I have a set of these. While an interesting idea, they have some drawbacks. I like the camera, it's pretty clear and can pan, tilt, zoom.

1. They take up a light bulb receptacle. So unless if you happen to have extra light bulb receptacles, it's going to take a slot. The LEDs on these are just not bright enough to replace an actual bulb.
2. You have to put these in a socket with the bulb hanging down. Otherwise the camera won't be able to tilt downwards very much.
3. The only choices are local storage or cloud. It can't connect to a base.
4. Being a screw-on light bulb, if it were placed outside it can be easily stolen if not encased in glass. However if encased in glass, the night vision is basically useless, unless if you can find some kind of reflectionless glass. The camera has a little LED that's always on and it'll reflect in the glass creating a halo that obscures the video at night.

Anyway if you can get around these issues, then they are nice little cameras.

I posted this back in November 2023-ish and I've had them working non-stop since then without any issues; for the price and convenience they're extremely hard to beat: Also, the newest downloadable firmware is:V.2.114.864.

"I had these installed since the previously deal about a month or so ago. I've been pretty happy with them. Couple of helpful things for people to know:

(1) They can support SD cards greater than 128 GB (as the instructions state); you need simply format the larger SD Card in FAT32 (not exFat or NTFS).

(2) They also support ONVIF if (a) you request the firmware update from LaView support and (b) you follow the instructions they give. You will lose the "Body Recognition" option if you update the firmware to ONVIF. Also, the update allows for RTSP according to LaView.

(3) I synced it up with a Synology NAS running Surveillance Station and it works fine. You only get 2 licenses with a Synology NAS (and you need 1 license per camera), so you'll need to purchase more licenses if you plan on more than 2 cameras.

(4) The cameras have night viewing by 3 different methods: (1) "starlight/color mode" which doesn't use any of the onboard LEDs, (2) "Color Smart w/ Spotlight" which does use a White LED light to aid the illumination, and (3) Smart Mode (which appears to be a black /white option with a spotlight).

(5) They record, according to LaView, about 6GB per day (per camera) should you have the camera set to "record non-stop" instead of "event recording". So be sure to plan your SD card size accordingly.

(6) You can turn off the "status light" from being illuminated so that it's not possible see the camera at night when it's activated. and

(7) For those worried about giving access to your LAN/wifi, you can put these on your "guest wifi" if your router supports those so that you can access it from your internal lan/wifi but the devices can't access your internal lan/wifi.

As I said, I've been pretty happy with them.

Edit: There are two models of this light and the only difference is the firmware. The newer model/firmware is: v2.79.714 . The older model with older firmware is: v.2.76.697. You want, obviously, the one with the newer firmware."

rtsp does not work. Onvif works but only if it is connected to internet. So cannot block internet access and use locally.
To me these are a privacy risk unless you are using them in an area you dont care about.

Thank you. Can you provide a link to where to get the latest firmware? Appreciate it!

I purchased a few LaView cameras on a prior deal.
Then bought a few more.

I've got ring cameras and 60% of them failed - and the replacements failed. Quality of my ring cameras is embarrassingly bad. No issues with the LaView.
I don't need to pay for cloud storage, I can just throw in an SD card. No subscription cost.
I can view all cameras streaming at one time in the app - vs. one camera at a time in Ring.

I have one of these light bulk socket cameras. It works well and will follow movement. But it's in a corner socket, and is often stuck staring into the corner, rather than where there is movement. I haven't seen a way yet to limit the range of it's turning. Staring into a corner isn't the most helpful. 🤣

The app for the cameras will automatically download it and update the device. You won't need to download the firmware as it auto updates. You'd have to have contact LaView customer service by email for the actual firmware file (and they have been extremely receptive/communicative to my repeated questions and inquiries).

You can get over all limitations about the E27 bulb socket with using E27 to regular receptacle adapters. Just look up "E27 adapter" you'll find plenty of solutions

I use these in no lamps but use adapters to just plug these into power strips and the wall wherever I need them and they work great. I think the way they use E27 for power is smart because it does give you more options on where you can put these... I just don't really have any spots for the use but I could imagine a ton of situations where you might have one somewhere that you can throw one of these in.
Quote from scowl :
I wonder if anyone has tried these installed into a double socket adapter? I plan on giving that a go and seeing how it fairs
If it gets power it will work fine - so if they'll fit in the socket (if it's E27) they'll work

Out of his list, Laview is the highest rated camera according to Amazon customer ratings.
The 3 cameras he recommended all rated lower.

Anyone able to get these latest bulbs to work with Tuya? They connect flawlessly in the LaView app but can't for the life of me get them in Tuya. My older LV-PWL2-PN is in Tuya without issue

Curious how you got it working with the synology. I got the updated firmware but everything I go to add it, it tells me invalid creds.
I made sure onvif is turned on after updating to the custom firmware from support. Did you do anything special?
