I call bullshit on this SimpliSafe commercial.
Many people have some sort of outdoor camera on their house, and they're picking up all sorts of shit. Cars going by, dogs in the yard, people taking the garbage out, squirrels, deer, turkey, wind, rustling leaves, you name it. The idea that there are SimpliSafe employees sitting in a room, watching a live feed from a single person's house, and responding in real time, is just a lie.
Unless the company is doing really poorly, they have thousands of customers in a given area, and probably multiple cameras at each house. So when all those camera sensors are tripping because Fido is taking a dump, how is the SimpliSafe guy filtering that out, and somehow looking at a full-screen live view of an intrusion in progress? Inquiring minds want to know.
