GuardPlug Smart WiFi Outlet

A security camera is only half the job — the other half is making the rest of your home react automatically, and that's what GuardPlug is for. It's not a single-outlet gimmick; it's a small family of smart outlets built around how people actually wire a room. Living in the UK? Take the 4-way strip with USB and run your camera, a lamp, and your phone charger off one smart-controlled strip. In the US, pick the same 4-way-with-USB layout, a simple 2-plug version for a single lamp and appliance, or step up to the model with a built-in power meter that shows you exactly what each device is drawing — the same "know your usage" feature we kept seeing called out as the deciding factor in reviews of pricier standalone energy monitors.

Every variant is app-controlled over WiFi, so you can schedule your porch light to turn on at dusk, cut power to a space heater automatically, or shut off a curling iron you're 90% sure you unplugged — right from your phone, wherever you are. Pair it with SentryView and BeamGuard for a setup where a triggered motion light or camera alert can flip on a lamp through GuardPlug in the same routine, no extra hub required.
