THE CRUNCH

SimpliSafe has launched the Video Doorbell Series 2, which pairs 2K resolution and dual-band Wi-Fi with a new human monitoring service. The device uses on-device AI and cloud-based computer vision to detect suspicious activity, prompting a SimpliSafe monitoring agent to drop in on the camera. The agent can see, speak to, and attempt to deter potential intruders or package thieves.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Customers will be able to subscribe to the Active Guard service to access the human monitoring feature.
