Innovative product that has potential
I love trying new, technically advanced devices. When I first noticed Lorex’s 2K Wi-Fi smart bulb with camera, I thought it was a neat idea. Having a pan and tilt camera attached to a socket light bulb was something I never thought of combining. I wanted to see how it would perform by testing in my garage first. Could it detect my vehicle, and could the camera follow when it detected motion? Setup I was able to get the device setup easily. Once I installed the smart lightbulb camera in my garage to test things out, I connected it to my Wi-Fi. To my surprise, it connected right away. I then was met with an automatic update. I couldn't find the firmware revisions on the website, so I just assumed it made the device perform better. I combed through the settings and options in the Lorex Connect app to familiarize myself with the app layout. The smart lightbulb camera allows you to adjust the color temperature, have a 2-way conversation, and activate the siren based on the alert you desire. All meaningful options. Lorex Connect App Since the smart lightbulb camera is one of the newer devices in the lineup, I needed to download the Lorex Connect app. This app is not to be confused with the Classic version. I was able to choose the types of alerts and select thumbnail images to show based on the event. Adding a micro-SD card also added the ability to capture events on the smart lightbulb camera. The cloud-based subscription isn't available as of the time of this review. Pros: Able to screw the lightbulb camera in a socket. The lightbulb has Wi-Fi 6 built-in with 2k resolution. Able to pan/tilt the smart camera. Can be placed wherever a socket is available. Color night-vision. Cons: Light bulb not dimmable. No Google Assistant or Alexa compatibility No IP water rating Audio sounds muffled when conversing Lifespan of bulb Takes an extended time to load camera when moving to another light socket Things to consider Lorex recommends installing the smart lightbulb camera in a sheltered area if placed outside. Still unclear about the wet rating of the device. I scanned the website to check and I couldn't locate any info on it. All in all, this is a good smart device that has the potential to improve over time with some additional software updates. Some areas of improvements are: AI detection accuracy and Smart Home compatibility. I think adding/updating these two features will improve the overall user experience. Overall, I think the Lorex Smart bulb with camera would be a good choice that allows monitoring in a cost-effective way. Having the ability to add a micro-SD card allows the comfort of having video stored locally. This is a win in my book.

A Smart Lightbulb That Watches Your Back
Let’s be honest—home security can feel overwhelming. Between complicated setups, ugly cameras bolted to walls, and wiring nightmares, it’s easy to put it off. But what if your security camera looked like… well, just a regular lightbulb? That’s exactly what the Lorex 2K Wi-Fi Smart Lightbulb Camera pulls off—and it actually works really well. It’s a Camera… That Screws In Like a Lightbulb Seriously—no drilling, no electrician, no fuss. You just unscrew your old bulb, screw this one in, and you’re halfway to having eyes on your space. I set mine up in under 10 minutes while my coffee was still hot. The app walks you through the rest: connect to Wi-Fi, name your camera, and boom—you’re live. Even my tech-wary parents could handle it (and they still use a flip phone). See Every Corner—Without Moving a Muscle One thing that surprised me? The pan-and-tilt feature. Most plug-in or bulb cameras stare in one direction, leaving blind spots. But this little guy can swivel left, right, up, and down—all from your phone. Want to check if the dog’s on the couch? Swipe. Wonder if the front door’s locked? Tilt down and peek. You can even set it to slowly scan the room automatically. It feels like having a security guard who never blinks. Sharp Day or Night—No Grainy Guesswork The 2K video quality is crisp enough that I could read the label on a cereal box across the room. And at night? The infrared night vision kicks in smoothly—no spooky green tint, just clear black-and-white footage. I tested it after dark, and yes, you can still recognize faces (sorry, sneaky teenagers). A Few Real-World Quirks to Know It’s not perfect, though. The biggest gotcha? If someone flips the light switch off, the camera goes dark too. So it’s best in a fixture controlled only by smart switches—or a spot where no one fiddles with the switch (like a porch or garage). Also, avoid hanging it from a swaying pendant light. Wind or bumps can make the image wobble, which gets annoying fast. Stick it in a ceiling fixture or stable lamp for best results. Bonus: It’s Also a Light! (Sort Of) Yes, it lights up—but don’t expect stadium-level brightness. It’s more like a soft ambient glow, great for hallways or as a nightlight. If you need serious illumination, you’ll probably want another bulb nearby. Still, having both functions in one sleek unit keeps things tidy. Is It Worth It? For the price, absolutely. You’re getting high-res video, remote pan/tilt control, night vision, and dead-simple setup—all disguised as something that belongs in your home anyway. If you’ve been putting off home security because it felt too complicated or invasive, this might be your “aha” moment. Final Thought The Lorex Smart Lightbulb Camera isn’t trying to be flashy—it’s practical, clever, and quietly effective. It won’t replace a full security system for high-risk situations, but for everyday peace of mind? It’s one of the smartest (and simplest) upgrades I’ve made to my home. And hey—if it stops one package thief or catches my cat plotting world domination, it’s already paid for itself.

Put a Camera Anywhere You Have a Socket
The Lorex 2K Wi-Fi Smart Lightbulb with Pan-Tilt Camera is an innovative device that allows you to add a camera anywhere you have an existing lightbulb socket. One thing I want to say off the bat is to make sure you download the correct app before setting up your light. Please see the image attached to this review. I made the mistake and just typed in “Lorex” in the Google Play Store, saw that the logo matched, and assumed it was the correct app. You will need the Lorex CONNECT app, not the Lorex CLASSIC app. I was frustrated for days, thinking there was something wrong with either the product, the app, or my phone because my phone wasn’t picking up the bulb’s wi-fi signal. Once I figured that out, the unit was very easy to install. The unit comes out of the box ready to go. You download the app first. Turn off the power to the socket (recommended), install your Lorex into the socket just like you would any bulb, and turn the power back on. You will need to have this on a dedicated socket/switch that can be powered on all of the time. Next, you use the app to connect your phone to the product. You can only sign into Lorex Connect on one device at a time. However, you can invite shared users to view the camera. They will need to set up their own Lorex account and have the app on their phone. You can then use their email address (the same they registered their account with) and invite them to view the camera feed. You will need a MicroSD card for memory. There is not a subscription option at this time. You can also record live video and download it directly to your phone. The image is fantastically clear. The camera pans easily around so you can get close to a 180-degree view of the area where it is installed. This would be great for a garage, a porch (the unit is indoor/outdoor), or even a playroom. The light intensity can be controlled by the app as well. The app will send you notifications if there is movement observed. This a great alternative to running wires all over the house or having to screw cameras into the walls and ceilings. No tools required. As long as you have a working socket, you can have a surveillance camera. It would not replace an alarm system, but it can give you peace of mind.
