SimpliSafe® can do what others can’t
Only SimpliSafe® agents can see, speak to and deter intruders in your home during an active alarm*. No other national home security provider can do this. It’s all made possible by the Smart Alarm Indoor Camera and select professional monitoring plans with intruder intervention.
When you opt into intruder intervention, our agents can automatically check recordings and live streams for evidence during an active alarm. If an intruder is present, they can deter them in real time via the camera's live, 2-way audio. Our agents can also use this evidence to provide first responders with critical information and request priority dispatch for faster police response**.
