Whitehouse Products Inc. was a camera manufacturer based in Brooklyn, New York, USA. It made simple plastic snapshot models, branded Beacon. Early Beacon models had collapsible lens panels; collapsing the panel disabled the shutter. Early models featured a B shutter setting, which was removed on later examples. The Beacon II and Two-Twenty-Five were fitted for mounting a flashgun.

The later Reflex model was almost identical to the Ansco Cadet Reflex.
