SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro: What to Know
A naming note upfront: SimpliSafe's own website currently redirects its "Video Doorbell Pro" product page to a page titled "Video Doorbell Series 2," while the Amazon listing we identified for this ASIN still uses "Pro"-era naming ("Latest Gen"). We're treating this as SimpliSafe's current wired video doorbell rather than an older discontinued generation, but if you're ordering directly from SimpliSafe's own site, confirm which exact generation and name you're being shown.
Per SimpliSafe's support materials, this doorbell requires existing doorbell wiring with a mechanical (not digital) chime and an 8-24VAC, 30VA-max transformer — unlike the Arlo, Blink and Wyze doorbells in this guide, it is not designed as a battery-powered, wire-free option. In exchange, SimpliSafe's materials describe a 162-degree field of view, 1080p HD video, and Smart Person Detection that distinguishes people, vehicles and animals to cut down on irrelevant motion alerts, plus customizable Activity Zones.
SimpliSafe's own materials state that a monitoring subscription is not required to use the doorbell for live view and two-way audio, but recording video clips to your account timeline and features like Video Verification (used by SimpliSafe's professional monitoring service to confirm real intrusions) do require a paid plan.
