The Arcsoft Simplicam takes on popular Wi-Fi cameras like the Dropcam Pro with its multiple alert options and low cloud storage fees, but a couple of glitches could keep it from greatness....
Unreliable facial detection, No battery backup, Video is stored in the cloud only
Aside from the hiccups with its facial recognition–which will likely get smoothed out soon; Simplicam is soliciting customer feedback to improve it—Simplicam worked as-advertised in my hands-on, no small thing in the often-buggy world of security came...

Two-part magnetically attached case, low price
Magnets should be stronger
Whether you need a surveillance system for security, family, or fun, Simplicam seems to be one of the best options available right now and it's a very good alternative to Nestcam. The video quality of the Simplicam is top notch, and for only $149, it...
Abstract: If you've ever wanted a camera to check up on the kids while out, make sure your dogs aren't jumping on the coffee table moment after you leave for work or just to satisfy your suspicion that you did in fact close the sliding patio doors, the Simplicam by...
The conversation around Simplicam — or any home security/monitoring camera — will be how it stacks up to Dropcam. If you're asking me to choose between the two, I confidently and emphatically choose Simplicam.Solidly built, Simplicam just flat-out perform...

Night usage aside, I was impressed. Setup was extremely simple, and it worked as advertised. I was a little skeptical about face-detection given that I was using it to look outside, but it reliably detected both visitors and those walking nearby, such as ...
The Simplicam system is a solid entry in the home monitoring business. The setup is easy, other than the glitches noted. The Simplicam is a direct competitor to the popular Dropcam camera, and it is a little cheaper. Dropcam is also $149.00 for the came...

Attractive desig, Easy setu, Good-quality video
Saving video could be easie, Can't connect to smart-home hubs
With ArcSoft's face-tracking technology, the Simplicam powered by Closeli can identify when there's an intruder, or if it's just your cat walking around. Why is ArcSoft making a security camera? That's the question I had upon receiving the Simp...
Small, Easy to set up and use, Good video quality, Reliable sound and motion alerts, Customizable
Facial recognition didn't always work, Two-way talk and sound capture worked intermittently
