Please don't take this the wrong way I'm older too but it's refreshing and very cool to see someone closer to my age be tech savvy that's first and foremost. Secondly your patience is awesome taking rhe time to explain things I was very tech savvy but lately I just been forgetting some of the steps but I truly love your videos thank you for your time you really helped me out with a few things I've forgotten about . Awesome video ❤ keep them coming . 😊
@@AlabamaGrannyKnows It sound like you have 5g wifi service and the camera requires 2.4G. This means you can not use the camera, you need to find a wifi 5g type camera. When you select cameras and other devices in the future, look for the wifi type required to operate before purchasing.
@@samowens44 Thank You! When I ordered it, the advertisement said it was compatible with the 5G, but once it got delivered, it told me ....of course....it wasn't, however that it could be switched over? And of course I have no idea on how to do that. So at this point, I am going to take an old Smart phone and download the Alfred app and use it as a security camera this way.
Thank you very much for such detailed explanation. This is my first time using the lightbulb camera and I must say that it wasn't easy. I'm already using security cameras in my house and apartment but this is a different setup. You made it a whole lot easier to figure it out.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP. I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!!
Thank you very much for this video. I watched a lot of videos on this and not one answered my questions. Then I found your video and it relieved my frustration. Please keep posting videos.
Thanks so much Sam. Your detailed explanation helped a bunch. Had similar trouble with the password. I changed it several times. But finally went back to the router password printed right on the router. I used your video and the printed document included with the camera. I reviewed the videos made by the manufacturer( mine was Jennov). Shall I say that some things were lost in translation. However I applaud their tech support. They never gave up on getting me hooked up.
I just bought this camera, arriving tomorrow. The one star comments say software is full of ads and must subscribe to view more than 10 seconds of video. Some also say that the camera locks up after the Amazon return window closes. You give me hope that this might actually work.
Oh boy am I glad I found your video! I am one of those people whom you speak of that needs detailed instruction lol. I am in the process of purchasing two lightbulb cameras and was wondering how to make the most of them. Thank you. My question is, will all this work with any light bulb camera or the specific one you are using now?
Yes, I too appreciate your detailed show and tell. First thanks for showing the lightbulb cams can be used upside down which would be necessary in my case. That would allow me to use one in my porch light fixture. That solves the problem of powering the camera. But takes away my porchlight. BTW when using these cams in the motion detector mode, do they light up the area at the same time? Thanks
Question, I don't have a users manual with mine. And it doesn't look like there's a power cord for it, I think mine powers up when I screw it into a light socket. It has a memory card slot and reset button and that's it. So I'm hoping wherever you go to download the software or app, that the settings are there??
Thank you so much for the awesome detail video. Definitely have helped me tremendously in understanding how the camera works and how set it up. Learn so much from you. Was wondering if you can me some pointers on reading the sd card on a mac book pro. When I try to view the videos nothing comes and giving me a message that the card is not readable. Thanks
@mhon6159 look at the File type for the video, if it is .264 you will need the VLC Player to play the video. Most video are MP4 file type. Just download the VLC Player. It is free. You can also convert the file type using a video converter.

I can't get my Sightbulb to record at a specific time using the app. I have tried several times to do this by setting the start and stop time settings, then saving, but it doesn't work for me. I have looked online and can find no information on trouble shooting this. Can you help me?
Hello Please answer this question..In my house sometimes the power goes off then comes back after some minutes..Will the camera turn itself on if the power comes back or i have to go there and turn it on?
Hi Sam, your video is great, just need to confirm 1 thing, if I use the SD card and the camera detected motion, will it record automatically and stored it in the sd card? Will I be able to watch the recording through the app anytime without having to take out the sd card to watch it on my pc/laptop? I guess I’m trying to figure out if someone steal the sd card or the camera will I still have the recording on the app? Sorry for the lengthy question!
If you loose your mem card you losse your video. You would need to subscribe to the cloud service offered by the camera people. Then your video is all stored in the cloud and you have it anytime you want even if they steal the camera.

Wow grazie Sir from italy huge hug to you 🙏❤ you really help me out , i was confuse , plus im a that type of girl who really struggle with this kind of things 🤯 , if it wasn't for you sir i will prob leave this camera in some dark corner of my condo🤷 😅 BRAVO 👏👍 THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU ✨️🫶
Yes, you can add another camera to the app. Just select add camera and go through the setup procedure. After you add the second camera, you will see a selection for two cameras, just can only select one at a time.
Any tips when the bulb camera will not respond the the Q mark code? I tried both a new and 5 year old cell phone with no luck. I am using the same app you use. I think the box the camera came in might be slightly different but other than that the camera looks identical.
@n1kkri you can not go by the looks of camera. You need to know the correct app for the camera. You need the user guide for the camera. You might search internet with model number. Find the right app.
@jparker5025 Yes, and you have to go to settings and play with the sensitivity setting for motion detection. If there is a tree branch or other item moving in the view of the cam, it thinks it is a person. Put setting on highest level for detection and you may get more real notifications.

Your information is new to me and much appreciated. As I just got the camera I need help to figure out how to insert the Memory Card. It doesn't seem to want to go in. Please advise!
@user-rk8em9dn3y The memory card needs to be guided in very carefully. It can miss the slot for connection and go into the side and drop into the housing. Just take the card, and I think I show the direction to place card in the video. If it does not want to go, you need to turn it over and guide it in carefully, it should hit a point that you feel the spring action. Now, one more point, the slot is off to the side of the round mount and the memory card will stick up higher on one side when it is installed. Sorry, they did this, but it requires some careful action to not install into the side slot and loose the card in the housing. You can do it now with these cautions. Just let me know if you still have problems. Here is another video I made that shows the card insertion. ua-cam.com/video/gfGqW_ZI81o/v-deo.html The section you want to see starts about 24 seconds into the video.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP. I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!
And what is your camera type? Mine doesn't even have a name on the camera so I'm at a disadvantage there. It looks just like yours though. So I need to know what the app is that you downloaded
@@marywatson8133 No, you can not just use any app. You have to know what app your camera uses. without the instruction manual, it may be hard to find. All the instructions in the user manual for your camera are "NECESSARY" to set up and operate your camera. It is best to buy a new camera and save those instruction, so you can use them again if you need to reset the camera.
I just got my lightbulb camera and it's working great. The only problem is that there is no way to talk to the person outside. I can hear what's going on, but can't talk from my tablet through the camera. There is no microphone symbol on my tablet's screen.

Sam !..thx so much for this wonderful video !..Sam...i am a dinosaur... it has been difficult being an anolog geezer trying to comprehend this digital age...If you would be so kind, plz tell me if i need a micro sd card ? and what is the largest i can use for the basic trend makers sight bulb....Thx again and Merry Christmas....B.K.
@billking698 thanks for your nice comment to me. I understand the challenges for folks that do not have a strong basic for this new age of computers. You and others like you are who I direct video with a lot of detail as possible. You do need a memory card to store the video you capture. I would use a 64Gig memory card the little micro SD. Now the best way to view the video is to remove the card and place it in the card reader of your Lap Top or PC. Then you can view the video on a big screen. You can watch video on the card through the app, but it is small and can be timely. If you are not familiar with working with memory cards and viewing, get someone you know that can help and ask them to put the video in a playlist for the video player and it will be a nice way to look at the video. You you search my UA-cam channel, I believe I have a video that demonstrates the process. Just search for it. Good Luck.
The Light Bulb Camera only supports 2.4 wifi. All Wifi now is at least 2.4 with 5 as an option when available. That is selected at your WiFi router. If you have it set to 5G, the lightbulb camera will not work.
@@samowens44 Thanks for the reply. I found light, but it only stays on for a few seconds then turns off. I have also sent a message to the seller on Amazon, but I didn't notice it was Woot! They do not ever answer questions. I liked them but I guess they go back. It's too dark out here without any light. Thanks again!
@aw1359 Yes I will post another video showing a new Light Bulb Camera that works really well and is waterproof. Here is the link to the video and the link to the product is in the description. ua-cam.com/video/s8edYSJ_Ew0/v-deo.html
I have it and I love it but only issue is I can only watch it over my phone and one phone at that when I log into another phone it logs me out the other phone. But ok so on to the real issue is there a way I can watch my lightbulb camera on my tv and phone at the same time.
@bnb3g hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can watch the video display that appears on you smart phone. Use the Screen Mirroring feature on your Smart Phone. Wipe down from the right top side of the screen. You will see the icon. Two rectangles at an angle to each other. I have a Samsung 4 series TV and when I use the feature, I see a full display on my TV. It is cool and you can view anything on your phone that way. I have an Iphone 15. Don't know if this works with all smart phones. Check it out. Good Luck, it is just what you need for your needs.
@@samowens44 I guess I should’ve been more specific but thanks I alrdy knew about that option which is nice if your not using your phone guess I’ll have to get and ipad and use it so I can have it connected to my tv at all times when I’m home and just use the phone app when I’m not at home to see the tv.
Sam can u PLEASE help me understand 2 things: HOW do you use the camera without plugging it into a light/lamp, u how you have yours sitting on the counter plugged into the outlet? How? With what plug? 2. How do u minimize (make the whole camera screen smaller) the pic of the live feed on your phone/tablet to use other apps on your device while still viewing the cameras live feed. Its 5am & im still up trying to figure that out lol. HELP!!*
@kialavonne370 first the camera can only work screwed into a light socket with power on it. For ease a lamp with the shade removed will work. The second thing you ask about viewing camera live feed and other apps on your phone. You can only work with one app at a time. So when you view the camera video, you are viewing it through the camera app. Hope this helps your understanding. Oh one more thing. When you mount the camera with bulb up, the video will be upside down. Go to the settings and there is a setting to switch the video upright. Look at all settings to find it.
By giving access of our camera to this application, what exact access are we giving them? Does this mean someone else can monitor the videos? Thank you
@ag3623 well it is simple, you must give the app access to you photos and video, mic and sound to operate. For someone to watch your stuff, they would have to be able to get your sign in and password. I don't think hackers are interested in spending the time to do this for a home camera. Just enjoy your camera, hackers want big companies where they can make money.
Search on Amazon for light bulb camera. There are many to choose from. Compare features of some and make a decision. They all operate basically the same.
@jeanchaff7447 you just screw the base into any light socket. You will have to reset camera to factory settings before you can use it. If the people that owned it and connected to the app, you will have to reset camera back to factory settings. You must not have a user manual. Good luck, I can not help you, too much to teach about apps sign up and all that takes to get the camera to work with “just the camera”. For the future, anything you buy that connects to an app needs a user manual to tell you how to set the camera up. Do not ever by a camera of any kind without a user manual. No one can help you.
@boblevy it is hard to tell you the problem without seeing how you set it all up. I have several videos and I cover all steps to set camera up properly. Look at all my lightbulb camera videos. I explain everything you need to know.
@@samowens44 Sam thank you so much, I have tried to reset start over, it still does not work for me and I an MSEE. I have to be doing something very wrong because it is so simple.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP. I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!
i just hooked mine up from watching your utube and thank you so much, but its upside down i watched one of your other videosand u had like a C next tothe thing up top that for settings to change yours but i dont have that C thingy!!! so its recording everything upside down
@nanaof9412 you will find the setting to turn video around in the settings section of app. Just look at the list, it is near the beginning. I have several videos dealing with the Light Bulb camera.
mine is totally different, i did watch your utube but my app doesnt have the flip screen . my camera had me download ... ease life is that the wrong app?
Would you mind mentioning the brand of your camera? I’m in the process of ordering one and I am curious to know which one does not offer the viewing angle setting?
@@jodileigh571 the camera I demonstrated is no longer available. I did get another camera that I think is better, it is waterproof and will pan 360 degrees. Here is the link. amzn.to/3J3KqzY
I bought one of this light bulb camera, but I can't not use it because I do not have Internet. Can this camera be use with out internet? where is the memory card goes on this camera?
You are leaving out a lot of information needed to help you. I am not sure of an answer. Offline means the camera is not connected to a WiFi signal. The camera must be set up with the app. You have to first download the app and follow the screen set procedure.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP. I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!
Is it True,, that after using the bulb security camera app after some time the Makers of the app will shut your bulb camera off if you do not send them payments to continue to use their app? I don't want to make payments in order to use my bulb security camera. Do you make payments to use the app? Thank you if you can help and thanks for your video demo.
Sam, thank you posting this important instructional video.Does the YSE Lite have to be powere up with the power cord like your set up depicted here ?.If youcould contact me via email please let me know.I will be returning back to this video,George.
@cheriestern5822 To allow more people to view your camera, there is a feature called Sharing. You would need the person that wants to connect to your camera download the app. Then you would need to go through the procedure of entering the persons email into your sharing section of setup. You need to read the manual on sharing and follow the setup. It is too hard to explain in this comment.
Mine will not notify me when there is activity. I can only go into the app and click on the camera to view it. Can you explain how to get a notification on your phone when there is activity?
@ephesienjeudy6354 on your cell phone click on the Settings icon, gear symbol. Go down to the Apps section look for app Yi Lot and click on it. Click on notifications and then allow all.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP. I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!
Well that requires a lot more information, but I will start with download the app and follow setup in user manual that comes with the camera. When you get it connected to the app and to your WiFi, it should all be working. Your smartphone has to be on the same WiFi as the camera for the initial setup. Smartphone can not be on cellular service. That is how you turn it on.
You need to make sure the location of camera is getting a strong enough signal. Move close to WiFi router and see if it works good. If it does your location is too far or too many obstacles.

@sea-zo8ko Yes, you can format the card through your app and delete all the photos and video recorder easily. Just go to the settings and find format section. Or, you can remove the card, place it in the card reader adapter and put into the card reader of your PC. You can then delete the card contents and put it back in the machine. There is no need, as the camera records over the oldest video or photos. So you can just keep on recording and you will have the latest video within the scope of the size of you memory card. Good Luck.
notifications will drive you nuts with every time a car go down the road. That is just one reason. These are options only, use them if they fit, they are just features you have control. Tracking will track cars and other things. You get notification on anything the camera does.
Ok, now please answer honestly. I live in a RV park and we have free WiFi. They give me a password to use so I could log in to use the WiFi. Will that work to use on this camera.
It has been discontinued. Here is one I like now. Check out my link to video. Look in description for link to the product. ua-cam.com/video/s8edYSJ_Ew0/v-deo.html

Any tips when the bulb camera will not respond the the Q mark code? I tried both a new and 5 year old cell phone with no luck. I am using the same app you use. I think the box the camera came in might be slightly different but other than that the camera looks identical.
@n1kkri you can not go by the looks of camera. You need to know the correct app for the camera. You need the user guide for the camera. You might search internet with model number. Find the right app.
Sam, have you had any problems with the camera not detecting people the alarm goes off after the person has left
@jparker5025 Yes, and you have to go to settings and play with the sensitivity setting for motion detection. If there is a tree branch or other item moving in the view of the cam, it thinks it is a person. Put setting on highest level for detection and you may get more real notifications.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP.
I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!
There’s a lot of security lightbulbs on Amazon. Can you send the link for that particular one please
Sorry to say the model I use in video is no longer available.
You have noticed that in motion detection and tracking the camera only does pan, but no tilt. In manual PTZ mode you can do pan & tilt.
Hi I just got a package of 4 cameras can you show me how to set up more the one camera on my cel phone

Your information is new to me and much appreciated. As I just got the camera I need help to figure out how to insert the Memory Card. It doesn't seem to want to go in. Please advise!
@user-rk8em9dn3y The memory card needs to be guided in very carefully. It can miss the slot for connection and go into the side and drop into the housing. Just take the card, and I think I show the direction to place card in the video. If it does not want to go, you need to turn it over and guide it in carefully, it should hit a point that you feel the spring action. Now, one more point, the slot is off to the side of the round mount and the memory card will stick up higher on one side when it is installed. Sorry, they did this, but it requires some careful action to not install into the side slot and loose the card in the housing. You can do it now with these cautions. Just let me know if you still have problems. Here is another video I made that shows the card insertion. ua-cam.com/video/gfGqW_ZI81o/v-deo.html The section you want to see starts about 24 seconds into the video.

What app do u have to download? I got my lightbulb camera second hand
Please...there seem to be so many scam apps out there wanting subscriptions..
And what is your camera type? Mine doesn't even have a name on the camera so I'm at a disadvantage there. It looks just like yours though. So I need to know what the app is that you downloaded
Yi lot is the app I used.
@@samowens44 So you can use any app? I'm in the same condition as the person above.
@@marywatson8133 No, you can not just use any app. You have to know what app your camera uses. without the instruction manual, it may be hard to find. All the instructions in the user manual for your camera are "NECESSARY" to set up and operate your camera. It is best to buy a new camera and save those instruction, so you can use them again if you need to reset the camera.
I just got my lightbulb camera and it's working great. The only problem is that there is no way to talk to the person outside. I can hear what's going on, but can't talk from my tablet through the camera. There is no microphone symbol on my tablet's screen.
You have to push the microphone button to talk.
Thanks for the details sir
Who manages the application? Is this application one from a company in the USA? If not what country? Thank you
I don’t know.
Love you're video very helpful thank you 😊

Sam !..thx so much for this wonderful video !..Sam...i am a dinosaur... it has been difficult being an anolog geezer trying to comprehend this digital age...If you would be so kind, plz tell me if i need a micro sd card ? and what is the largest i can use for the basic trend makers sight bulb....Thx again and Merry Christmas....B.K.
@billking698 thanks for your nice comment to me. I understand the challenges for folks that do not have a strong basic for this new age of computers. You and others like you are who I direct video with a lot of detail as possible. You do need a memory card to store the video you capture. I would use a 64Gig memory card the little micro SD. Now the best way to view the video is to remove the card and place it in the card reader of your Lap Top or PC. Then you can view the video on a big screen. You can watch video on the card through the app, but it is small and can be timely. If you are not familiar with working with memory cards and viewing, get someone you know that can help and ask them to put the video in a playlist for the video player and it will be a nice way to look at the video. You you search my UA-cam channel, I believe I have a video that demonstrates the process. Just search for it. Good Luck.
SAM !...Thank you for your genrosity and kindness sharing your knowledge is a gift !.. I will do as you say....Thx again...B.K.@@samowens44
Hi what is the light bulb camara brand in this video
It is no longer available on Amazon.
How can I keep constant power if I don't have it set up in the light socket
Does this support 2.4 wifi. And how do I change to 2.4. I don't have 5
The Light Bulb Camera only supports 2.4 wifi. All Wifi now is at least 2.4 with 5 as an option when available. That is selected at your WiFi router. If you have it set to 5G, the lightbulb camera will not work.
hi, how can I get the light to stay on at night? Like a normal light bulb? Ty so much!
Look carefully through all the settings and look for light. Open each one, it may be under another button.😇
@@samowens44 Thanks for the reply. I found light, but it only stays on for a few seconds then turns off. I have also sent a message to the seller on Amazon, but I didn't notice it was Woot! They do not ever answer questions. I liked them but I guess they go back. It's too dark out here without any light. Thanks again!
Sam! Help! I would really like to get this camera. Can you please post what brand it is? Thank you!!
@aw1359 Yes I will post another video showing a new Light Bulb Camera that works really well and is waterproof. Here is the link to the video and the link to the product is in the description. ua-cam.com/video/s8edYSJ_Ew0/v-deo.html
I have it and I love it but only issue is I can only watch it over my phone and one phone at that when I log into another phone it logs me out the other phone. But ok so on to the real issue is there a way I can watch my lightbulb camera on my tv and phone at the same time.
@bnb3g hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can watch the video display that appears on you smart phone. Use the Screen Mirroring feature on your Smart Phone. Wipe down from the right top side of the screen. You will see the icon. Two rectangles at an angle to each other. I have a Samsung 4 series TV and when I use the feature, I see a full display on my TV. It is cool and you can view anything on your phone that way. I have an Iphone 15. Don't know if this works with all smart phones. Check it out. Good Luck, it is just what you need for your needs.
@@samowens44 I guess I should’ve been more specific but thanks I alrdy knew about that option which is nice if your not using your phone guess I’ll have to get and ipad and use it so I can have it connected to my tv at all times when I’m home and just use the phone app when I’m not at home to see the tv.
Sam can u PLEASE help me understand 2 things: HOW do you use the camera without plugging it into a light/lamp, u how you have yours sitting on the counter plugged into the outlet? How? With what plug?
2. How do u minimize (make the whole camera screen smaller) the pic of the live feed on your phone/tablet to use other apps on your device while still viewing the cameras live feed. Its 5am & im still up trying to figure that out lol. HELP!!*
@kialavonne370 first the camera can only work screwed into a light socket with power on it. For ease a lamp with the shade removed will work. The second thing you ask about viewing camera live feed and other apps on your phone. You can only work with one app at a time. So when you view the camera video, you are viewing it through the camera app. Hope this helps your understanding. Oh one more thing. When you mount the camera with bulb up, the video will be upside down. Go to the settings and there is a setting to switch the video upright. Look at all settings to find it.
LINK TO BUY RHIS CAMERA?? (please)
thank you for this info on this device
By giving access of our camera to this application, what exact access are we giving them? Does this mean someone else can monitor the videos? Thank you
@ag3623 well it is simple, you must give the app access to you photos and video, mic and sound to operate. For someone to watch your stuff, they would have to be able to get your sign in and password. I don't think hackers are interested in spending the time to do this for a home camera. Just enjoy your camera, hackers want big companies where they can make money.
Awesome demonstration
Hi your videos are great.
Can you help I'm having trouble down loading the camera app
You just scan the QR code for the app in the user manual. It will display the App. Then Get it.
thank you my friend you are awesome
Can you give a link where to buy one….
Search on Amazon for light bulb camera. There are many to choose from. Compare features of some and make a decision. They all operate basically the same.
Where does the power cord hook to the camera? I got mine at a yard sale and it didn't come with a power cord?
@jeanchaff7447 you just screw the base into any light socket. You will have to reset camera to factory settings before you can use it. If the people that owned it and connected to the app, you will have to reset camera back to factory settings. You must not have a user manual. Good luck, I can not help you, too much to teach about apps sign up and all that takes to get the camera to work with “just the camera”. For the future, anything you buy that connects to an app needs a user manual to tell you how to set the camera up. Do not ever by a camera of any kind without a user manual. No one can help you.
Thank you @@samowens44
Sam my app shows the camera is armed but I get no vidoe it's driving crazy! Can you please help me.
@boblevy it is hard to tell you the problem without seeing how you set it all up. I have several videos and I cover all steps to set camera up properly. Look at all my lightbulb camera videos. I explain everything you need to know.
@@samowens44 Sam thank you so much, I have tried to reset start over, it still does not work for me and I an MSEE. I have to be doing something very wrong because it is so simple.
I keep getting wifi connection fialed....
Which app can I use to add my upultra camera
YI Lot works with all the light Bulb cameras.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP.
I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!
i just hooked mine up from watching your utube and thank you so much, but its upside down i watched one of your other videosand u had like a C next tothe thing up top that for settings to change yours but i dont have that C thingy!!! so its recording everything upside down
@nanaof9412 you will find the setting to turn video around in the settings section of app. Just look at the list, it is near the beginning. I have several videos dealing with the Light Bulb camera.
mine is totally different, i did watch your utube but my app doesnt have the flip screen . my camera had me download ... ease life is that the wrong app?
Would you mind mentioning the brand of your camera? I’m in the process of ordering one and I am curious to know which one does not offer the viewing angle setting?
@@jodileigh571 the camera I demonstrated is no longer available. I did get another camera that I think is better, it is waterproof and will pan 360 degrees. Here is the link. amzn.to/3J3KqzY
I bought one of this light bulb camera, but I can't not use it because I do not have Internet.
Can this camera be use with out internet?
where is the memory card goes on this camera?
Hi Sam, I getting an offline message when we plug in to the light fixture. Please advise on how to get past that.
You are leaving out a lot of information needed to help you. I am not sure of an answer. Offline means the camera is not connected to a WiFi signal. The camera must be set up with the app. You have to first download the app and follow the screen set procedure.
Sam is that an UPULTRA product?
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP.

Thanks Sam for sharing ❤
Is it True,, that after using the bulb security camera app after some time the Makers of the app will shut your bulb camera off if you do not send them payments to continue to use their app?
I don't want to make payments in order to use my bulb security camera.
Do you make payments to use the app?
Thank you if you can help and thanks for your video demo.
WHAT BRAND IS THE CAMERA AND APP???
What size sd card? Is it micro?
64gb micro memory
@@samowens44 thanks so much will you take 1terabite?
Where is the QR code on the cameras?How to add more than 1 camera initially?Thanks fot video.
you may need to look at the user manual for your product. There you will find the details about what you ask.
Do cameras work outside?
The camera is not waterproof, so, it must be mounted in a dry location.
Great video thnk u
How do I make the motion sensor
You look for the gear icon for settings. Just lo at each item and open up. It will be under one of them.
how you get it too connected say some thing a bout network is all is keep saying
Sam, thank you posting this important instructional video.Does the YSE Lite have to be powere up with the power cord like your set up depicted here ?.If youcould contact me via email please let me know.I will be returning back to this video,George.
The power setup I used was to demonstrate. You can screw the bulb camera into any light socket. Even a lamp.
can u lock the camera position?
Turn off WiFi for Camera and it will record, but you can not move the camera. You can move by hand only then.
Can anyone tell me if I can use the camera as a light? It appears in using this I will no longer have a light?
How do you turn of and on the light
Can more than one phone be connected to a single camera?
@cheriestern5822 To allow more people to view your camera, there is a feature called Sharing. You would need the person that wants to connect to your camera download the app. Then you would need to go through the procedure of entering the persons email into your sharing section of setup. You need to read the manual on sharing and follow the setup. It is too hard to explain in this comment.
What sd card does I t take,size?
64Gig Memory card works best
Can it work on 12v?
It only works on a/c voltage.
What's the name of the app you use
YI LOT IS THE APP.
i am trying to use the hotspot on my phone to set it up
Mine will not notify me when there is activity. I can only go into the app and click on the camera to view it. Can you explain how to get a notification on your phone when there is activity?
@ephesienjeudy6354 on your cell phone click on the Settings icon, gear symbol. Go down to the Apps section look for app Yi Lot and click on it. Click on notifications and then allow all.
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP.

How do you turn it on
Well that requires a lot more information, but I will start with download the app and follow setup in user manual that comes with the camera. When you get it connected to the app and to your WiFi, it should all be working. Your smartphone has to be on the same WiFi as the camera for the initial setup. Smartphone can not be on cellular service. That is how you turn it on.
@@samowens44 have everything set up but take for ever load up when I get alert on my phone
You need to make sure the location of camera is getting a strong enough signal. Move close to WiFi router and see if it works good. If it does your location is too far or too many obstacles.
How do you delete recordings?
Go to settings and format the mem card or remove the Memory card, place it in computer and delete all or only the video you want to delete😀.
thank you for your help.
It was hard to set up. Then when on the wifi ,my video was fading ,it gave me green screen on the recordings. Then video fade away
Sorry I don’t know the answer to your problem. Sounds like camera ha a problem.
Is there any hidden payments to use the APP camera?,, and if so how much a month to use the APP?
No, just use your camera the way you want.
I can view it remotely for some reason….any suggestions?
It's been said,, after using the Lightbulb Camera APP in time they will Shut OFF the APP unless you make monthly payments to use the APP.
I hear it is very expensive to continue to use the APP!😊
I hope you can help I'm really bad with computers

Can you clear the card and start recording over again
@sea-zo8ko Yes, you can format the card through your app and delete all the photos and video recorder easily. Just go to the settings and find format section. Or, you can remove the card, place it in the card reader adapter and put into the card reader of your PC. You can then delete the card contents and put it back in the machine. There is no need, as the camera records over the oldest video or photos. So you can just keep on recording and you will have the latest video within the scope of the size of you memory card. Good Luck.
Why wouldn't you want notifications or tracking?
notifications will drive you nuts with every time a car go down the road. That is just one reason. These are options only, use them if they fit, they are just features you have control. Tracking will track cars and other things. You get notification on anything the camera does.
what's the app called
Yes, I would like to know the Cloud Pricing? and app name or link too
Ok, now please answer honestly. I live in a RV park and we have free WiFi. They give me a password to use so I could log in to use the WiFi. Will that work to use on this camera.
Should be fine as long as the signal is good enough for your camera.
How does the app tell me the camera is seeing something
I purchased two light bulb camera's, it did not come with the memory card. I only worked for less than 10 days. I tried to reset it but no luck
You do have to hold the reset button for a while. Good Luck.
I saved your video under sam the man
