If you could stop somebody from breaking in before they got inside, why wouldn't you? Most old school systems go off after someone's already in your place. That's too late. Simplisafe is different. It's proactive with a double layer of defense that stops crime before they start. First, AI powered cameras spot potential threats outside. Then live agents step in talking to the person through the camera, letting them know they're on video and police will be dispatched. Dispatched. If they don't leave, they can even trigger a loud siren or spotlight. That's how you help stop a crime before it starts. Plus, there's no contracts. And Simplisafe was just named the best home security of 2025 by U.S. news & World Report. It's also the best time to buy SimpliSafe's Last Chance Black Friday sale, 50% off any new system.

When asked who should be in charge of regulating AI, reaction was about split nearly evenly between the tech industry, state governments and Congress, with just 11% saying the president, 48% say they use AI monthly. That's up six points in six months. Top uses of it include research to ask questions for work and spelling and grammar. Jessica Rosenthal, FOX News the Kennedy.
