Mother’s Day, is coming`round again at last! Nothing is too good for the mothers in our lives, but for those mothers who insist we be frugal, SimpliSafe has a deal waiting for you. A smart security system might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Mother’s Day gift ideas but SimpliSafe is offering a sale that you can’t miss. From now until May 14, Simplisafe is offering 15% off your order, but also a free camera to go with it.

This allows all manner of protection coverage for your mother’s home, and protection against a wide variety of potential problems. You can personalize your SimpliSafe home security system by creating it with the Build My System tool. There are no contracts, no phone line is needed, and 24/7 alarm monitoring is available.

While SimpliSafe offers protection against burglaries and break-ins, it also boasts protection against fire, water damage, and even medical emergencies. That’s a lot of protection by itself, but it gets better; SimpliSafe reports that fully 97% of its customers install SimpliSafe units themselves. So for those who are all thumbs when it comes to hooking up their electronics, they’ll find this a much simpler hookup than expected. In fact, not so long ago, SimpliSafe brought its line of self-install security systems to the United Kingdom, complete with monthly plans.

SimpliSafe has also recently undergone some upgrades; the new models are, according to the company, “…half the size with double the range.” Additionally, the new models are also “50 percent louder and five times faster.” SimpliSafe units even have protection for themselves; if the keypad is ever damaged — usually by a burglar attempting to cover his or her tracks — the system will activate regardless and alert authorities.

Those interested in a low-expense, high-quality way to provide protection for their mothers will find a real friend in SimpliSafe; our own review coverage detailed the aesthetic quality of the sensors, which will “…blend seamlessly into (the) home,” as well as a “set it and forget it” style of operation that should be sufficiently easy for even the least tech-savvy moms to operate.

The sale runs until Tuesday, so simply head to SimpliSafe’s site to get in on the deal. A little extra safety for Mom is never a bad thing, and with 15% off, Mom will likely applaud your skill as a smart shopper in the bargain.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
