SimpliSafeWireless Outdoor Security Camera,1080p, Motion only

This is my 2nd SimpliSafe outdoor cam purchase. Been using one on the east coast for over a year now, and this one will live on the west coast. Cameras are easy to mount and position. I do wish there was an option that could make the cameras more tamper/theft proof, so they could be mounted in lower height locations. Cameras work well and seem to have good wifi signal capture. Using one with an eero mesh, and one is outside but only about 20' from the main router. They capture good images, but even at 1080, zoom gets grainy sooner that it should. Haven't really used the "spotlight" feature but will be trying it out this summer. Cameras are easy to setup in the SimpliSafe app. I like to power them up while I'm inside close to the wifi router, add them to the system and name them, update them, etc. Then take them to their mounting location and test their connection with the SS app once there. I like being able to see the grid of motion-sensor areas and disable certain ones, keeps bushes and trees from constantly tripping the cameras.

This camera is superb! I have used its twin for years now. Great picture! Has held up for me. Works even better with a solar charging panel. This one is my second for upgraded security

I love the outdoor camera mounted it so I have a perfect view of the front of my house

I love Simplisafe first off. I have been a long standing customer (since 2013 Ish??). So before I even mention the outdoor camera, for all those who are questioning their financial options for family safety vs contracts & lots of service fees and equipment, stop 🛑! Try out Simplisafe. You have a legit company that will monitor your home safety AND call you /and/ or the police ASAP. The system is literally so easy and inexpensive to use and also the setup. (Literally like plug in and connect to WiFi). Tip -you can find a lot of renewed/ used Simplisafe equip on Amazon where ppl have upgraded to newer SImplisafe systems. You also have the choice to opt out and monitor your home via text and email ( you will get alerts and/ or live recordings sent to you). You can also have the police be alerted in case of emergency. It is VERY important to register your alarm system in whatever county or city you live in, or you can be fined hundreds of dollars every time police show up when contacted or whatever policy your local police have over unregistered alarm services. Ok so the system really Works! We lived in CA (prior to Texas ). We were in the process of remodeling our home ourselves, and we weren’t living there yet. We were a young family with lots of kids and babies to look after, so money was tight. We were hesitant to sign up with Simplisafe. Our hesitancy cost us THOUSANDS when thieves CLEANED us out of more than half my husband’s tools. Literally almost every tool we left in the house was stolen. It was AWFUL! Lesson LEARNED! We immediately realized that our personal belongings, furniture and home needed protection! More importantly our children and loved ones safety was our MAIN priority. Our hesitancy was because we didn’t know anyone who had used it and we questioned it’s reliability and the price was almost too good to be true. Literally the service for professional monitoring was around $15 a month ( early 2010s thru 2014). Also I was wondering if the products REALLY worked. So after the robbery, we immediately purchased one of the Simplisafe systems that came w/ a base, a number lock pad, window and door sensors (no camera though). I liked the fact that you also got to keep the equipment, even if you don’t use their professional monitor. The system was like peel and stick easy! We were thrilled! One early morning shortly within a couple weeks of signing up, we were alerted by the police and met them at our home. ( we still weren’t living in the house) Well luckily no one was there and that night had been a VERY unusually windy night. Basically the motion sensors and system was alerted by the forceful wind! That was the ONLY time it falsely alerted because one of our trees was blown and it’s branches hit( not broke) the sliding glass door. We were grateful and impressed by the accuracy and monitoring of SImplisafe. Just register your alarm because we were sent $100 fine because the police came out after we hadn’t answered ( heard) SImplisafe customer service trying to reach us. If we had registered the alarm, we wouldn’t have been fined by police station. Anyway so yes SImplisafe is LEGIT and I’m not affiliated or paid for my review. I just want people to know that the equipment works very well, customer service is great and the affordability blew all the other alarm companies out of the galaxy. No contract, it’s month to month. I think you can even trade in older system and upgrade systems for very reasonable prices. They don’t charge you more for service if you add more motion sensors etc. At the time we originally signed up they didn’t have an outdoor camera available yet. Fast forward to 2021 we still have Simplisafe and just purchased the outdoor camera. It works well. You can talk thru it and watch live. It is motion sensored so it will record and send you recordings of whoever walks close to it. No false alarms, and no cars driving by alert it. It is well made. Only time I’ve had an issue with it was when my wifi was bad and I tried to watch live camera from my location, which was my phone’s fault not SImplisafe.. Other than that, no probs works great. Give it a chance. Great alarm company and great prices.

Excellent quality, durable

So many people said good things about Simplisafe I went ahead and bought a system about a year ago. I was seldom away from home and just assumed it was working correctly as I didn't fully use the system. When I tried I had so many problems that Simplisafe sent me a new keypad and central unit. They seemed to be working OK so I added an outdoor camera. I spent a few hours trying to set it up by myself then a few more on line with Simplisafe. Finally got everything working just right and was happy but the first time I needed to recharge the battery, I couldn't get the camera recognized afterwards. Tried a few more times and still didn't get results. I am about to call them again and I'm not happy. For me, nothing Simple about Simplesafe. Update. Finally got the camera to work, just took a few hours...Addendum- I'd like to say that was the end of my problems but after recharging the battery I had to install the camera again and had the same time consuming problems getting the camera to connect. Really unhappy I chose SimpliSafe because all the hours it took to get it running right and keep running right. Jeez, really hard on a an old guy....Addendum-Supposed to be Simple but isn't, taking a star off after ten hours messing around following their instructions without any luck at all. I shouldn't have to call Simplisafe every time I recharge the battery, stuff that worked just stopped and won't start again. Wearing out my fingers/thumbs trying to reset this thing. AND ANOTHER THING- not only hard to get going but on a recent trip I was out of town when the internet went down at my house the unit does not automatically reconnect AND it was impossible to get it going from a wifi connection when I was out of the country. So it works OK when you finally get it going but when you really need it when you are actually away from home, it is useless...
