Good camera... but....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera works well, but I was a bit surprised that it is not wireless. I was expecting it to be like the rest of my SimpliSafe products and be wireless and have a wall mount bracket, but it was neither. It has a power cord and it only has a small stand that you place on a counter or table top. I wanted to wall mount it so I was able to modify the stand by drilling to holes in the bottom, then I was able to mount it to the wall. Other than that, I wish it was battery powered but I am okay with the power cord.

Great camera that is super simple to set up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera that is super simple to set up. Integrates seamlessly with my existing system. Sometimes the QR Code scan can take a minute to take. The package from Best Buy appeared to be a previous return / open box item so be careful when ordering online.

Good Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't complain too much about the cam because there aren't many hundred dollar cams (or any) that integrate with and/or work independently from a security system...In short, you can pay 5 bucks a month for monitoring/recording without the SimpliSafe system or add it to the system that you already have and are paying 15 bucks each month for...remember there are still no contracts with SimpliSafe which is a bonus...however, it only records in 720, not 1080...Also, although it is matte black and on a metal stand, the Canary is a higher quality product and offers a siren too...Not a bad buy but maybe do your homework first to decide if you want to add Alexa/Google Assistant which this cam doesn't offer either.

Good addition to the Simplisafe ecosystem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I added the first camera to my Simplisafe system over a month ago. I was hesitating between the Nest cameras and Simplisafe. I decided to go with Simplisafe and I can say that I'm satisfied with the performance. The angle is really wide and covers about 90 degrees. From the app you can zoom from the screen with your fingers. The quality of the image is HD and acceptable. I wish it could adjust when the image is against the light; it comes out a bit dark. I also wished that it had some kind of battery in case of a blackout. Overall, it performs well and is well adapted to the Simplisafe ecosystem. The night vision works really well. It's easy to access from the app. I have added two more cameras since, and I'm not disappointed.

Great when paid for monthly service
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a bit torn if I should give these a 3* or a 4* review for one simple reason - access. These cameras work GREAT for the price. Within a couple seconds i can get the app up and access them. * BUT * Regardless of my network, if Simplisafe has any sort of outage on their end, you cannot access the camera even if you're not subscribed to their service. They basically go through a third party before going out to your phone or whatever device you're using to access the cameras. If I knew that before, and that I cannot record unless I pay a monthly fee, I probably would have gone with a different system. It's more of a set it, pay monthly, and forget it vs self manage system. I really wanted something that can do both well so that I can have someone else monitor if I leave on holiday, but still have good options for self monitoring. The latter fails by my standards.

Fine Camera For the SimplySafe System
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was curious about the system so I purchased the camera as a test thinking it was an IP sort of deal but it wasn't. It will display on your smartphone but to save anything you have to have the hub and/or subscribe to the service which is fine but I wasn't at that point. I already own a DVR system but the ease and setup of this wireless system is attractive if you want the monthly monitoring. The camera itself works well with night vision and the infrared. SimpliSafe offered a deal with a free camera with the purchase of a system. Since I already owned a camera, I asked if they would substitute a couple of the other accessories instead if I went with the system. They refused so I let it drop. But I may go for it at a later date. I wouldn't hesitate buying the camera if you already own their system and just want a visual mode. Worth it.

Great Camera for Beginners
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this camera to have in our living room because we wanted to see the dog whenever we were not home. The camera is really nice, it's small and the quality of video is good, everything looks clear when you are on the go and check your home on the camera app. I took off a star because it would be nice if it was wireless but also the wire isn't long if you wanted to place this somewhere high and needed it to reach a plug. Also, if you want to keep recordings or have access to continuous footage, you have to pay a membership with the camera company. Ultimately, we had to return it because our dog didn't like the lens noise this would make lol but I think this is a great camera to keep at home!

Good, not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera seems to capture video well and has some settings that you can program to operate more or less for privacy. I enjoy the access through the app to live video over WiFi. My biggest complaint is that the camera does not actually trigger the alarm system, you only get “activity” notifications to the app. This means they are basically forcing you into buying other sensors to actually trip the alarm and the camera is only a secondary sensor.

Q: QuestionDoes the simple safe camera have talk capability
Asked by Nickv.
- A:Answer 01/11/19, I have four cameras and could only listen on them. I have had the first gen system for a while now. Today I noticed one of the cameras had the microphone icon next to the record icon and it stated “hold to talk, release to listen.” I tested it by viewing and listening with my iPhone on one camera, while speaking on my iPad on the one with the icon. It worked. Now my question is “why do my other three cameras not have the microphone icon?” Guess it is time to call Simplisafe.

Q: QuestionDoes it record
Asked by TheBoss.
- A:Answer Unfortunately, it only records with a monthly service. If you don't purchase the service, all you get is a notification if it was triggered, but you won't be able to see the video, unless you actually click on live view to see. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionWill I be able to watch the video without paying a monthly subscription to Simplisafe? I understand that It will not record so I cannot watch the past, but if I just want to view through the camera is it possible?
Asked by UTLonghorn15.
- A:Answer Yes you can. It has, let's say, a "baby monitor" type function through your smartphone with sound, too. But it's potential is for the full SimpliSafe system with the hub. Its video quality is nice, though.
Answered by Metairieman55
Q: QuestionHow does it work if you buy 2? Can I access both cameras at once?
Asked by Bill.
- A:Answer In the SimpliSafe iPhone application, you see both cameras listed by name (a name that you create when adding the camera to your system). But to watch the camera video live, you must select one only and then "VIEW LIVE." If you have set them up to automatically record when motion is detected, it is possible to record from both cameras at the same time. However, when you want to watch previously recorded video, you select one video to watch at a time. I hope this helps.
