The best porch lights with cameras combine exterior lighting and video monitoring, but the options here differ: the WYZE Bulb Cam fits a compatible existing fixture, while the WYZE Floodlight Camera is an integrated camera and light. The LaView bulb camera offers another bulb-style option. The Yisuro and OYKYOHEI fixtures do not include cameras, but their built-in outlets can power a separate camera. Check installation and camera requirements before choosing.

| OYKYOHEI Porch Lights, 2 Pack | Two lighting locations | Motion modes and built-in outlets |
WYZE Bulb Cam
Best for: Homeowners who want a camera in a compatible E26 porch sconce rather than installing a separate camera fixture. It records in 2K HD, offers a 160-degree view, and includes color night vision and WDR to balance bright and dark areas.
The camera can be manually positioned with 360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt. This makes it useful for aiming at a doorway or approach, but the angle stays fixed after adjustment; it does not rotate remotely through the app.
- Check that the sconce is under 7.8 inches deep and has a bottom opening wider than 2.5 inches.
- Fits standard E26 sockets rated 120V, 60Hz; do not use with a dimmer switch.
Why it was selected: It is the most direct fit for someone searching for a porch light camera that uses an existing bulb socket. Limitation: Fixture dimensions and fixed camera positioning can rule it out for some installations.
WYZE Floodlight Camera v2
Best for: Buyers who need a bright outdoor light and an integrated security camera, particularly where floodlight-style illumination suits the entry or surrounding area. The camera captures 2K HD video and color night vision, while two dimmable LED lights provide up to 2800 lumens.
Its 160-degree camera view and 270-degree PIR motion detection are useful for monitoring a wider approach. Motion-activated lights can also illuminate the area when movement is detected.
Why it was selected: It combines a camera, motion detection, and substantial lighting in one product. Limitation: This is a floodlight-style product, not a conventional decorative porch sconce; consider the fixture style and installation location before choosing.
LaView 4MP Bulb Security Camera
Best for: Buyers comparing bulb-style cameras who prioritize a panoramic view and color video in low light. LaView lists 4MP resolution at 2560 by 1440 pixels, a 360-degree panoramic viewing angle, and Starlight night vision for full-color video in low-light conditions.
The product listing also describes motion detection, an audible alarm, and Alexa compatibility. These features may suit someone who wants a camera in a bulb-style form rather than a separate porch camera and light.
Why it was selected: Its stated panoramic coverage and 4MP video distinguish it from the other bulb camera option. Limitation: The supplied product details specify 2.4GHz, so check your network setup before purchasing; they do not describe a dedicated porch-light brightness level.
Yisuro Porch Light With GFCI Outlet
Best for: Buyers who need an exterior light with accessible outdoor power for a separate camera or other plug-in device. The fixture has two downward-facing GFCI outlets and three lighting modes: high, low, and manual. Its E26 ceramic socket accepts a standard dimmable LED or incandescent bulb up to 100W; the bulb is not included.
Why it was selected: The outlet can support a separate camera setup while the fixture provides porch lighting. Limitation: This product is not itself a camera, so it does not provide video monitoring on its own. The listing calls for installing it at least four feet above the ground.
OYKYOHEI Porch Lights, 2 Pack
Best for: Buyers lighting two locations who want built-in outlets for separate equipment. The listing describes motion-sensing modes, dusk-to-dawn operation, and an adjustable motion-detector test mode. Its lights are made with die-cast aluminum and tempered glass, and the outlets can power compatible devices within the stated load limit.
Why it was selected: The two-fixture format and outlets provide flexibility when planning separate lighting and camera equipment. Limitation: These fixtures do not include cameras. Choose them only if you are prepared to supply a separate camera and verify its power needs.
Buying Guide: How to Choose a Porch Light Camera
Do you need an integrated camera or a powered camera setup?
For camera and light in one product, compare the WYZE Bulb Cam with the WYZE Floodlight Camera. The bulb camera is designed for a qualifying E26 sconce, while the floodlight combines a camera with bright motion-activated lighting. The Yisuro and OYKYOHEI products are lighting fixtures with outlets, not camera systems; a separate camera is required.
Will the camera fit your porch fixture?
Measure an existing sconce before choosing a bulb camera. For the WYZE Bulb Cam, check the listed socket type, fixture depth, and opening size, and avoid dimmer switches. Also consider whether you can set the camera’s viewing angle by hand and leave it there. For any installation, verify that the product suits the location and existing electrical setup.
Which lighting and viewing features matter?
Compare the camera’s stated resolution and field of view with the area you need to monitor. A wider view can cover more of an approach, while bright motion-triggered floodlights serve a different purpose from a conventional porch fixture. Night-vision descriptions also differ: the WYZE products specify color night vision, and LaView lists Starlight color video in low light.
