IdeaPad Slim 3i 17″ Gen 11

Configured with Intel® Core™ Series 3 processor, 50Whr Battery, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage it’s enough to cover the basic home computing tasks, and its roomy 17″ FHD anti-glare display it gives users plenty of room to spread out for multitasking or a solid screen for entertainment.

Unlike many traditional video doorbells that passively record motion, this video doorbell pairs advanced AI detection with live US-based security agents to actively deter intruders and package thieves in real time – even when you are asleep, away, or unable to answer an alert.

SimpliSafe® Video Doorbell Series 2

The SimpliSafe^® Video Doorbell Series 2 with Active Guard Outdoor Protection is an AI-powered doorbell camera that can detect potential threats and alert live, U.S.-based agents who take action to keep package thieves and intruders away from the home. Most residential video doorbells are designed to record activity and notify the homeowner, often after an incident has occurred. Rather than serving as a passive camera, the SimpliSafe^® Video Doorbell Series 2 brings live agent crime deterrence directly to the front door to help stop crime before it starts. With sharper video, smarter detection*, and instant alerts, the Video Doorbell Series 2 helps customers stay informed and in control the moment people or packages arrive.
