Meet your home’s new best friend: buddy.

Built with best in class materials and innovative features to keep you and your family safe.

Buddy Safety was created with you and your family in mind. We wanted to build a system that beat any other system on the market on features, quality, and affordability. 

In a world full of security devices made of cheap plastic and copy-cat designs… It is time for a product that offers more: more metal, more battery, more features, more bang for your buck, more curb appeal, more care, more safety.

Buddy Safety was started to do just that. Build a better home security system.

We built a complete and comprehensive system from scratch. Focusing on using only premium materials and developing features that are original to our product line and hyper useful to you.  

The buddy. product line includes: 

  • AI Smart Doorbell
  • Chime
  • Outdoor AI Camera
  • Indoor AI Camera
  • 12 in 1 Room Sensor
  • Door/Window Sensor

The buddy. System is a complete and comprehensive one, we wanted to bring you a whole system not just one piece of it.

Quickly arm the system before you leave for the day or before you go to bed.
Easily disarm the system when you are home.

The buddy. app is user-friendly and intuitive. We built it to be just as capable as our devices. All of the most used tools are quickly accessible and we even built in features that are unique to our product line.

The buddy. System works with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa!

No hidden costs, no surprises, and no strings attached! We wanted buddy. to be as affordable as possible, so we built all the functionality into the devices themselves so that we don’t need the cloud to process the AI for the smart alerts. This results in both faster detections and no need for a monthly fee for the devices to operate.

This offer is exclusively for our Kickstarter backers. We want our backers to be apart of the Buddy Safety family for years to come! We also understand that technology moves fast and we plan to make better devices each year. As a thank you to our backers, we want to provide future hardware upgrades at no additional cost to you!

How do we plan to do this? (You may be thinking…)

All of the buddy. devices are built with recyclable materials, when it is time for our new devices to be released, we will ship you our new system and have you ship back your old system to us. We will then recycle any materials we can (such as the aluminum frame) into new devices.

We also ask that you give us feedback often so that we can make the best possible system for many years to come! There is a special part of the buddy. application that only backers will have access to where you can vote on the new designs and features for future devices.

In short, we greatly value your trust in us and want to give back to you!

buddy. AI Doorbell

One of the defining features of all the buddy. products is the use of a large LED ring or panel. When designing the devices our team wanted to build a way for the devices to communicate with you and your visitors in an effective and inviting way as well as serve as a deterrent for intruders. 

You are able to customize the colors and the way the LED panel functions, all in your buddy. application.

The buddy. Doorbell is packed with innovative and useful features:

  • 4K Resolution
  • 12 Megapixel Image Sensor
  • On-Device AI Processing (Edge AI)
  • 10,000 mAH Rechargeable Battery (USB-C)
  • 18+ Month Battery Life per Full Charge (Depending on Use)
  • Speaker and Microphone for Two Way Talk
  • CNC Machined Aluminum Body
  • Nano Coated for Scratch Resistance
  • IP67 Rated (Waterproof and Weatherproof)
  • Wired or Wireless – 2.4/5 GHz Wifi Supported
  • Both Local and Cloud Storage Options (Internal SD Card Slot and 60 Days of Cloud Storage)
  • Made in the USA

The front of buddy. Doorbell features the signature LED ring, a large doorbell button, and a 12 Megapixel AI enhanced camera. 

The top and bottom of the doorbell have both a speaker and a microphone.

The entire enclosure is made of CNC machined 7076 aluminum. We chose to use this material to ensure our products are as durable and premium as possible.

The back of the buddy. Doorbell features an area for you to wire your doorbell if your home is wired for a doorbell. It can run without being wired as it has a 10,000 mAH internal rechargeable battery. The battery can be recharged with a USB-C cable that is provided.

buddy. Chime

The buddy. Chime unit is powered by an internal 12,000 mAH battery, you can also plug in the unit to an outlet or power it via USB-C. The chime unit has a powerful and loud speaker to alert you when the doorbell has been pressed, door is open, or the alarm is triggered. You also get these alerts to your app!

How the buddy. Chime unit performs can all be customized to your liking in the buddy. application. You can change the sound it plays when the doorbell is pressed and even have the LED panel change colors when you have a package that has been delivered.

The buddy. Chime functionalities can all be customized via the buddy. application
