Should you buy a lightbulb security camera? I tested 10 cameras from Amazon from $20-$150.

Lightbulb security cameras seem like the easiest and most convenient way to add a powered security camera to your house, but are they any good? I bought every variety on Amazon to see if they are worth using.

From the start of this all I could think about is "think of all the crap he has to install on his phone to test this". We thank you for your service to this community!

This channel should be considered the gold standard of how a tech review should be, YouTube is full of amateurism and own financial interests.

Now this is how you do a review no music no bs jus straight sauce

[sharinmythoughts]

It’s really appreciated that you did this infomercial without being bought out! You’re a man of integrity. I pray it stays that way.❤

[pandarush.]

Huge THANK YOU for such in depth testing and your honest opinion. You didn't sugar coat, and I appreciate it when you said none of them are really good and there are better options. Whew, you saved me money and headaches.

[coryengel]

Never mind the cameras—thumbs up just for letting me know the USB socket adapter thingy exists!

[RaraAvis]

Holy cow! The amount of effort you put into your videos is astonishing and so needed. Wow, thank you so much. I am definitely subscibing, sharing and watching more. This video alone saved me fron wasting money.

One of the very few channels I turn the bell on for notifications. This guy always seems to review the right stuff that I'm actually shopping for, and he does it so well I'll buy his recommendations in full confidence that I'm getting the best item in my price range.

I bought a lightbulb camera a few months ago, but I don't use it any longer. It disconnects from wifi all the time, and the app is terrible. Thankfully I got it on sale. Appreciate the thorough reviews!

[BrandonDoyleMN]

You never cease to amaze with your level of detail and kudos for being unbiased, hands down the best comparisons on YouTube

[gofastwclass]

I would never consider a camera in this format for a laundry list of reasons.

Thank you for another honest review. These honest, unsponsored, and unbiased reviews help educate far more people than you will ever know.

[dankelley]

Incredible job, as always, for your in depth analysis on these home products. Hopefully saved a lot of people from buying an item that doesn’t live up to the hype!

[Fluffywings]

Fantastic. I hope camera companies see this as a missed opportunity. I ran PoE around the house and it was not easy so for many houses this design is genius.

[annemariesmith]

YES. I have the Symynelec P4 and it is very responsive. The tracking feature is great. BUT, I wish that someone would add a thermal feature to some of these types of things in order to "see" the people lurking beyond the fence.

THANK YOU!!! My husband just told me yesterday that he wants to have security at our new house. I do not want to be adding any new drill holes or anything to our new home- so decided to check on light bulb security cameras. This was a good place to start :)

[TheBurnsiela]

Excellent video! I can't imagine how long it takes to research and film a video like this. Thank you for doing it so we can learn!

[garyedwards]

Wowzers! The perfect pro review of the products. Fast, clear, concise. No ungainly music getting underfoot. If I were to teach video production of product reviewing, this video would be the study guide.

Thanks for setting the bar so high.

[simplesimon]

I had no idea this sort of thing even existed let alone that there were so many options. It's a shame that none of them are worth buying but I am grateful that you tested so many of them. I recently subscribed after watching a couple of your videos regarding how security cameras work and particularly their function in night mode. In my experience, everything that I've needed to record has happened at night so I'm looking to upgrade from Eufy. Your videos are really helping to educate my eventual decision. Thanks!

[GumriRN]

Wow, the most comprehensive camera review of all! Thank you for spending your money testing all these devices. It would be nice if we knew how much their monitoring subscriptions cost. Thanks again.

[peteravila]

Finally! An honest and impartial review. Great job! Thank you!
