Sengled Snap Is a Security Camera Posing as a Lightbulb

There was a time, not long ago, that all a lightbulb had to do was provide light—nothing else was expected. But LED bulbs are electronic devices and capable of much more. One such high-tech bulb is the Sengled Snap LED, which houses a wireless security camera and two-way audio intercom. Consumer Reports put the Snap through initial tests. This wide-angled LED floodlight ($150) is supposed to deliver what Sengled calls “high-quality video that can be viewed instantly or stored in the cloud.” A motion sensor starts the recording of the event, which you can see live.
