Add as a preferred source on Google

SimpliSafe took big deductions off Buy at SimpliSafe for Tax Day, April 15. For today only, SimpliSafe will deduct 15% off the usual price with all pre-configured or build-your-own SimpliSafe security systems and add a $99 SimpliCam HD video security camera with built-in motion and sound detection for free. The sale ends at midnight tonight ET.

When we tested the third-generation SimpliSafe Home Security System, Digital Trends’ reviewer praised its easy set-and-forget installation process and the base station’s beautiful design. SimpliSafe’s no-contract professional monitoring service costs just $15 a month, about half the cost of conventional security monitoring companies. The monitoring service isn’t required for local alerts and camera monitoring, but the service adds police and fire department notification, remote alerts, and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
