Today is the part 2 video about lamp socket adapters. This time, I'll show you options that you can do to power up your USB powered WIFI cameras and I'll demo here the Tapo C120 and also the Eufy Outdoor Cam. I'm also going to show 3 lamp socket power adapters that you can use and screw in to your existing wall or sconce lighting.

Now that is smart! Thank you. I never thought of trying with a smart bulb after first testing with my normal bulb before I saw this video.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks for watching!

[@ScorpionKingdom]

@@LifeHackster I think I have watched most of your videos by now. Keep up the good work

I like these options for my backyard door since there is not much action except for wildlife 🙂 Thank you for ALL of your vids that you produce. Keep them coming.

Excellent video and great ideas!

[@gojeffgordon24]

I have done some surveys from Eufy that certainly make it sound like they are going to add more bulb integrations with the cameras in the future. I am happy to see Tapo will talk to it's bulbs similar to Ring. Makes them a lot more appealing to look at.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks for watching!

The socket I use has a daylight sensor so the porch light isn't on all the time. It has two power plugs and that's what I plug my cameras in so they're on all the time. The light only comes on when it gets dark. Edit: The 2 pack lamp adapter is cool, but I would need one with two ports. I also use my lamp sockets for holiday lights, so I kind of need a regular plug lamp socket (like I have now). Thanks for introducing me to these other options.

[@adamhocking2194]

Hey, thanks for all your videos, they are great. Any chance you could do a review on the reolink RLC-843A? I can’t see any review on KZbin at all for this camera.

[@cryengine_x]

niiiiice the video i've been waiting for. i didnt realize the tapo smart bulb integrates with the c120 (over wifi?). since i've already got a c120 and it's $29, this should be a great cheap way to add a porch cam. could have come in handy last week when my package was reported delivered by usps but was nowhere to be found! i've had bad luck with both standalone smart bulbs and alexa routines. both seem pretty unreliable, i got rid of my smart bulbs and got a smart switch, it worked so much more reliably. anyway cool, more smart home projects to play with.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks for watching!

[@lcssay]

Since the power adapters for Tapo or wyze are not polarized, I just soldered wires to the prongs and wired directly behind the lamp. White to white, black to black. Of course, it's heat shrinked insulated, and the porch lights are not in a wet location. I also used a shorter cable, stealthier install.

[@motionsick]

I've been using these on my cameras for years.

[@vincebaker3384]

Hi LifeHackster I was watching your video Reviewing eufy Floodlight camera e340 I saw that you mounted it above your garage door This is where I want to mount my camera e340 when it gets here in your video it looks like to the right and left side of the camera there are eaves protruding from the garage do they cause a blind spot for your camera when it looks all the way to the right or the left.

[@user-er4hz7tk7p]

[@booyoou21]

Can you review the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam

[@americanincanada5302]

If its a switched light fixture how is it powering it all the time? Are you leaving in the switched on power position and then just scheduling the light to come on when its sunset to dawn?

[@Mr.C0ffee]

Greatest video ever! Can you do a video or a YT short on how you do the automation with you Waze cam v4? Thanks a ton bro. New sub +1

[@LifeHackster]

Will see. Thanks for watching!

[@salvatorediciaccio376]

Thank you for this information. Will you be releasing a review of the Reolink cx810 within the next 2 weeks. Rumors that you have it 😂

[@LifeHackster]

Rumors are wrong because I don’t have it… lol..

[@dennis_nguyen]

Are you going to review the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam?

[@LifeHackster]

I ordered it. Thanks for the heads up.

[@edward6527]

Thanks for the review! Does this work with Ring cameras?

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, it should for their USBC ported ones. As to the older barrel plug, you need to find a USBA to barrel plug cable.

[@byrondelgado5521]

Great video, not a bad idea. Thank you for the alternative options. Does the Eufy cam work with the homebase 3? Also, does Eufy have a camera similar in size that record 24/7 that is weatherproof for outdoors?

[@LifeHackster]

This eufy outdoor cam (E210 and E220) can be added to the HB3 and they can record 24/7 and is weatherproof.

[@byrondelgado5521]

@@LifeHackster great, this may just be a cheaper alternative than purchasing the Eufy doorbell. Particularly if it records 24/7. Thank you you for answering my questions, as always. I’m looking forward to the next video.

[@chrislindsay3104]

Great idea but I have wired security lights not a bulb. Do they make a driveway security lights with USB socket?

[@LifeHackster]

I haven't seen one. An option that you can do though is to replace your security lights with a floodlight cam if you want a camera with functional lights.

[@chrisb9960]

Why did I not think of this? Dang it!

[@chrisb9960]

Now I’m going to install another outside light fixture and use this.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks for watching!

[@gerryf7015]

There are 90 degree USB A adapters and cables you could possible use with that larger light socket adapter.

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, you can do that too...

[@khao1412]

Are you gonna review a new Eufy indoor C210/C220?

[@LifeHackster]

I have one ordered.

[@Rmbrown1964]

I have Wyze adapter with the Wyze v4 on my front porch light. Can I use the tapo c120 bulb?

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, you can, but you will be duplicating its functionality though.

[@Rmbrown1964]

@@LifeHackster I was thinking so I can change the color for say holidays

[@abc123fhdi]

Can you schedule the light to turn on based on sun rise and sun set?

[@LifeHackster]

Yes, you can.

[@SiDPT15]

Will this work for any Reolink cameras?

[@LifeHackster]

I think most Reolink cams are 12 volt powered.. they have the Lumus one but has a small barrel plug which might be hard to find a USB cable for it.

[@SiDPT15]

@@LifeHackster can you make a video on this specific issue? Us reolink users would benefit greatly!

[@drcoffee5588]

Read the included insert. They often get access to everything in your cell phone.

[@LifeHackster]

Which insert? The socket adapter?

[@linden5576]

I can’t figure out what’s going on with my eufy indoor camera that I have mounted to the window. It says out of data.?? What data it runs on an SD card. It worked fine for a while and then all of a sudden everything changed. I don’t know if it updated and everything‘s in a different setting or what.everything needs to slow down a little bit. It’s too fast for my butt!😅 Also, I want to know does anybody know how to wire a ring motion sensor light, that’s the ring motion sensor with the two lights no camera,. It says it’s hardwired, but how do I hook it into a plug-in?

You created a second unnecessary Alexa automation. One can do the following: When motion is detected turn on tapo light, wait 1 minute, turn off tapo light.

[@LifeHackster]

True… I made it more complicated :)
