SimpliSafe® Launches Video Doorbell Series 2 to Help Stop Crime Before It Reaches Your Front DoorNew video doorbell combines 2K clarity and a head-to-toe view BOSTON, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SimpliSafe®, maker of award-winning smart home security systems, today announced the SimpliSafe® Video Doorbell Series 2, its most advanced video doorbell yet designed to help stop crime before it starts. When paired with SimpliSafe® Active Guard Outdoor Protection, the new doorbell brings live agent crime deterrence directly to the front door. The Video Doorbell's AI-powered camera can detect potential threats and alert live, U.S.-based security agents, who can see, speak to, and attempt to deter potential intruders and package thieves. SimpliSafe's agents can use the camera's video, two-way audio and loud siren to help prevent crime - all while requesting police dispatch and capturing video evidence.1 "We believe that a video doorbell should do more than simply record what happened and alert you after the fact," said Rebecca Zavin, Chief Product and Technology Officer, SimpliSafe. "With Video Doorbell Series 2, we're expanding our portfolio of products that can help prevent crime. This is another step toward making home security more proactive, giving homeowners greater confidence that their home and loved ones are safe, even when they're away." See Every Detail. Protect What Matters. The Video Doorbell Series 2 delivers enhanced 2K resolution and an expanded head-to-toe view, providinga sharper, more complete picture of visitors, package deliveries and other activity at the door - day or night.2,4 The doorbell's enhanced two-way audio makes it easier to communicate with individuals at the doorway, while up to five seconds of pre-event capture records the moments leading up to an event for fuller context on what happened.3 The new doorbell also adds dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) for more flexible connectivity. Featuring Smart AI, the Video Doorbell Series 2 can detect people, packages, and vehicles (vehicle detection coming soon).4 Customers can use customizable Activity Zones to focus on the areas that matter most and ignore the ones that don't, like road traffic or neighboring yards. The Video Doorbell's sleek design pairs a black front-face housing with a white LED ring for maximum contrast, while color-coded status lights distinguish when a monitoring agent (amber) or homeowner (blue) is speaking so there's no ambiguity when the camera is active. Sized for standard 4-inch vinyl siding, included adapters enable flush, adjustable mounting on most homes without custom fitting. The Video Doorbell's UV and weather-resistant matte finish helps prevent fading over the device's lifespan. The Video Doorbell Series 2 was also designed with privacy and customer control in mind, including clear controls over what is recorded and shared. Through the SimpliSafe App, customers can customize their camera settings and alerts and, with select monitoring plans, choose whether to create a library of familiar faces that help SimpliSafe's professional monitoring agents know who should be expected to be on their property, such as an in-law, a neighbor, or a dog walker.5 Pricing & Availability To access SimpliSafe® Active Guard Outdoor Protection, customers can choose between two monitoring plans: Pro ($49.99/month) and Pro Plus ($79.99/month).
