LaView 4MP Bulb Security Camera 2.4GHz,360° 2K Security Camera

I was for sure skeptical of this product's ability to perform as well as a regular home security cameral.
I've actually been searching for a couple of years now for something that would do what I need and desire in a security camera.

We all know most systems are extremely expensive as well as long term costly via having to pay a monthly or even yearly fee for service.

Not sure about everyone else however I don't particularly care for the idea of someone sitting in an office somewhere in the world watching me on camera or depending on someone else to secure my home and land. Privacy is important, that's the whole idea behind it.

I have a connection via Satellite system internet as I live in a rural area where I can't get the option of fancy fast internet. So my wifi is often spotty and even failing. I was concerned that having the bad wifi would make the camera itself just simply not work. Also my modem/router is 80ft away from the area where I wanted to place it. It works perfectly!! I had zero issues setting this up. It worked from gitgo!

Setup:
I read the horror stories and I did exactly what the instructions said. I plugged the camera into the outlet "spike protector" to make it easier near my modem/router placed the mini sd card into it and then activated it. I moved it to the desired location unplugging the light bulb and screwing the camera in and boom! it worked right away! 5 minutes tops!

Motion tracking: The motion detector and tracking is great. It's fast it's smooth and doesn't miss a thing.
I set it up then let my hyper German shepherd out and it kept her in focus and tracked her over 2 acres of land where it's viewing.

Night Vision: I have to agree with most of the reviews I read, I do prefer the night time full color it's a nice crisp image. Note: You do need a bit of light source for the camera to draw from for the color it doesn't take much we have an outside light around back that shines a small amount up front which was plenty for the camera to work great. Regular Night Vision is also good and both are great quality.

Sturdy, high quality photos and video. It will record all the time or you can set it to record on "event" someone walking around or critters doing what they do best getting into mischief.

If you don't have the best internet, I believe you will still be able to use these cameras. I honestly have one of the worst in the country lol and it works!

I would recommend these cameras.

Update 4/29/2024
I am changing this to 5 stars.
The company reached out and replaced the unit.
Definitely 5 stars for customer support.
The camera quality is excellent - very clear video and sound is excellent. The app is very good and easy to use.
One thing to be aware of is if you use the motion tracking (the camera follows activity) it will likely wear out the rotating motor after a couple months so I disabled the automatic following and only use manual movement now. Summation - the camera is good quality and a good deal at this price.

Original review:
Camera froze after 2 months like many others have reported. Still get picture but the camera won't rotate.

The light bulb-style camera comes economically packaged in a retail-marked light cardboard box. Inside the box, right on top there is a user manual, a quick start guide, and the small fold out marked" important notice ". The bulb camera itself is nestled inside a formed plastic holder. There is also a small adapter so you could plug this directly into a light socket. There's a sticker on the white socket adapter that tells you this is to help you set up the Wi-Fi. That's a nice touch and it makes sense. That way you can plug it into a socket convenient to you while you're setting it up so you don't have to stand on a ladder or something and wave your phone in front of the camera to connect it.
Looking at the quick start guide, you will have to download the app before trying to set up the camera. That makes sense. They also note that this only works on 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi, so you'll need to be certain that your phone is said on a 2.4 GHz stream from your router.
Setting up the camera is familiar to anyone that has set up a security cam before- they all seem to be set up in a similar fashion. Once you have downloaded the app and set up an account with them, you have to receive a unlock code in your email to proceed further. Further. Once you have that, it's as simple as plugging the camera into power, (this is where that handy little adapter makes it much easier) wait for the camera to initiate, then you put your Wi-Fi password in so the camera can program itself and the app will give you a QR code to show to the camera. After a moment, the camera will play a tone to notify you that it has recognized the QR code and then the app gives you a countdown. It's a 2-minute countdown, but it took less than that for the camera to initiate itself and come online. Then you can put the camera or wherever you need it to be. In our case, I plugged it in in the living room to program it and then put it out side in the lamp socket above the door. So far, I've had no glitches with the camera. It makes connections and reconnections fairly quickly, and it responds well to manual directional changes. There is a siren function to the camera, but the siren is very quiet. I tested the siren by setting it off manually when a family member was in the yard less than 100 ft from it and they said it sounded very quiet and not alarming at all.
As part of the setup, you have the option to put a TF card into the camera for storage. Please note, it does not come with a TF card. You'll have to provide your own. However, the camera doesn't seem to be very picky. I put in a card that I had pulled from an older non-functioning camera, and the camera recognized it and started recording to it almost immediately.
On the opposite side of the quick start guide( and keep in mind this has nine pages per side- so not really that quick) they will give you step by step on how to link your Alexa to the camera if you desire. Everything seems fairly straightforward and step by step. I'm going to hold off giving the camera my Alexa password, while I see if I'm happy with all the rest of the functions.
Reading through the rest of the instructions and the quote important notice" insert, they know that the camera is not waterproof- this is even though the ads specifically say that this is an indoor-outdoor camera. The important notice goes on to say that if you use it outdoors, you'll have to ensure that the camera will not get wet in the rain. I have issues with this. I did not expect the camera to be waterproof, but I do expect it to be water-resistant. How can you sell your product as an outdoor product without it being water resistant at all? I have mind mounted outdoors, in a lamp fixture that's very similar to the one in the end. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the camera after the first rainstorm we have.
As far as night vision, in complete darkness without turning the light on we can see the accustomed black-and-white night images, but they are fairly clear. Turning on the light will give you back color but you lose a little bit of the depth.
Another thing I did notice that I thought was interesting. Is that turning on the light produces an audibly loud click. Hearing the click over the phone interface via the sound transmission of the camera assembly itself, it sounds quite heavy and makes a loud sound.
One of the difficulties I've had with similar light bulb-style cameras is that sometimes it has difficulty making a connection. I've had this one for a couple of days now, and checking it multiple times during the day and the night. It has connected in a reasonably quick time, every time.
The only difficulty I've had with the camera is the controlling software on your phone. There is a very high incidence of the software nagging you to buy the premium version and buy cloud software. In addition to the continual nagging, you have to wait several seconds to be able to dismiss the nag screen. I was seriously thinking about purchasing more of these cameras, but the nag screen is starting to make me think otherwise.

**** UPDATE ****

After several emails back and forth with LaView, they provided me with the instructions to shut off the push ads. It’s buried deep in the app. Here is the path to get to the off switch.
APP-> > Me page ->click on the upper right corner->Privacy Permission Settings->disable Personalization
It did work to shut off most of the popups, but it took several days to stop them all.
The seller has corrected part of the info in the paperwork that comes with the camera, According to their representative, the cams are rated IP65, which according to a quick Google, “An IP65 rated enclosure gives protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction, as well as condensation and water spray. It's suitable for most outdoor enclosures that won't encounter extreme weather such as flooding.”
So water resistant, but not waterproof.
Their customer service has been responsive, prompting this update on my review.
