SimpliSafe Wireless Outdoor Security Camera,1080p, Motion only

This is my 2nd SimpliSafe outdoor cam purchase. Been using one on the east coast for over a year now, and this one will live on the west coast. Cameras are easy to mount and position. I do wish there was an option that could make the cameras more tamper/theft proof, so they could be mounted in lower height locations. Cameras work well and seem to have good wifi signal capture. Using one with an eero mesh, and one is outside but only about 20' from the main router. They capture good images, but even at 1080, zoom gets grainy sooner that it should. Haven't really used the "spotlight" feature but will be trying it out this summer. Cameras are easy to setup in the SimpliSafe app. I like to power them up while I'm inside close to the wifi router, add them to the system and name them, update them, etc. Then take them to their mounting location and test their connection with the SS app once there. I like being able to see the grid of motion-sensor areas and disable certain ones, keeps bushes and trees from constantly tripping the cameras.

Love simply safe and their cameras. Works amazing with wide view and zooming potential

Added 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.

Initially I could not get the cameras to connect. Sometimes they would connect, but not display any video only motion detection worked. After lots of troubleshooting and settings changes on my router, I opted to try a different router. I was using a Asus RT-AX82U router, a really good gaming router. I chose to try a TP Link AX5400 (Archer AX72 Pro) router. The setup for the TP Link router was easy and now the Simplisafe cameras are working without changing any settings in the router. Not sure what the issue with the Asus router was, but the TP Link is working like a charm and has been really fast and great distance on wifi. I also now have the cameras at 1080p. I know this sounds like a router review, but hopefully it will save someone major connectivity headaches when trying to connect their Simplisafe cameras. I removed one star for the connectivity issues, due to all the troubleshooting problems.

This camera looks and functions great. The quality is durable. Day and night images are very clear. We'll worth the money.
