LightCam is a light bulb that watches your porch. Twist it into any standard outdoor light socket — no wiring, no drilling, no electrician. It lights your porch, entryway, garage, or covered patio like any bulb, and it keeps an eye on things while you're not there. WHAT IT DOES • Live view. Pull up your porch on your phone and see what's happening right now. • Motion alerts. Get a notification when someone walks up your driveway, drops off a package, or knocks on the door. • Clip playback. Missed something? Pull up the recording and watch what happened. Included with LightCam Plus. • Save clips. Keep the moments that matter in your phone's photo library. Included with LightCam Plus. BUILT FOR OUTDOORS LightCam goes where your porch light already goes — no separate mount, no extra wiring, no new hole in the siding. If you have an E26 socket over your door or garage, LightCam fits. YOUR PHONE STAYS YOURS LightCam never records audio or video from your phone's camera or microphone. The footage comes from the camera in the bulb — not your device. FREE AND LIGHTCAM PLUS Every LightCam comes with live view and motion alerts at no charge. Free live view has a daily time limit. With LightCam Plus, live view is unlimited. LightCam Plus adds cloud clip playback and clip saving. Clips stay in your history for 90 days. It's a subscription you can start in the app. Porch. Entryway. Garage. Covered patio. LightCam watches the places you already leave a light on.
