Crowdfunding Corner: Lightcam Sheds a Light

A home security camera will now be as simple to install as screwing in a light bulb with the introduction of LightCam, (https://lightcam.com/) an innovative new smart light bulb featuring a camera.

LightCam spares homeowners and property renters from the dreaded task of installing a home security camera with running wires, drilling holes, and mandatory monthly fees. LightCam is a controllable smart light bulb that’s paired with a fully adjustable HD (1080p) security camera that allows you to see anywhere that has a standard light socket and WiFi. Reinventing the way people think about home surveillance, LightCam is as easy to set up as twisting in a light bulb into any standard light socket to ensure a private and convenient way to monitor your home or business.

“We designed LightCam to be a versatile and affordable security camera for your home,” said Daniel Swiss, the inventor of LightCam. “LightCam requires no drilling, no wires, and no hassle. You just plug it in, turn it on and it works.”

LightCam has a wide range of additional real-world uses, including allowing parents to keep an eye on their kids playing outside, business owners to keep tabs on their business while traveling, ensuring delivered packages don’t go missing, or as a gift for an aging parent to help consumers have peace of mind.

“LightCam solves this problem, and is built on a private, secure platform that puts you in control,” says Swiss.
