Turn any light fixture into a smart security cam with Wyze’s new Bulb Cam

A lightbulb that’s also a security camera — that’s the latest innovation from Wyze.

The company’s new Bulb Cam is a $50 device that screws into any standard light socket and combines a smart light with a full-featured security camera. It records in 2K, offers color night vision, and includes two-way audio. Motion detection triggers alerts directly to your phone, and you don’t need any wires, outlets, batteries, or solar panels to make it work.

One clever feature: you can group the Bulb Cam with other Wyze smart bulbs so they all turn on when the camera senses motion.

Wyze has had its share of security lapses in the past, but the company has made strides in addressing those concerns. This new product feels like a safer, more reliable option compared to the no-name lightbulb cameras that are flooding online marketplaces.
