What if you could turn a light bulb into a security camera?
Well, let's look at this product.
Welcome back to Good Tech Chief, I'm today's host Matthew,
and today we're going to be taking a look at the Amcrest Link light bulb security camera.
That's right, this is a light bulb and a security camera,
and it just plugs into your light bulb socket.
And as you know, in every episode of Good Tech Chief,
we do a full unboxing and review.
So, let's get into it.
Welcome back to Good Tech Chief,
we're going to be taking a look at the Amcrest light bulb right here.
This is part of the Link system, so it hooks up to an app,
but I believe it also goes on NVR.
So, very cool, packaging looks very nice, very sleek.
Let's open it up.
One of the first things you see in the box is the quick start guide.
It's just going to give you all the information you need
on getting it set up and getting the most out of it.
So, super important.
One of the variations of the plug right here allows you to plug it into a wall directly.
So, very, very nice that this is included, a form of adapter.
Next up, we have the extension based adapter right here.
So, just in case there's not enough space or it's in a hard to reach spot,
you can plug this in first and then plug the camera in.
So, again, super cool that they included this.
And now, the camera itself.
Let's remove that sticker.
Very, very awesome.
This right here is an LED light and this is the camera.
This camera does turn and this camera does pan and it does tilt right here.
So, super, super cool.
You'll be able to control that off of the app.
You'll notice that there are no power buttons or power plugs
and that's because it plugs right into your light socket.
So, super, super awesome.
This thing is so unique.
Can't wait.
So, let's go ahead and get everything set up and try it out.
This is the Amcrest Link 4 megapixel light bulb,
Wi-Fi indoor and outdoor camera.
4 megapixel pan, tilt, light bulb, Wi-Fi camera.
Live streaming at 4 megapixels at 15 FPS video
and two-way audio using the Amcrest Link mobile app.
Remotely pan and tilt using the Amcrest Link mobile app
or set it to auto track and detect humans
using the built-in hardware based on AI chipsets.
Human tracking functions are included,
so it records to a micro SD,
but keep in mind that is not included.
You can also use the Amcrest Link app
and optional Amcrest Link Cloud remote video storage.
At extra wide 90.5 degree viewing angles,
you can see everything,
but keep in mind it does not work
with the Amcrest View Pro app.
This is a light bulb camera.
It's an AI Wi-Fi camera
and it features a brightness of 430 to 470 lumen
and a f-stopper rate of 1.6 aperture.
The 4 megapixel Wi-Fi IP camera
features a CMOS of 1 3rd inch,
4 megapixel progressive image sensor
to achieve unsurpassed low light capability
and IR LEDs for night vision.
It also has the H.264 compression.
Well, it will require an E27 port,
that's the 110 or 240 VAC for power.
This is their most technologically advanced
and best low light 4 megapixel Wi-Fi camera yet.
And unlike any of their competitors,
their human detection algorithm
is built in directly on the chipset,
so it doesn't require cloud access subscriptions to operate.
When it detects a human,
the camera will automatically record
and track the subject until it is out of frame
and you'll receive notifications on the event
showing whether it's a human
or motion detection is triggered.
You're going to get intelligent alerts and storage options.
You receive motion alerts via push notifications
using the Amcrest Link mobile app
and instantly review recordings on your phone.
Human detection filtering reduces false alerts.
You can store your footage remotely
using an optional Amcrest Link cloud subscription
or locally to a class 10 micro SD card up to 128 gigabytes.
It's simple, it's reliable, it's secure.
How can I help you?
No, thank you.
We're calling the homeowner.
We will be right there.
This security camera features a built-in light bulb
for full color night vision
as well as infrared night vision if needed
that allows the camera to view objects at night
up to 30 feet in full darkness.
And the Wi-Fi camera is compatible
with both 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi networks.
So this little thing is powerful, super awesome.
It's just going to make your life that much easier.
So I gotta say, wow Amcrest, great job.
As you know, we've heard the Amcrest in the past
their products are always fantastic.
They're always super affordable, high quality
and use really cool technology.
The fact that this has the AI built directly
into the camera chip
and not having to rely on the cloud
or anything to use that technology.
It's super smart, super nice.
It's also super cool that you can pair this with the app
but also pair it with their NVR systems.
Very, very smart.
So we want to give a huge shout out
to Amcrest for sponsoring this video.
