SimpliSafe® products use varying methods of communication to talk to the Base Station and even your network. Below is a breakdown of the communication methods, and which SimpliSafe® products use that method.

Wi-Fi

Our cameras require a compatible 2.4GHz network in order to communicate with your SimpliSafe® System. Below is a list of which products use Wi-Fi to communicate with your system:

Radio Frequency (RF) and Wi-Fi

Certain SimpliSafe® Cameras utilise RF and Wi-Fi to communicate with your Base Station and SimpliSafe® System. When motion is detected, the camera communicates with the Base Station via RF to analyse the event, then uses Wi-Fi to wake up and record the event. Below is a list of which products utilise both RF and Wi-Fi to communicate with your system:

• Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Security Camera
