A smart bulb holder CCTV camera provides a compact approach to combining lighting installation with video surveillance. It can be positioned in a compatible ceiling or wall socket while providing access to camera functions through supported software. Features may include wireless connectivity, HD video, motion detection, night vision, remote viewing, two-way audio, and recording. Applications can include smart homes, apartments, offices, shops, reception areas, and other indoor spaces where users want convenient monitoring without installing a traditional camera bracket.
