Lorex Technology has introduced its new 2K Wi-Fi Lightbulb Camera, a product designed for people looking for simple home security. The camera is built into a regular lightbulb, making it blend in easily. It is aimed at homeowners and renters who want an affordable and low-profile way to watch over their property. The camera can be installed by screwing it into a standard light socket, and it does not require any extra tools or wiring.

This device combines a smart lightbulb with a high-resolution security camera. The camera produces 2K video, which allows for clear daytime and nighttime images. It also gives users the ability to monitor different areas like the living room, driveway, or backyard. The camera is positioned beneath a multi-directional LED bulb and includes color night vision. This setup is made for people who want both lighting and security in one product.

A notable feature of the 2K Wi-Fi Lightbulb Camera is its motorized pan-and-tilt capability. The camera can move up and down or rotate in a full circle, which means users can watch all areas without missing any spots. These movements are controlled through a phone app, which lets users view live footage and adjust the camera’s position as needed. There is also a privacy mode. When activated, the camera points inward, stopping it from recording or watching outside while still working as a lightbulb. This can be helpful for tenants or anyone concerned about privacy.

The installation process is straightforward. The camera fits into any standard E26 or E27 light socket. Because there is no need for wiring or drilling, renters can use the camera without making permanent changes to the property. This makes it easy to move the camera to different locations if security needs change. The setup only takes a few minutes, so users can get started quickly.

The lightbulb part of the device is also useful. It is a 400-lumen bulb, which is bright enough for most home lighting needs. The light can be controlled through the Lorex app, where users can pick from several modes, such as manual, scheduled, motion-activated, or vacation mode. Multiple lightbulbs can be grouped together to turn on at the same time, and there are options for scheduling the lights to save energy.

Other features include two-way talk, which lets users speak to someone through the camera using their phone. The camera can also tell the difference between people and vehicles, sending alerts only when important motion is detected. The weather-resistant housing allows it to be used indoors or outdoors. For storing recorded video, users have options like a local Micro SD card, Lorex Cloud storage, or linking to a Lorex Fusion NVR.

The Lorex 2K Wi-Fi Lightbulb Camera is now available for purchase on the company’s website. For more information, visit the Lorex Technology website here.
