I have a porch light that the bulb base faces down and the bulb points up like a regular house lamp. I want to put an outdoor light bulb camera in the socket to watch my front yard and car. I can’t find one that where the camera points in the right direction for an upright light bulb socket. I need it to be wet/outdoor safe, around the size of a regular light bulb, doesn’t have any/much visible wires, and looks somewhat inconspicuous.

I was hoping to find an all-in-one bulb and camera that doubles as my porch light. I’m also trying to find some type of adapter with a built–in camera that screws into the lamp socket and sits between the bulb socket and allows a light bulb to screw into it.

Finding an upright facing bulb is causing the most problems because most of the bulb cameras are designed to face downward from a light in the ceiling.

RTSP or CCTV only access would be best but I don’t really care if it uses a shady app. I would rather avoid analog cameras.

Does anyone know of any light bulb cameras or camera socket adapter like this?

Examples of what I’m calling an “upright porch light”:

We bought a house with a monitored Honeywell based system. We like the provider but the components are very pricey and dificult to reconfigure as we live actively in our house.

We like to repupose rooms and i am always working on our home network. I build my own PC’s from scratch and i like to experiment. We live in the country so cellular has some issues. We have fiber to the house.

When we first expanded our network the wifi honeywell cameras did not adapt. I had to call the technician and tgey had a difficult time getting the cameras back on. I offered to run ethernet to the cameras but they advised against it.

Then our modem died and i bought a new one. On top of that we live on 5 acres on wooded piece of land and i asked about adding cameras. At that time they quoted almost $300 each. Keep in mind most of the house is monitored by motion deetecters which kind of suck when you have kids and pets i had major sticker shock. When i asked about a cheaper alternative the technician did not seem to get what i was asking. The key pad is Honeywell and is propriotary.

So we started putting up our own cameras, wyze. They are ok inside but require major mod for outdoor and even that is limiting.

So we got a cheaper chinese camera which is ok. But now i have all these systems and i wonder if there is not a better way.

Sorry for the length and i appreciate any input from anyone.
