Does it need wiring or a mount?

No. It screws into a standard light socket and draws power from it.

Does it work on 5GHz WiFi?

No. It connects on 2.4GHz only; Bluetooth helps with initial pairing.

Can I use it outdoors?

It is built for socket mounting, so it suits a covered porch or indoor ceiling. Check the socket is sheltered from direct rain.

Does it record when the light switch is off?

No. It draws power from the socket, so the switch must stay on for the camera to run.

Is it worth it over a 2K bulb camera?

If you want the simplest screw-in setup, yes. If you need sharper detail or 5GHz, a 2K or 4MP model is the better fit.

Our take on the Jqimn 2.4GHz Light Bulb Security Camera

The Jqimn is a screw-in security camera that fits a standard light socket, so it needs no wiring or mounting bracket. It records 2MP HD video and connects over 2.4GHz WiFi, with Bluetooth used to help pair it during setup. It suits renters and anyone who wants a quick indoor or porch view without drilling. Against rivals, it is a basic single-band model: no 5GHz support, no local storage slot mentioned, and a 2MP sensor that trails the 2K and 4MP bulb cameras now common. Buyers rate it 4.1 out of 5 across 241 ratings, a middling score for the category.
