Wireless home security should be something you set up once and then forget about — until you actually need it. Simple by Monkey Vision is the official mobile app from Mammoth Innovation Pty Ltd that turns the brand's battery-powered Simple wireless cameras and doorbell into an anywhere, anytime security system. 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.

How to Set Up Simple by Monkey Vision
Getting a Simple camera online takes just a few minutes:
- Download Simple by Monkey Vision from the App Store or Google Play
- Create an account with your email address and verify it

- Add device in the app and follow the on-screen prompts — typically scanning a QR code or entering your 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi details

Because the Simple range is fully wireless and battery-powered, there are no cables to run and nothing to wire into the mains — most users complete the entire install in under ten minutes.
