    The doorbell did not have as wide of a range of camera as we had hoped. Plus to see what the doorbell is videoing on your phone you have to pay the higher price monitoring. We did like the slim size of this doorbell-looks nice on your door.

    Doesn’t power on (even when plugged into an outlet using the mini USB port). After reviewing simplisafe’s message boards, it appears I’m not the first to report this issue with a batch manufactured in 2020. It appears to be a firmware issue. SimpliSafe has yet to respond to my multiple messages. I have all their other equipment (alarm, video monitor, water sensor, smoke detector) and have had no issues.

    Very unreliable

    During the first couple weeks the doorbell missed maybe one quarter to one half of the people who showed up on my doorstep, but sometimes I get 30-40 notifications a day for things like leaves blowing in the breeze, fireflies or car headlights passing by. Switching the sensitivity to low hasn’t helped. Buying a separate wedge on eBay has helped it not miss as many people at door as it corrects for camera not having 180 degree field of vision but it makes the doorbell look pretty makeshift. Unfortunately I realized on day 16 that Best Buy’s return policy is only 15 days and not 30 or I would have returned it

    We have a Simplisafe alarm so I was excited to buy a compatible video doorbell but we ended up blowing a fuse on our doorbell. The second tech support person at Simpli Safe knew that their doorbell was not compatible with a digital doorbell. Sad, had to return and buy Ring.

    Purchased doorbell camera for practical purpose. It works great but sometimes the low motion sensor setting is too sensitive for moving cars passes by in residential area.

    gave me issues setting up - would not notify ready reviews online before buying I wish I would have - I Have their alarm and I am very pleased with it but this one not so much - what good is a video doorbell if it has a known problem of not notifying when someone walks in front or rings, also have to have the premium simplisafe for them to save videos which their own cust Serv said they would with the min alarm monitoring plan FALSE!! I returned and got the Blink wireless cameras and they work like a charm! Just wish they had a doorbell but Blink Cams are awesome!

    Nothing more than a camera. Sometimes that is.

    This doorbell is virtually useless without paying the monthly fee. It WILL NOT notify you when someone presses the button unless standing right next to it. It WILL NOT let you see what triggered the motion sensor. I read before buying this that it will work without paying for the monthly monitoring service. Whoever wrote that review was wrong. I'd love to return it and trade for a RING but is now too late.

    Product did not work properly. Seemed to be a wiring issue. My husband worked hours to install but could not get it to work. Disappointed as we have all SimpliSafe prodcts and monitoring service. Our prior purchases were high quality. We reinstalled our old "Ring" doorbell and returned the SimpliSafe doorbell.

    I like the idea of this product, especially since I already have SimpliSafe. I hooked this up as instructed, however no power to the device. It seems this was not unique to the one I purchased. Unrelated to the product itself, when I looked at my Best Buy account it started this item was no longer returnable. Even though I bought it less than a month ago. Seems odd. SimpliSafe has offered to replace it, so we will see what happens next.

    Ring is not the way to go. I upgraded to this one and I see nothing great or changed about it. Picks up EVERYTHING but what you want it to.
