SimpliSafe’s new camera lets live agents watch your property

Stop! Who goes there?

Announced earlier this year, the service is powered by a new outdoor camera that uses on-device and cloud-based AI to alert call center agents about potential threats on your property. Ring offers a similar service for its cameras, but its Live Guard feature costs $100 a month, which is on top of its standard home alarm monitoring. When the system is armed and the camera detects a person using on-device AI the footage is sent to the cloud for confirmation and to match against any trusted faces you’ve uploaded to your SimpliSafe app.
