Connect your cameras in minutes, watch live video over Wi‑Fi, get AI-powered motion alerts, and back everything up to secure cloud storage — all from a single easy-to-use app on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.
What Is Simple by Monkey Vision?
Simple by Monkey Vision is the companion app for Monkey Vision's "Simple" wireless camera range — a line of totally wireless, battery-powered Wi‑Fi cameras and doorbells that wake on motion and record to the cloud or to the device. Published by Mammoth Innovation out of South Yarra, Victoria (Australia), the app is the consumer-facing control center for the brand's easy-to-install home security ecosystem.
The app is free to download on iOS, Android, macOS (Apple silicon) and visionOS. Cloud storage and advanced AI features — including human, vehicle, pet and package detection — are available via optional subscription plans that scale from a single camera up to unlimited cameras and the "Plus" and "Pro" premium tiers.

Which devices work with the Simple by Monkey Vision app?
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'.
How much does cloud storage cost in Simple by Monkey Vision?
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. The same App Store listing runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 11.0 or later, on Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 11.0 or later, and on Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 1.0 or later. You download it once and install across your Apple devices.
Does Simple by Monkey Vision support AI person and vehicle detection?

Why does my Simple camera fail to connect to Wi‑Fi?
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.
Is my data secure with Simple by Monkey Vision?
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.

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.
App Store
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.
App Store
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.
App Store
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.
Google Play
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.
Google Play
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.
Google Play
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.
Google Play
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.
Google Play
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.
