The app is designed for Monkey Vision's 'Simple' wireless product line, including the Simple Go Cam, Simple Patrol Cam and Simple Doorbell DB1. For the brand's older non-Simple cameras, Monkey Vision publishes a separate app called 'Monkey Vision Connect'.
Example US App Store pricing starts at about US$4.99/month for a single camera, US$9.99/month for two cameras, and US$14.99/month for unlimited cameras. Annual plans and higher-tier Basic, Plus and Pro subscriptions are also available. Pricing may vary by region and change over time.

Yes. Monkey Vision's Simple hardware and the paid subscription tiers offer AI detection for human, vehicle, pet and package events, plus configurable activity zones on compatible models. This lets you filter out irrelevant movement so you only get alerts that matter.
The app supports 17 languages: English, Arabic, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish and Vietnamese.
Simple cameras use a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi band and do not support pure 5 GHz networks. Make sure you are joining the 2.4 GHz network, the password is correct and does not contain unsupported special characters, and that the camera is close to the router during initial pairing. You can also try resetting the camera and restarting the app.
According to the Google Play and App Store privacy disclosures, the app encrypts data in transit and allows users to request data deletion. The Monkey Vision privacy policy at monkeyvision.com.au/privacy-policy/ describes how personal information, media and usage data are handled.

I like this app a lot. Connects quickly to my Simple cameras and the live feed is smooth on my iPhone.
The wireless cameras are genuinely easy to set up and the app is straightforward. Notifications come through quickly and the live view works well from anywhere.
Works as advertised for basic monitoring. Cloud subscription pricing is a bit steep if you have more than two cameras. Hoping for more AI improvements.
Added the Simple Doorbell DB1 and it paired on the first try. Two-way audio is clear enough to hold a short conversation with delivery drivers.
Nice that it runs on my M1 MacBook Air through the iPad app. Interface is a bit basic on a big screen but it gets the job done for live viewing.
Battery cameras last a surprisingly long time and the PIR motion wake-up is reliable. The app's activity zones helped cut down on false alerts from my front street.
Solid wireless camera app. Setup took one try, notifications are fast. I wish the free tier included more cloud history so I didn't need a subscription so quickly.
I use it to watch my backyard while at work. AI person detection works well and I love that I can check on my dog whenever I want.
Set up three Simple cameras at my shop. The multi-camera dashboard is clean and I get instant alerts after hours. Works well for a small business.
Does what it says — live view, motion alerts, cloud clips. Occasional login loop was annoying but a reinstall fixed it. Overall a fair wireless security option.
Wireless home security should be something you set up once and then forget about — until you actually need it.
