Looking for something simple to boost your sense of security without the hassle of wiring? The Lorex 2K Wi-Fi Smart Bulb Camera might be the perfect fit for your household.
The glow on this product is two-fold: Yes, it's a smart light bulb that can replace any light bulb indoors or out, but it's also a full-featured security camera with sharp video, smart alerts, and privacy tools, all controlled from your phone.
If you're not caught up on the latest in home security trends, this is for you — we like easy, affordable security solutions, and this one has a lot of potential.
A Smarter Take on Security and Lighting
There's no denying that this bulb looks a little more high-tech than most, but compared to many home security features, it blends right in.
One thing we really like is that it's suitable indoors and out, whether you want a watchful eye outside your front door, on a back patio, or even in a dining room lighting fixture. While it may look like an ordinary light, it’s got a camera tucked neatly underneath that delivers sharp 2K video, even at night.
“The Lorex 2K Lightbulb Camera offers homeowners peace of mind wrapped in elegant simplicity," highlighted Steve Hong, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Lorex Technology. "Whether illuminating your living room or guarding your porch, its trusted security and intelligent AI are seamlessly woven into a design that complements any home setting. Easily installed into standard light fixtures, it delivers powerful AI-driven security from a brand trusted by millions.”
The pan-and-tilt wireless camera moves up and down and swivels a full 360°, giving you control over what you see with a few taps on the Lorex app. You don’t have to settle for a fixed view or blind spots because this compact camera moves when you need it to.
And when you’re not watching, it can be smart about what it records. The motion-activated light triggers the Lorex app to send alerts when it spots a person or vehicle. And just like a smart doorbell, it's enabled for two-way audio so you can talk to whoever’s outside—or let them know you’re watching—through the speaker.

Everything about this light bulb camera is designed to be user-friendly. We haven't tried it ourselves, but the brand claims that takes just a couple of minutes—screw it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’re good to go. No tools, no drilling, no calling in for help. While it'd be great for homeowners, it'd be especially helpful for renters who can’t modify wiring in walls or ceilings.
Big Performance, Small Price Tag
It may look like a lightbulb, but this dual-purpose device delivers the kind of features you’d expect from top-tier security camera brands... at an affordable price.
For $69.99, you get sharp HD video with full-color night vision, a wide viewing angle, and advanced features like person and vehicle detection.
Whether you're viewing live footage or checking recorded clips, the image quality is consistently clear, even in low light. Two-way talk lets you speak directly through the camera using the mobile app on any mobile device, and alerts come through fast thanks to a stable internet connection.
You can store footage locally with a MicroSD card or use cloud options for more flexibility. It offers complete coverage and dynamic range in a compact design that fits into a standard light socket. For homeowners or renters who want dependable performance at an affordable price, it’s a standout in the growing field of smart security.
