SimpliSafe has added a smart doorbell with a super wide-angle camera to their home security portfolio.
With the new Video Doorbell Pro by SimpliSafe, you can always know what's happening outside the front of your home. This smart doorbell's camera has a 162° diagonal field of view that can bring you a live 1080p HD stream of virtually everything outside your front door day and night.
SimpliSafe's signature motion trigger has two sensors: one to detect the human heat signature and a second to detect the human form. This ensures that the device doesn't send you irrelevant and unnecessary motion alerts, like that of a car driving by or a bird stepping up to your welcome mat. The latter sensor, however, will not be active in the doorbell until an update rolls out over the next couple weeks.
This is a doorbell at the core, after all, so it does also have a door chime along with a two-way audio system that allows you and the visitor to speak before you get to the door. Of course, you will know they are outside before they even ring because the device will send an alert to your phone to notify you of any human motion.
The Video Doorbell Pro can be integrated into any existing SimpliSafe home security system, in which case the doorbell will have the added feature of recording video when any home security sensor from the entire system picks up motion.
The Video Doorbell Pro is available as this week on the brand's site and at Best Buy for US$169 (RM704). When purchased at the retail location, the device will be accompanied by an interchangeable cover in either Obsidian, Cloud, or Jade. More colour options will arrive in the near future. – AFP Relaxnews
