The SimpliSafe Video Doorbell ensures you're always aware of what's happening at your door. Its crystal-clear 1080p HD video and an ultra-wide 162° field of view provide a comprehensive look at your surroundings.
With the SimpliSafe App, you'll receive instant alerts the moment someone approaches your door. This feature ensures you're always informed about any visitors or potential intruders in real-time.
Enhance your home security by connecting the doorbell camera to the latest SimpliSafe security system for 24/7 full home protection. The video verification feature allows professional monitoring agents to verify break-ins, which can lead to a faster police response.
The camera is designed to detect people while ignoring other distractions. This is achieved through Activity Zones and Smart Person Detection, which differentiate between people, vehicles, and animals.
An added security measure is the 2-way audio, allowing you to talk to unwanted guests and inform them that they are on camera, potentially deterring intruders before any trouble starts.
The doorbell camera is built to withstand extreme weather conditions, such as rain and snow, ensuring reliable performance year-round. Users are advised to set up Activity Zones in the SimpliSafe App to minimize unnecessary notifications, like those caused by road traffic.
For installation, the doorbell requires a Wi-Fi connection (2.4GHz), an existing wired doorbell setup with a mechanical chime, and a transformer with 8-24 VAC, 30VA max. Note that it is not compatible with digital chimes.
