- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2024Style: Camera onlyVerified PurchaseAdded this camera to the system we purchased years ago as the doorbell camera picks up movement across its vision, but not always head-on movement. It easily connected to the system and was simple to mount with two small screws provided. The magnet attaching it to the base is very strong and allows for many positions. We placed it about 8-10 feet above the entry with a 30 degree angle as suggested. The battery takes time to charge but after registering 99% on the app, it is still showing 98% after 4 days of service. I also purchased a back-up battery. These are simple to slide on.
Clear picture and motion. Solid connectivity performance. Great sound and voice speaker.
The only minor flaw I have noticed is that the magnet is so strong, when I twisted the camera during positioning, it came free of the base. If I had not had a firm grip on the lens I may have dropped it.
I highly recommend this and all the SimpliSafeproducts I've used.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024Style: Camera onlyVerified PurchaseOutdoors, it lasts about two to three weeks on a charge and holds up to the weather. I like it so far. Really easy to set up.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2025Style: Camera onlyVerified PurchaseAll the Simpli Safe items I've bought have been worth it. I've had 1 outdoor camera fail out of warranty in 5 years of using them. The camera that failed would only show a green screen 50% of the time so I had to replace it. I have a system with dozens of sensors and cameras and that's the only negative.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2024Style: Camera onlyVerified PurchaseCameras work well. Not the greatest resolution but they work. The magnet on one of them wasn't holding the camera in place so I reached out to Simplisafe and they replaced the mount. The battery doesn't last nearly as long as advertised. Had to buy a second pair of batteries.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025Style: Camera onlyVerified PurchaseI have the SimpliSafe alarm system. They never give current customers discounts & their shipping takes over a week. Ordered from Amazon and got a better price & it arrived the same day!!! Wahoo!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024Style: Camera onlyVerified PurchaseSo many people said good things about Simplisafe I went ahead and bought a system about a year ago. I was seldom away from home and just assumed it was working correctly as I didn't fully use the system. When I tried I had so many problems that Simplisafe sent me a new keypad and central unit. They seemed to be working OK so I added an outdoor camera. I spent a few hours trying to set it up by myself then a few more on line with Simplisafe. Finally got everything working just right and was happy but the first time I needed to recharge the battery, I couldn't get the camera recognized afterwards. Tried a few more times and still didn't get results. I am about to call them again and I'm not happy. For me, nothing Simple about Simplesafe. Update. Finally got the camera to work, just took a few hours...Addendum- I'd like to say that was the end of my problems but after recharging the battery I had to install the camera again and had the same time consuming problems getting the camera to connect. Really unhappy I chose SimpliSafe because all the hours it took to get it running right and keep running right. Jeez, really hard on a an old guy....Addendum-Supposed to be Simple but isn't, taking a star off after ten hours messing around following their instructions without any luck at all. I shouldn't have to call Simplisafe every time I recharge the battery, stuff that worked just stopped and won't start again. Wearing out my fingers/thumbs trying to reset this thing. AND ANOTHER THING- not only hard to get going but on a recent trip I was out of town when the internet went down at my house the unit does not automatically reconnect AND it was impossible to get it going from a wifi connection when I was out of the country. So it works OK when you finally get it going but when you really need it when you are actually away from home, it is useless...
