In addition to the completely new design, you can manage multiple cameras at a glance, create recording schedules and use many other new features.

With our smart communication light in conjunction with the free app, it really is possible. The attractive sensor light not only illuminates your entrance area, but also delivers pin-sharp images to your smartphone or tablet thanks to the high-quality camera. The integrated intercom allows you to communicate in real time with the person at the door - conveniently and effortlessly from anywhere in the world or simply from your couch.

Steinel CAM Sensor Lights are STEINEL's first WLAN-based camera lights and are always connected to you via app. As soon as the high-precision infrared motion sensor detects with movement, the light comes on and you receive a message on your mobile device. The precisely adjustable camera transmits images of your entrance area to your smartphone or tablet via WLAN and gives you the opportunity to interact. You can see and hear exactly what is going on outside your front door and communicate from your smartphone or tablet via the built-in intercom. As soon as motion is detected, the corresponding images are stored on an SD card in the light.

### 2/5 — Nette App aber

*2026-01-19, version 3.0.5*

Nicht zu gebrauchen. Die APP hängt nach jeder Veränderung der Einstellung und benötigt einen Neustart. Ein direktes Aufrufen über Push Benachrichtigung führ auch zu einem Fehler. Abrufen von Clips lässt die App abstürzen. Alles nur nicht gut. Lampe ist hübsch und macht schönes Licht. L625 LED. Die Lampe kann sicherlich auch einiges, aber die Steuerung geht nur über die App und die ist miserabel schlecht!

### 1/5 — Nicht gut

*2026-01-13, version 3.0.5*

Selten so was schlechtes gesehen. Man zahlt viel Geld und am Ende hängt die App nur. Geschweige die Kameras haben verbindungsprobleme mit Repeater

### 1/5 — Schlecht, schlechter, Steinel

*2026-01-07, version 3.0.5*

Ich würde mich als Firma und Mitarbeiter schämen, ein solches Produkt den Kunden zum Kauf anzubieten. Ich versuche vergeblich seit über 1 Stunde die Lampe mit meinem Netzwerk zu installieren, nachdem in meinem Netzwerk die repeater ausschalten musste, die Frequenz anpassen musste und den wlan Standard in meiner FRITZ!box ändern musste.

Einfach nur peinlich. Nie wieder Steinel - lebenslang.

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2026-01-03, version 3.0.5*

Kamera war ein absoluter Fehlkauf, App hat nie vernünftig funktioniert! Wird angebaut und durch Bosch ersetzt.

### 1/5 — Noch immer ein Trauerspiel

*2026-01-01, version 3.0.5*

Es ist und bleibt seit Jahren das gleiche: schöne Lampen treffen auf eine katastrophale App. 

Ständige Fehlalarme machen die Benutzung quasi unmöglich. Zudem ständig keine Verbindung oder so extrem langsam, dass es einfach sinnlos ist.

Simpelste Funktionen gibt es einfach nicht, geradezu grotesk:
Man kann das Licht über die App anschalten aber nicht über die App ausschalten - warum bloß nicht!!

### 1/5 — Nutzlos

*2025-12-31, version 3.0.5*

Tatsächlich wohl mit die unnötigste App.

Funktioniert einfach so gut wie nie. 
Mein größter Fehlkauf Steinel Lampen mit Kamera.

Jede China Lampe mit App für kleines Geld funktioniert besser.

Wenn zuverlässige Lampen mit Kamera benötigt werden, Finger weg von Steinel

### 1/5 — App funktioniert überhaupt nicht

*2025-12-21, version 3.0.5*

Teure Anschaffung und eine nicht funktionierende App

### 1/5 — Täglich keine Verbindung zur Cam

*2025-12-17, version 3.0.5*

Einfach nur unzuverlässige App fast nutzlose da zu 80% keine Verbindung aufgebaut wird vor allem beim Abspielen der Clips

### 1/5 — L625 CAM SC

*2025-12-13, version 3.0.5*

Ich hatte die Hoffnung, dass es in der neuen Generation besser wird, leider wieder nur Probleme! Fehlgeschlagene Aktualisierungen, Lampe mit optischen Mängeln am Sensor (zerkratzt), Speicherkarte wird nicht erkannt.

### 1/5 — Keine Push Benachrichtigungen

*2025-12-07, version 3.0.5*

Seit dem letzten Update keine Push Benachrichtigungen mehr.

Monate vergehen immer noch nicht möglich. Darf ich die Kamera zurückschicken?
