SimpliSafe’s new outdoor monitoring service combines AI with human agents

SimpliSafe has announced the addition of Active Guard Outdoor Protection to its monthly subscription offerings. The new tier adds an added layer of 24/7

Outdoor Protection Pro is available for $50 a month, a price that includes the Boston-based firm’s standard $22 indoor monitoring service. SimpliSafe says the limitations are due to its predecessor’s inability to run its ‘AI for the Familiar Face’ feature, which assures that users don’t trigger false alarms at their own homes. In those 18 years, the firm has continued to see increased competition as smart home cameras proliferate from the likes of Amazon’s Ring and Google’s Nest.
