SimpliSafe

But don't let the whole thing about the Ring and stuff scare you too much.

Self-installed options like Ring and SimpliSafe are largely wireless, so the installation is a little more than screwing or gluing things to walls.

As you're choosing the security system, you want to keep in mind that there are privacy implications, and that may be an even bigger factor for you since you mentioned children.

For example, Ring has very famously shared vast amounts of recordings with law enforcement.

Oh my gosh! And you're not even married yet.

Nothing ever happened.

Services like ADT, SimpliSafe, and Ring all work with home automation systems, so you should be able to automate some actions if that appeals to you.

For example, turn off the alarm if your phone is more than a certain radius away from the house.

So like, you know, if we're going to support small businesses, is the state going to start doing security money for all these other businesses in Lewiston for them to all build a wall too? Are we just going to become like Caracas where every business in Lewiston has a wall because they need to be safe and that's just the price we have to pay because diversity is our superpower?

Where is this going to go? Didn't the legislature give appropriations to lawmakers to pay for their SimpliSafe or something? They did do that.

This is what's going to happen.

They're going to give a grant $10 million to the Maine People's Alliance to help everyone improve their safety.

We're still looking for partners basically to go and like full service white glove support for a home that works.

you know, maybe it's like a, you know, an ADT or a SimpliSafe or somebody that already has these customers, maybe an ISP that can go and say, oh, well, you know, we can outfit your home with, you know, KamiCare and we're going to support you and install it.

But yeah, at home, you know, we haven't done any kind of training or AI training.

It's only been in the community setting.

Correct.

Why not just say, "I went to Pepperdine Law, Law School, and then took a different career path, and I took the bar once and didn't pass it." Why get into this long, drawn-out definition between the difference between a lawyer and an attorney? 'Cause I don't think most people see much of a distinction.

Why didn't you just say, "I never practiced law"?

Well, Sean, I, when I moved back from the United States, I didn't retake the bar.

We had to keep reconnecting that camera.

And we called SimpliSafe, and they said, oh, that's an older model camera.

We'll send you a new camera.

Now, over the last few weeks, we found the same problem recurring.

Yeah, but the first time this happened, Beth, this

was a hardware problem.

And I, you know, with it as close to the base as it is for SimpliSafe, I would wonder if this is a hardware problem again.

If perhaps this might be a refurbished camera that does not operate as it should, or if there is another update somewhere that SimpliSafe may need to provide Dave for his home security system.
