(Dan Tri) - Smart home device company Wyze has just launched a product that makes users curious, a light bulb with an integrated security camera.

Wyze Bulb Cam, a new product on the market, is attracting attention as an effective lighting solution combined with security monitoring, bringing comprehensive utility to modern living spaces.

Priced at just $49.98, this 2-in-1 device not only provides light for outdoor areas such as porches, gardens or garages, but also actively monitors security thanks to its integrated motion sensor.

The highlight of Wyze Bulb Cam is its ability to operate without complicated wiring, battery replacement or charging.

The device uses direct power from the standard E26 lamp holder, allowing users to screw it directly into compatible lamp sockets. This is considered a big advantage compared to traditional surveillance camera systems that require complicated installation processes.

Technically, the Wyze Bulb Cam is equipped with a 2K resolution camera, 160-degree wide viewing angle, HDR support and color night vision mode. In addition, the device also integrates a microphone and two-way speaker, allowing users to not only observe but also interact remotely via the Wyze app.

If users want to exploit more advanced AI features such as people, packages, pets or smart notifications, they can subscribe to the Cam Unlimited Pro package for $20/month (Photo: Wzye).

Notably, Bulb Cam is compatible with popular smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT, expanding the ability to control it with voice and set up automation scenarios.

However, there is one thing to note about the product: because it is directly connected to the power source of the lighting, the camera may lose power if the light switch is manually turned off. To solve this problem, Wyze has integrated a scheduling feature or used a motion sensor to automatically turn the device on/off, limiting physical intervention.

Compared to similar devices on the market, Wyze's Bulb Cam stands out with its own advantages. While many lesser-known brands offer bulb-camera products on e-commerce platforms, Wyze is considered one of the few reputable brands to pioneer the development of this unique product line.
