it 5 stars because I couldn't give it a 4 with Amazon being a 5. But it probably deserves a 4.First, the quality is a 4. Amazon is a 5. I bought a 2 camera pack, and one was defective. Amazon stepped up and immediately replaced the defective camera, and made it easy. I reported the issue to LaView and didn't hear back from them.I will say the quality and features of LaViews light bulb camera are really good for the price. The video quality is excellent. The features are also really good. The camera comes with a printed manual and includes a separate set up manual. The camera is very easy to set up, and the set up process is very user friendly. Zooming in on a recorded video works excellent, you can stop the video for a still picture, and video quality is excellent.I've used the motion detection app on the camera, and it works well. Almost too well. I've set it at medium, but even snowflakes set it off. The camera has also picked up cars 170 feet away and gives an alarm. I haven't tried changing the setting to light from medium sensitivity, and this may correct that issue. The microphone works, but it isn't great. However, for the price, it's a great feature.The camera can be set to follow motion, and this feature works well. Zooming features include a double tap on the viewing screen to zoom in and you can also turn sounds on to hear what is going on. However, my camera gives off an annoying chirping sound, so I turn it off.I haven't hit all points of the LaView bulb camera, but I recommend it. I would buy it again. I could buy a better security camera, but I don't think I could get a better security camera for the price.

First I love the cameras. They screw right into the light outside my door. I was able to communicate through them view the past videos and live videos. It had a great picture. I highly recommend these cameras. Also a plus is that they are water proof which is a big plus. The app is very easy to navigate. The installation of the cameras are super easy to set up as well. If I can do it anyone can. As I am not tech savvy.Secondly, I did have some issues with both cameras I got home one day and one of them was hanging by the wires. The other wouldn’t turn left in the app when you opened it up on the control button. It would go up and down and right but not left. I contacted the company through the app chat and they responded in a timely manner. Seeing that they are located In California and it is a different time zone. They reached out to me and tried to fix the problem with the not left but since it wouldn’t fix the problem they said that they would replace both. Great customer service. The guy I talked to was very nice and even said that he was sorry he didn’t speak great English but I was able to understand him. Great company and great cameras. Highly recommend them. The cameras are not expensive so the value of the cameras are great for the price.
