From PC World: Looking to skip the hassle of wall-mounting a security camera in your backyard and wiring it for power? If you have an available outdoor light socket, this new Wyze cam and smart bulb combo can be screwed right into it.
Available now, the Wyze Blub Cam ($49.98) is pretty much what it says: a smart bulb with an integrated security camera.
Screw-in security cameras are plentiful on Amazon, but they typically come from no-name brands and (generally speaking) offer only iffy quality. But we’re starting to see light socket-compatible cams from more reputable companies, including a recent 2K model from Lorex, and now we have Wyze’s entry in the market.
Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT, the Bulb Cam has a standard E25 base, meaning you can screw it into a typical light socket, either indoors or out. (It’s worth noting that the clear outdoor light fixture that’s pictured above isn’t included.)
