The PGST camera bulb conceals a Wi-Fi surveillance camera inside a standard light bulb form factor, providing discreet monitoring that is invisible to any visitor.
PGST camera bulb: covert surveillance
The PGST camera bulb screws into any compatible standard light socket (typically E27). From the outside, it looks like an ordinary bulb. This makes it an exceptionally effective surveillance tool in rooms where visible cameras would be inappropriate or could be easily disabled by an intruder.
PGST camera bulb: features
The camera connects to your home Wi-Fi and streams live video to the PGST app on your smartphone. Built-in motion detection triggers instant push notifications. Its wide-angle lens from ceiling height covers a significant portion of the room. Some models include infrared night vision for continuous monitoring.
PGST camera bulb: installation
Simply screw the camera into a compatible light socket. Power comes directly from the electrical circuit — no battery or additional cable needed. Then configure the Wi-Fi connection via the PGST app. Note: the camera requires the socket’s circuit switch to remain in the ON position for continuous operation.
5 key takeaways about the PGST camera bulb
- Covert surveillance: bulb appearance makes it undetectable to visitors.
- Ultra-simple installation: screw into existing socket, direct electrical power.
- Wi-Fi connected: live feed accessible from your smartphone via the PGST app.
- Wide-angle coverage: captures a large area from ceiling height.
- Motion detection: instant push notification on activity detection.
FAQ — PGST camera bulb
Which socket type is compatible?
Most PGST camera bulb models are compatible with E27 sockets (the most common in Europe). Check your model’s specifications for socket compatibility.
Will the camera stop working if I switch off the light?
Yes. The camera is powered by the socket’s electrical circuit. If the switch cuts power to the socket, the camera will also power off. Keep the switch in the ON position for continuous monitoring.
Is the PGST camera bulb compatible with the PGST alarm panel?
Check the compatibility specifications of your camera bulb model and PGST panel. The PGST app can centralise camera and alarm management for a unified experience.

PGST Bulb Camera: Discreet 360° Surveillance in a Standard Socket
The PGST bulb camera combines an LED light source and a wide-angle surveillance camera in a single unit that screws into any standard E27 socket — the most common lamp socket in European fittings. It sets up in minutes via the PGST app and looks identical to a regular light bulb, making it discreet in any room: entrance halls, garages, corridors, storage rooms or offices. Its appearance gives no visible indication that a surveillance device is present.
Once installed, it functions simultaneously as a working light and a connected security camera. Motion detection triggers instant push notifications and a video recording. Live footage is accessible through the PGST app from anywhere. Unlike visible security cameras, the bulb camera does not signal the presence of a surveillance system, which may be an advantage in contexts where discretion is preferred.
Frequently Asked Questions — PGST Bulb Camera
Can it provide light and record simultaneously?
Yes, both functions operate simultaneously and independently. The PGST bulb camera illuminates the room via its integrated LEDs while continuously monitoring and recording. You can switch the lighting on or off through the PGST app without interrupting surveillance. Some models allow scheduled lighting hours to be programmed. Monitoring — motion detection, recording and push notifications — remains active even when the light is off, thanks to the built-in infrared night vision.
What is the viewing angle of the bulb camera?
The PGST bulb camera offers a very wide viewing angle, typically between 180 and 360 degrees depending on the model. Fisheye lens models provide panoramic coverage of an entire room from a central ceiling point — ideal for a corridor ceiling or a square room. The panoramic image can be digitally “unfolded” in the PGST app for a more natural view of different room sectors. This wide coverage reduces the number of cameras needed to monitor a given space compared with conventional fixed-angle cameras.
The bulb camera’s fisheye lens covers 180-360° from a single ceiling point and can be digitally “unfolded” in the app for a more natural view — but it only works while the socket’s own switch stays on, since it draws power directly from the light circuit.
