Home security system company SimpliSafe launched a new smart standalone doorbell today with heat sensors and motion detectors. It’s the company’s first product that’s technically not inside the home.
The SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro has a wide angle 1080p camera that supports HDR with a 162-degree field of view, that’s just short of seeing everything front of it. It has two-way audio equipped with noise and echo cancellation that’s supposed to minimize background noise. The camera also supports heat signature detection and human motion detection. (The latter will be activated as part of an update in the coming weeks and could make identification more accurate.) Camera recording is available on a subscription-based plan for $5 a month for a single camera or $10 a month for unlimited cameras.
