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 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."
To me these are a privacy risk unless you are using them in an area you dont care about.

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. 🤣

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.
The 3 cameras he recommended all rated lower.

I made sure onvif is turned on after updating to the custom firmware from support. Did you do anything special?
