Crowdfunding Corner: Lightcam Sheds a Light
Tuesday, April 3, 2018 at 9:09PM 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.”
Features and benefits of LightCam include:
● Easy setup—download the LightCam app, scan the QR code, screw your LighCam in, and connect LightCam to your WiFi
● Sleek, inconspicuous, low profile design
● Can be used both inside or out (weather rated)
● LightCam can see up to 25 feet in the dark through its infrared sensors
● Uses LED lights rated to last 15-20 years
● 1080p HD camera delivers crisp, detailed images directly to your phone, tablet, or computer
● Smart motion alerts sent directly to your phone
● The built-in speaker and microphone allows for 2-way communication between you and any visitors
● Records about a week of rolling HD video with the encrypted, built-in storage, it can also be backed up to your phone, computer, or online storage (i.e. Dropbox, Gdrive, LightCamDrive, etc.)
● Only you have access—each LightCam comes with a unique QR code that ensures only you can use it
● LightCam extends down, rotates a locking 360*, and can accommodate virtually any lens angle
● A unique, patent-pending lens skirt telescopes from the body allowing LightCam to avoid lens glare in glass enclosed light fixtures.
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.
The company has launched a successful Indiegogo campaign, https://www.indiegogo.com/pro jects/lightcam-smart-lightbulb -security-camera-home-light#/, to bring LightCam to market and is currently targeting an August 2018 launch.
