One minor drawback of the SimpliCam is that it doesn’t record locally. Need to pay $9.99 or $27.99 a month to receive cloud storage, notifications and remote control of camera.Moreover, SimpliSafe usually bundles the camera ($99 value) with its security system for free. Together with SimpliSafe security sensors, the camera can monitor your home and give you visual access in cases of emergency. In our experience, that’s all an average person needs to keep an eye on their home while at work or running errands.Īlthough it works as a standalone security camera, the SimpliCam works best as a part of a SimpliSafe system. It can detect and alert you of movement, stream and record high-quality videos, and it offers two-way audio communication. It doesn’t offer much in terms of features, but it’s a reliable camera that just works. The SimpliCam is an indoor camera that just plugs into a wall outlet and connects to Wi-Fi. In our SimpliSafe security system review, we talked about how it took us less than 30 minutes to install the system, and that system included the SimpliCam. Nobody makes home security as easy and hassle-free as SimpliSafe does.
