Reliable security system with great expandability.
This is by far one of the easiest pieces of security system I've ever installed. It's the renter-friendly option when landlords don't have a system in place. It is due to the wireless nature of the entire system, which is a welcome sight to some and technical difficulties for others. My system arrived a little weird; in one box, you get your base station and sensors. While in another, cameras. So we won't touch on the aesthetics of the packaging. IN THE BOX Upon opening the box, I was first met with instructional material and window stickers. You get the standard manuals, extra adhesive tapes, and yard signs with a box of stakes. Then your base station, 4x entry sensors, 2x motion sensors, a keypad, and a camera. SETUP Setup to bring the system online, you really only need WiFi in your home and an outlet for the base station. After plugging in, the instructions direct you to download the Simplisafe app, which then instructs you to create a free account. At this point, you're spammed that your system includes a 30-day trial of professional monitoring, but declining this at this point doesn't disqualify your system from the offer. Once on the home screen, you can begin adding individual devices, including motion sensors, door/window entry sensors, cameras, remotes, and keypads. The instructions call for pulling the battery label and pressing a button found on the sensor device. Then within seconds, the base station says it's paired. The most difficult portion of all this, primarily for those that aren't tech-inclined, is creating a SimpliSafe account and downloading/linking with the app. PERFORMANCE Every piece of hardware has multiple customization options to suit your use case. For me, I've set up different motion sensors with and without pet mode. Arming the system takes about 25 seconds in "Home" mode and 60 seconds in "Away" mode. You can change the amount of time it takes to arm from the settings window in the app in case your selected location for hardware isn't in an optimal place to exit, or in case you're trying to make it more difficult to access by a would-be thief. With pet mode active, I can move slowly across a motion sensor without triggering its detection. This might be related to your placement of the motion sensor. The cameras detect quickly, and within 30 seconds, your alarm triggers. Enabling instant trigger will make the alarm go off as soon as an event occurs. Picture quality in both light and dark is phenomenal. The camera really surprised me, as it functions as a wired device and a battery-operated camera. Installing is a breeze; there are 2 screws for the baseplate of the camera, and the base slides right over. The sensors come with pre-applied adhesive strips and screws for a more permanent install. The audible alarm, while reasonably loud, isn't as loud as I was expecting. According to the documentation and upon a visual inspection of the base station, there is an internal battery and a SIM card under the top cover. As for the SIM card, it's easily visible once you slide off the top cover; however, the same can't be said of the battery. In fact, no piece of hardware that includes a replaceable battery has any instructions or details on the hardware to access said battery. The potential issue here is with the wireless nature of the unit. According to the instructions, the base station needs to be close to the router but not next to each other. I assume they can cause interference with each other. From there, all your connected devices talk with the base station wirelessly. If you have poor WiFi in your home, this can create issues for you. While excessive wireless interference may limit the range or performance of your connected devices, i.e., sensors, cameras, smoke detectors, Keypads, etc. TAKEAWAYS In my home, this system has performed admirably. I have come across several mentions of the base station suddenly disconnecting from monitoring, but that isn't something I can complain about as of now. Labeling of the products to detail how to service the units would be something I would have expected from a unit like this. While I like that the base is wireless, it would be far more reliable if it were wired or included the option to hard wire or WiFi. The camera has terrific video quality, but without a subscription, all you have is a motion sensor that you can view. There are no offline recording options, but cloud-based motion recording with a sub. The privacy shutter is a welcome surprise, as it opens automatically when you arm the system and shuts when disabled. Viewing a live stream while disabled opens the shutter for the period of time you are viewing. Real-time audio has very little to almost no latency. Every piece being wireless means the installation time of a DIY system is incredibly fast. Upon linking the app to the base station, the setup process includes the use of a safe word. With a subscription, should the alarm trigger and the monitoring center reach out to you, they'll want that safe word to disable the alarm. This makes using your home's landline a viable telephone contact, as it makes it difficult for a burglar to provide this safe word to disable the system. Overall, a great choice if you don't mind some installation work yourself and have at least a basic set of technical skills. While fully functional as a disconnected, self-monitoring system, it doesn't truly shine unless connected and monitored. This is worth 5-stars.

An easy setup home alarm system
The SimpliSafe Indoor Safety Security kit is arguably the easiest alarm systems to install. This review focuses on the eight piece kit which is sold as a standard package. As a bonus, I will also add my thoughts on the SimpliSafe Indoor Smartcam as well. The Simplisafe Safety Security kit (8-piece version) comes with a base station, a control panel, four entry sensors, two motions sensors and some stickers and a sign and the usual QuickStart documentation. Setup is primarily easy. Download the SimpliSafe app from the app store (iOS or Android) and create an account then follow instructions on the app. The first thing to do is to setup the base base station by connecting it to wi-fi. Upon setup, the app can now allow you to add peripherals in any order. With this kit the peripherals include the control panel, entry-sensors, and motion sensors. While the app can pretty much do anything for the system, the control panel comes in handy as a physical control which can be accessed by any member of your household who does not have access to the app. Installation of the control panel is easy as it has 3M adhesives to install. No more screws. The same thing applies to others. But screws are also included. There are four entry sensors included and I have installed three sensors in the three doors of our house. I might as well install the last in a window. I have installed the two motion sensors in our dining room and living room. Once setup, the use of the system pretty much easy. There are generally three control buttons namely Off, Home, and Away. When the mode setting is set to Away, all sensors are activated including motion sensors. (Note the motion sensors can be set to pet mode to minimize alarms.) When in Home mode, the motion sensors are deactivated so as to minimize fans alarms. Off mode is pretty much obvious. A PIN is required for the control of the system for added security. SimpliSafe offers two plans. One is the free plan which only sets off the siren from the base which by the way emits 80db sound and a paid plan (99 cents/day) but that includes a professional staff who will coordinate with your local law enforcement officials in case of emergency. A free trial of one month is provided for you to try the service. There is no hard sell in this unlike other alarm companies. Unfortunately, the city that I live discourages alarm systems that integrate with law enforcements as there are many false alarms. As such I cannot even try the trial period for that service. As mentioned earlier, I will include the indoor smart camera. The indoor smart camera is basically self contained device. It has its own alarm, mic, motion sensor and power supply. But it can also integrate with the base station as well. Upon integration, the indoor smart camera works perfectly and the images are crystal clear which IMO are better than other systems. I also has motion sensing too. So this camera is situated in our receiving area. But do note that if you want storage, you have to subscribe to the plan. Overall, the system works as advertised but I do have some nitpicking to do. First I wish it has geocaching so that the alarm will activate when I’m gone. And I cannot find a way temporarily activate individual devices. But then again, this is nitpicking and should not be a dealbreaker. I highly recommend this system to everybody.
