Overview
SimpliSafe security system owners get a wired doorbell camera that feeds the same app and, on select monitoring plans, lets agents see video during an alarm. It runs on existing doorbell wiring with a mechanical chime.
Video verification can mean priority police dispatch on supported plans, which is the main link between this doorbell and the alarm system. Homes with a digital chime or no doorbell wiring cannot install it.
Who it's for
Households already protected by a current-generation SimpliSafe system who want doorbell alerts and video in one app. Homes on other security systems or with digital chimes should choose another doorbell.
Pros and cons
- Ties into SimpliSafe monitoring
- Wide view of the porch
- Person detection ignores animals
- Activity zones reduce alerts
- Mechanical chime required
- Video verification needs select plans
- Only 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
Performance notes
Alert quality depends on Smart Person Detection telling people from cars and animals, and on activity zones trimmed to the walkway. Power comes from the doorbell transformer, so a transformer outside the listed range will cause problems.
