IC 360 Smart Security Light Bulb Camera

£49.99

No expense can be spared when it comes to guaranteeing the security of your home. Furthermore, protecting your living space needs to be a simple and stress-free procedure. These are just a couple of vital requirements that the IC 360 Smart Security Light Bulb Camera delivers on. Not only is it highly technical and effective, but its installation is also as easy as changing a lightbulb!

It is really that easy, as this nifty security camera can be fitted to the wall via an E27 fitting mount. This is great considering that’s wireless, so you’re not faffing about with tonnes of cables. This also means that the battery life is endless, and you don’t need to worry about it running out unexpectantly. In the UK, however, you are slightly restricted in the location of the camera, as E27 fittings are primarily used for lamps, rather than wall or ceiling fixtures. This means that you either screw it into a lamp or get a B27 to E27 adapter, which adds an inch or so to the length, and the adapter comes at an extra cost. On the other hand, the IC 360 has more versatility in the US, as an E27 fitting can also be found in all ceiling and wall fixtures.

A benefit of the IC 360 Smart Security Light Bulb Camera is the fact it’s a perfect size, not too huge, but still big enough to deter theft. This is the ultimate goal, meaning that you can rest assured that your house is protected. A further feature that ensures protection is the motion and sound detector. This is great as it means that it only captures video when is appropriate, capturing movement and sound in real time. This is extra effective when considering that the security camera also acts as a lightbulb, therefore, a light comes on whenever any movement or sound is detected. This is vital for guaranteeing the safety of your home during the night, as it means the camera has constant visibility, further helped by a 360-degree rotating base, allowing for full coverage.  The use of smart technology also means that it has a special feature for pets, therefore saving it from going off every time a four-legged friend walks past.

Whether you are keeping an eye on what the kids are doing, or checking who’s at the door, you can always be sure to see what’s going on with the free smart app connectivity, enabling you to see what’s going on in real-time. This, of course, would dictate that you be looking at the app all the time, which just isn’t plausible. Thankfully, the app sends you a notification if anything is detected, as well as makes a recording of the video, allowing you to keep tabs on what’s going on at all times.

A further helpful addition is the use of the microphone that is accessible via the app, this lets you communicate with those in the house, which of course, is a great bonus. The only thing I would say is that the app’s live feed feature took some time to set up and understand. However, once you do get your head around it, it works really effectively!

Pros:

- Small and discreet which can catch authentic movements in real-time.

- Motion and sound sensors that trigger the light.

- Microphone to speak through the camera.

- Can see and speak through the phone via the app.

Cons:

- In the UK the E27 screw fitting only fits in lamps, so you would need an adapter, which comes at an extra cost.

- The app can take a while to set up and understand.
