Yes, light bulb cameras work with the light function completely off — the camera runs on the socket's electrical current regardless of whether the visible LED bulb is switched on.

A light bulb camera like the WESECUU E27 model draws power directly from the socket at all times, so the imaging hardware, WiFi connection, and recording functions stay active even when the built-in light is disabled through the app. Night vision switches automatically between color mode in low ambient light and infrared mode in complete darkness, so the camera continues capturing footage around the clock without the visible bulb running.

  • WESECUU bulb cameras use IR LEDs for night vision in complete darkness, covering up to 33 feet.
  • The light function and camera function are independently controlled through the EseeCloud or Truisee app.
  • Color night vision on WESECUU bulb cameras requires some ambient light; full IR mode produces black-and-white footage.
  • Local microSD recording (up to 128GB) continues uninterrupted regardless of the light setting.
