这款门铃摄像头让真人保安为您看守前门
DIY home security company SimpliSafe is bringing its AI-powered proactive security feature to the front door. The new SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2 launches today for $199.99 and works with the company’s Active Guard Outdoor Protection (starting at $49.99 a month). This combines AI analysis with live agents to detect potential threats and respond proactively.
DIY 家庭安防公司 SimpliSafe 正在将其人工智能驱动的主动安防功能引入前门。全新的 SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2 于今日发布，售价 199.99 美元，并支持该公司的“主动卫士”（Active Guard）户外防护服务（每月 49.99 美元起）。该功能结合了人工智能分析与真人监控专员，旨在检测潜在威胁并主动做出响应。
When the camera detects suspicious activity — using a combination of on-device AI, cloud-based computer vision, and facial recognition — a SimpliSafe monitoring agent can drop in on the camera to “see, speak to, and attempt to deter potential intruders and package thieves,” according to the company.
据该公司介绍，当摄像头通过设备端 AI、云端计算机视觉和人脸识别技术检测到可疑活动时，SimpliSafe 的监控专员可以接入摄像头，从而“查看、对话并尝试震慑潜在的入侵者和包裹窃贼”。
The SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2 is a wired doorbell with 2K resolution, a 10x zoom, a 150-degree head-to-toe view, two-way audio, and a built-in siren. It has smart alerts for people and packages, up to five seconds of pre-roll video, and supports dual-band Wi-Fi. The doorbell requires a SimpliSafe base station and keypad and works with any monitored SimpliSafe plan. It can also be used with a self-monitored plan with video recording.
SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2 是一款有线门铃，具备 2K 分辨率、10 倍变焦、150 度垂直视野、双向音频和内置警报器。它支持针对人员和包裹的智能提醒，提供最长 5 秒的预录视频，并支持双频 Wi-Fi。该门铃需要配合 SimpliSafe 基站和键盘使用，适用于任何 SimpliSafe 监控套餐，也可配合包含视频录制功能的自主监控套餐使用。
Active Guard was launched in 2023 on SimpliSafe’s indoor camera, arrived on outdoor cameras in 2024, and is now available on the company’s newest doorbell camera. The feature is opt-in, and the agent can only view live footage when the system is armed and has been triggered. Active Guard requires a Pro or Plus SimpliSafe monitoring plan starting at $49.99 a month. In addition to potentially deterring intruders, SimpliSafe says the system can provide emergency services with more accurate information.
“主动卫士”功能于 2023 年首次在 SimpliSafe 室内摄像头上推出，2024 年扩展至户外摄像头，如今也已应用于该公司最新的门铃摄像头。该功能需用户主动开启，且只有在系统处于布防状态并被触发时，监控专员才能查看实时画面。“主动卫士”需要订阅每月 49.99 美元起的 Pro 或 Plus 监控套餐。SimpliSafe 表示，除了可能震慑入侵者外，该系统还能为紧急服务部门提供更准确的信息。
The company has published a privacy page detailing how the system works, including that the footage is encrypted (at rest and in transit, not end-to-end) and that it “won’t share camera footage with law enforcement unless required by law.”
该公司发布了一个隐私页面，详细说明了系统的工作原理，包括视频画面是加密的（存储和传输过程中加密，非端到端加密），并且“除非法律要求，否则不会与执法部门共享摄像头画面”。
Color-coded LED status lights on the doorbell indicate when a monitoring agent (amber) or homeowner (blue) is speaking, and you can create a library of familiar faces so the monitoring agent doesn’t scare the bejeezus out of your dog walker.
门铃上的彩色 LED 状态灯可以指示当前是监控专员（琥珀色）还是房主（蓝色）在说话。此外，您可以建立一个“熟悉面孔”库，以免监控专员误将您的遛狗员当作入侵者而将其吓坏。
Ring offers a similar proactive security feature called Virtual Guard that works with its Ring Alarm system for $99 a month. Having a human be able to see and verify whether there’s any actual danger at your home and potentially act on it has value, especially if you live in an area where false alarms incur fines, but for most people this feels like overkill.
Ring 也提供类似的名为“虚拟卫士”（Virtual Guard）的主动安防功能，该功能需配合 Ring Alarm 系统使用，每月费用为 99 美元。拥有真人实时查看并核实家中是否存在实际危险，并在必要时采取行动确实具有价值，特别是对于那些误报会面临罚款的地区居民而言；但对大多数人来说，这似乎有些大材小用了。
