SimpliSafe Debuts New Look Products for Their Home Security Service Platform at CES

At CES today SimpliSafe  has lunched the a complete re-design of its award-winning security system.  We got a early look at the new system in December in the HGTV 2018 Dream Home (See the exteriors shoots HGTV did by clicking the link, sadly we there at  night ). We will have a tour and interview video of the new SimpliSafe system setup in the 2018 Dream Home available shortly.

What They Do

For those of you that may not know about SimpleSafe, they offer a home security service platform (our term for their products and services). Their goal is give you more for less.  In home security – the more you pay does not mean you get more in so many cases.

And unlike many low price systems, you can get professional monitoring.  It starts at only $15 a month. Plus there are not any contracts – No contracts!  Start and stop as you need the service! After all you don’t want to get robbed – by a thief or by your security service.

 

The New Look

SimpliSafe teamed up with design firm IDEO to create experience more beautiful, powerful and intuitive than ever before. Rebuilt from the ground up with new safeguards to create a latticework of protection against intruders, power outages, downed Wi-Fi, crowbars and everything in between.  Sensors are half the size with double the range. The system’s wireless Keypad is soft, smooth and wakes with a touch.

Both the Base Station and Keypad are offered in two color options, Obsidian black and Cloud white.

SimpliSafe also announced that a video doorbell, outdoor camera and smart lock will be available soon.  The new video doorbell features  1080p HD, two-way audio and motion alerts. The HD outdoor camera is motion-triggered and equipped with a bright spotlight. It is battery powered and can capture a year of video clips on a single charge.

Round out the news is voice integration with Amazon’s Alexa.

“For the new SimpliSafe, we’ve improved everything,” said Chad Laurans, SimpliSafe’s founder and CEO. “It’s a doubling-down on SimpliSafe’s core mission from day one: to make the best home protection possible available at a price that is radically fair. There is nothing else like it.”

Features for the New Products

• Twin cellular and Wi-Fi connections run in parallel, ensuring the user’s home is monitored even if their home phone line is disabled or Wifi downed.
• The Base Station is also reinforced with a backup battery that engages during power outages to supply continuous power for up to 24 hours.
• With new bare metal firmware, this is the fastest SimpliSafe yet, with processing speeds five times greater than the previous generation.
• SmashSafe technology makes sure that a home’s alarm signal reaches the authorities even if an intruder destroys the Base Station, Siren or Keypad.
• Over-the-air updates offer seamless software upgrades in seconds.
• Glassbreak & Motion Sensors have been precisely calibrated using three-phase detection algorithms and advanced data modeling. Glassbreak Sensors can differentiate between a smashed plate and a broken window. Motion Sensors are tuned to detect people and ignore pets.
