On the porch

Five minutes, one socket

Take the old bulb out. Screw this one in. Point it wherever you want from the app.

Why this one

The camera that does not need an installer

Most home cameras mean drilling a mount, running a cable and finding an outlet. This one borrows a socket you already have.

It goes where a bulb goes

Standard E27 screw fitting, 110–240V. The socket powers it, so there is no battery to recharge, no cable to run and nothing to drill into your siding.

Sees in colour after dark

Eight white LEDs around the lens light the scene instead of washing it out in infrared grey, so you can tell a delivery driver from a stranger at two in the morning.

Look around without moving it

Swipe on your phone and the head turns 355° side to side and 90° up and down. One camera covers a whole driveway instead of one fixed angle.

Say something

Built-in microphone and speaker. Tell the courier where to leave the parcel, or tell whoever is on your porch at midnight that you can see them.

Swap a bulb, gain a camera

It threads into the porch light, the garage fixture, the hallway socket — anywhere with a standard screw fitting. The socket supplies the power, so the only setup left is joining it to your WiFi in the app. Keep it in a covered fixture: it is built for a sheltered socket, not bolted to an open wall in the rain.

  • Standard E27 screw fitting, 110–240V
  • No drilling, wiring or electrician
  • Draws only 2–4W
  • Roughly 7 x 3 x 3 inches

A picture you can actually identify someone in

1080p at 1920 x 1080, against the 720p most socket cameras ship with. After dark the ring of white LEDs switches on with the light level, so the picture stays in full colour instead of washing out to infrared grey.

  • 1080p HD, 1920 x 1080
  • Full-colour night vision
  • Motion alerts in real time
  • Live view any time from the app

See who is there, and say something

Motion detection pushes an alert the moment someone comes up the path, and you can jump straight into the live view from the notification. The microphone and speaker let you tell the courier where to leave the parcel without opening the door.

  • Two-way microphone and speaker
  • Dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi
  • microSD storage up to 128GB
  • Share access with family
Setup

Up and running before the kettle boils

1

Take the bulb out

Switch off at the wall, unscrew whatever is in the socket now, and screw the camera in its place.

2

Join your WiFi

Open the app, pick your network and scan the code. It works on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

3

Point it where you want

Swipe to pan and tilt until the view covers the drive, the door or the room. That is it.

One socket is rarely the one that matters

Most people start at the front door and then wish they had done the back gate and the garage at the same time. The per-camera price drops on every rung.

“Installed it in the porch light socket in a few minutes. The alerts are quick, the picture is clear at night, and the two-way audio is helpful when deliveries arrive.”

“I wanted something simple without drilling new holes. This camera screwed right into my existing fixture and gives me a much better view of the side gate.”

“Good little camera for the price. Setup was straightforward, the app sharing works for my family, and the motion notifications give us extra peace of mind.”

Questions

Before you order

Yes. It has a standard E27 screw base, the same as a normal bulb, and runs on 110–240V. The socket powers it, so there is no battery and no cable to run.

The eight LEDs around the lens are there to light the scene for the camera at night, not to light a room. Treat the socket as a camera mount rather than as your main lighting.

Put it in a covered fixture — a porch light, a carport, a sheltered doorway. It is a bulb-socket device and it is not rated to sit exposed to rain, so keep it under something.

No. Clips record to a microSD card of up to 128GB that you supply, and live view and alerts work without paying anything. Cloud storage is offered as a paid extra if you would rather not use a card, but nothing on the camera depends on it.

It joins either a 2.4GHz or a 5GHz network, which covers just about every home router. Signal at the socket matters more than the band — a far corner of the garden may be weak.

Yes. You can share the camera with family through the app so several people can check in and get alerts, rather than everything landing on one phone.

One camera, one plug adapter and an instruction manual per camera. A microSD card is not included, so add one if you want local recording.

It ships from the US and you will get tracking by email as soon as the parcel leaves the warehouse.
