Is this camera waterproof?

We have had some torrential rain in the last week and my cameras have survived without an issue. Waterproof and water resistant are 2 completely different terms. I would say these are water resistant. There really isn't much that water proof, just varying degrees of water resistance.

Does the camera format the micro sd card automatically? i inserted a new sd card, but there was no indication that it was being formatted on the app.

Yes the camera will format your sd card, but it is not easy to figure our from the manufacturer's included instructions. Windows 10 will not be able to format the card if it too large (32-128gb) since it needs to be formatted in the archaic FAT32 . If you insert your card in the slot, then apply power to the bulb camera, look at your phone app. In the video view , it will pull up a window saying that your card is not correctly formatted and if you want to format it. DON'T do it here! Hit cancel, then go to the three buttons on the top right, open settings, Storage settings, and choose Format.

Is it actually also a light bulb？

It does emit light but not really like a normal light bul, light is only one small part of the device unlike a regular bulb where the entire surface is emitting light and it is a cool white instead of a natural or warm colored light.

How do you keep people from stealing it

Install it inside a locked box? Actually, no method to keep items from stealing no matter which brand;s camera it is if it is installed outside. But our camera will capture the movement of the thief and save them as pictures and send your phone notifications to help you catch the thief.
