We tested SimpliSafe's Outdoor Security Camera in a real back and front yard at two different homes, and we're happy to report that it passed muster. The SimpliSafe Outdoor Security Camera has clear video and great sound. To top things off, it also comes with a siren, zoom, and a motion-activated spotlight.
Honestly, I'm relieved that this camera works so well. Since SimpliSafe can't be used with third-party camera brands, the only way to get professional video alarm verification is to use SimpliSafe's cameras. This one does the trick, but I do wish it had more than one privacy zone.
