If you are considering a Simplisafe system, then it completes the puzzle and most obvious hole in the company’s lineup over the previous offerings.įrom a long-time Simplisafe user, the Wireless Outdoor camera rounds out one of the best DIY security solutions you can find from any company. If you have a Simplisafe setup this is a no-brainer at $169. I like the Simplisafe Wireless Outdoor Camera a ton.
Knowing the urgency of the alert directly from the notification is a huge win. It’s a little thing that goes a long way in the user experience. This is something that almost every other competitor in this space offers. Simplisafe needs to add a preview thumbnail to the pop-up. The second knock for me is in the notifications themselves on mobile. My guess is that this is due to the camera has a more advanced sleep mode to preserve battery life. The feed to the Simplisafe Wireless Outdoor Camera does lag a bit to load in comparison to my Simplisafe Doorbell and the Indoor Camera. There are a couple of things worth mentioning. You can then simply view the feed, talk to the visitor via the mic, or activate your alarm if things go badly. When a notification pops up on your phone a single tap drops you directly into the live view of that camera. After reviewing several competitors over the last couple of years, Simplisafe continues to be one of the best performers from notification to app view. Our interactions with this tab and the new Simplisafe Wireless Outdoor Camera have worked exactly as we’d expect. This gives you a quick toggle over to all your Simplisafe cameras. The front page gives you easy access to your entire home security status and just below is a timeline of historical camera alerts in chronological order.įor the focus of our review, there’s a dedicated Cameras tab at the bottom of the app.
The Simplisafe app is on par with others in the smart home to security category. I have no reservations that this thing isn’t going anywhere unless you forcibly pull it off the wall. Then, the entire Wireless Outdoor Camera simply holds steady via the magnetic connection. Once that’s in place, you twist the magnetic mount base into the ring. The base is magnetic but has a mounting ring you first pre-drill and then secure with screws to the location you prefer.
SIMPLI SAFE OUTDOOR CAMERA FREE
Got five minutes and a drill? Then you have about the right amount of free time and tools to get the Simplisafe Wireless Outdoor Camera up. Simplisafe has fixed this by allowing you to purchase another battery pack for $30 to swap them out in minutes and charge the next battery. While I want the convenience and flexibility of a wireless security system, having to have my cameras unavailable for 2-4 hours is a big downer. This battery swapping is a big deal in my opinion. The battery is rated by Simplisafe for up to six months of use depending on the notification and spotlight settings you’ve chosen. You twist off the lens casing from the body much like an old-school flashlight to access the removable and rechargeable battery. The entire Simplisafe Outdoor Camera is completely wireless. In this same area is also an option very bright LED spotlight for true night vision and a two-way mic for talking to the occasional visitor. This provides the hardware to detect motion for activate recordings and initiate notifications. It can also zoom up to 8x to get a closer view of things up to 15 feet away.
SIMPLI SAFE OUTDOOR CAMERA 1080P
Here you’ll find an ultra-wide sensor capable of both 1080p HD recording and 140-degree field of few.
SIMPLI SAFE OUTDOOR CAMERA INSTALL
The slightly orbed exterior both stands out and also fades into any environment you decide to install the camera. The camera looks modern and sleek and has some thoughtful cues that just make sense. Simplisafe nailed the industrial design of the new Outdoor Security Camera. But it’s also not without a few, small misses. It’s been a real omission from the Simplisafe lineup for quite some time, and I have to say, it doesn’t disappoint. I was excited to see the company add a wireless security camera designed to be used outdoors.
