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

Nice pictures – Motion Detection sensitive
We have been wanting to get a camera for our back alley for months ever since our neighbor’s camera caught some dudes checking their truck and our vehicle to see if they were unlocked late at night. No bueno. We do have some vehicle theft in our area – especially with the alley ways being so private. AND – we have 3 teenage boys – one of which I could see trying to sneak out and be naughty… haha! (Just like his momma used to, let’s be real.)I love that this camera was so easy to install – just screw it in and you’re good! The only problem for me was that the bottom of the camera by where it screws into the light bulb thing was preventing it from getting it to insert in order to screw it in. I had to remove the light assembly to basically loosen the inner assembly so that it would come out a little to let the camera screw in. That was a bit annoying. Maybe it was just my light fixture…it IS from 1999.The picture is great – as you can see from my picture – and the night vision is really cool too. I ended up purchasing the cloud feature to save my videos. For some reason I thought there may be a way to insert an SD card or maybe send files via bluetooth to my computer. I wasn’t super excited about paying extra for the cloud service. And honestly I’m not sure if it saves a certain amount of captured videos via the app that you could download if you wanted?The app is incredibly easy to use and like I said, the whole setup is fantastic. I’m still trying to figure out the motion detection – it goes off every time the trees blow around or if my dogs happen to walk along the fence. I saw something about human detection on the app, but I’m not sure how that works. There is a “do not disturb” function, so I can set it to not send me notifications during the day. Also, there’s this “Starlight” function – I think it turns the light on when it detects motion?I promise I’ve had this for probably a month but just haven’t played around with the functions enough. So I’m sure this review is super not as much helpful as it could be. Maybe there’s a YouTube video out there about the specifics? There IS a YouTube video for EVERYTHING…I would recommend it – the price is RIGHT for the features and quality! And it connects to Alexa and Google Home. I connected to both (we also have a Google Nest at our front door), but also haven’t tried that out either and not sure how it would be helpful. AND, it has a siren! I guess if it alerts you there’s motion and you see some very bad people trying to do bad things, you can activate the siren and freak them out. THAT would be FUN!

Works well enough
The LaView 4mp security bulb camera. I have been using it about 3 weeks now and trying out the different features.It was very easy to set up and get started using. I like the fact that you can use a micro SD card for storage and not have to pay for the cloud. I am using the cloud on the free trial basis now and that works just fine but I’m not sure I want to pay for it when the free trial period ends.I use it on my front porch that has a covered overhang, the fixture it is in it’s just a basic outside light with glass covering, I used a 2 inch screw in extension for a light bulb, and the camera area hangs just below the glass.It does a good job tracking motion back-and-forth, sometimes it does miss a car or two going by. I think that must be some sort of a cool down period but I’m not sureI like the fact it takes a still picture of the object, so when you go back to look at what has been going on outside, it’s a little easier to choose what you want to look at in my opinion. When you are looking at playback, you can also, watch it in regular time speed or X2.The night vision works very well. I have been keeping mine in the colored night vision.The human detection does detect humans, but it also detected a bunny rabbit, hopping around in my yard as a human! (lol).Object outline doesn’t work at all for me, when I have tried that feature the tracking for whatever reason goes in the opposite direction.All in all, I think it’s a good product, especially for the price point.

This was such a great camera and amazing purchasefor the price its beyond PERFECTmotion detection and follows and then retracts to original positionSD saves and recordseasy to use and set upbought a second one the same day after using it.COMES WITH A PLUG FOR DIRECT POWER CONNECTION INCASE YOU DO NOT HAVE A LIGHTBULB on your porch or back porch.

I wanted a plug and play option to put at my door way. Basically just plugged this into the wall outlet at home to set it up, (had to download an app), then screwed it into the socket outside. My sockets are recessed and it still works, I contemplated getting a socket extension off amazon for better views, but haven’t yet.The Laview app is free to download, and I have my notifications turned on so everytime it senses movement, I get a notification from the app and I can pull up the snapshot it took or look at the camera to see what’s going on live. It doesn’t record/store video unless you sign up and pay for that, but it does keep the photos of each occasion that it senses movement.I got this so I can get notified of delivery’s when I am not home so for that it does the trick and it was just so EASY to set up. I have only had it during summer/fall, so I am curious to see if it will hold up in -30c. I’ll update my review once I know.
