  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
