Of all the possible places in your home where you can hide your camera, your light bulbs are the least suspicious for burglars. It could be that or they just don’t have the time to search for every possible hiding spot. Sengled cleverly thought of this and has designed an efficient smart LED lightbulb that hides an IP camera to monitor your home.
• Snap
Snap is the latest addition to Sengled’s family of multi-functional light bulbs. It’s an 1080p IP camera hidden inside a light bulb. Cool, right?
However, before there was Snap, Sengled was already popularly known with its very cool way of making two things in one. The light bulb, perhaps, could be one of their most favorite subjects. For one, have you ever imagined listening to your favorite songs through your light bulbs? Well, Sengled did and it was impressively done.
• Pulse
Pulse is Sengled’s innovative way of putting your speaker inside your light bulb. It’s a wireless audio system that can also give you the benefit of smart dimmable LED bulbs. Cool, right?
• Pulse Solo
• Pulse Boost
If you’re starting to get frustrated with the range of your Wi-Fi signal at home, Pulse Boost can be good news for you. It can increase your Wi-Fi coverage to make you enjoy your internet connection better wherever you are in the house.
Each Sengled device is controllable by a mobile app. You can use the app to control your lights at home even without getting off of your bed. You can adjust a single light bulb or control all your bulbs at once. The app is quite simple yet its functionality can somehow amaze you. Remember, other than lights, you can also use it to manage your sound system.
Sengled’s price may be higher than most smart lightbulbs. However, considering that you’re getting quality sound system, Wi-Fi repeater and camera surveillance with your lights, it can actually be worth the risk. Sengled also believes that making your light bulbs smarter can help you reduce clutter at home. True enough, installing your speaker inside your light bulb can save you from the hassles of assembling and hiding long cable lines.
Very convenient, don’t you think?
Smart light bulbs are all the hype, and we are glad to see LIFX and Philips Hue are no longer the only players in the game. Manufacturers are rising across the industry; some with very interesting ideas. So far we haven’t seen anything like LightCam, though. It is pretty much what it sounds like—a smart light that doubles as a security camera.

The concept is rather simple, but it is clear the team did a good job setting up a strategy in the drawing board. In terms of lighting, the bulb can be easily controlled through an app, which allows for setting up on/off schedules. Alternatively, you can set it up so it turns on with motion. It needs no hubs and fits into any light socket. Things can’t get any simpler, really.
Now, the interesting part here is the camera. The bulb was made to accommodate most sockets, and lamps, and it can be extended to become longer. The camera can be rotated, pulled out and directed vertically. Easily aim it at any area of your choosing.
Features include 1080p video capture, infrared night vision, motion alerts and a “weatherproof” construction. Live footage can be accessed remotely, saved to the light’s on-board storage (which is enough for about a week’s recordings), or backed up to the cloud. If you prefer going the old-fashioned way, video can also be backed up to a computer, phone, or tablet.
All in all, this is a great alternative to conventional security cameras. It also helps that it looks nothing like a security camera. Chances are it will raise no suspicions, keeping your family secure while going undetected.
Interested? You can get one for as low as $89 through the Indiegogo campaign. That would be a 50% discount over the $179 estimated retail value. Not bad, considering it’s essentially the price of a smart bulb and a camera. It will be shipping in August and has reached 58% of its goal.
