It’s easy to transform your home into a safe haven with SimpliSafe’s award-winning security system. Everything is simple to set up, effortless to use, and designed to do one thing only: keep your home and family safe. Outdoor security cameras let you see everything happening in full HD. So you can spot trouble before it comes knocking and capture the evidence if it does. And if someone tries to break in, the burglary sensors will sound the alarm right away. But that’s not all. Whenever your alarm goes off, we’ll call you and send police, firefighters, or ambulances to your door in a snap — and stay on the line with you until they arrive. So no matter where you are or what you’re doing, your home is protected 24/7.
Q: Do you have tonoay for monthly monitoring
A: No, but all you get without paying for monitoring is real time viewing without the ability to capture or save video. Please read my review carefully, as I point out that you need the $25 / Month monitoring plan to capture continuous video from the app. This fact is not advertised clearly.
Q: I already have a full simplisafe system. Can I purchase this set for the additional parts?
A: Yes you can. I just purchased this solely for the cameras (value is ridiculous vs separate purchase!) and was able to link them to my current base station without using the base in the package.
Q: How much is a monthly subscription?
A: There's 4 plans that provide different options. Self monitoring is free, so you could buy the system and never pay for any services. To enable recording, that's $10/mo. To get dispatching that's $15/mo. The most comprehensive service is $25/mo. If you don't want to pay but want to monitor things or see recordings of events, Simplisafe is not the way to go for free.
Q: Are the outside cameras motion sensor and shine a light in dark areas?
A: Yes, the Outdoor Camera features intelligent motion detection that can tell the difference between humans and other moving objects. It also features a spotlight for color vision even at night!
A: Yes. An optional 25-foot power cord can be purchased. At a cost of about $50, It’s not cheap.
Q: How many door and window sensors can be added to the system?
A: Even though you can add more devices including cameras, they all work off your home WiFi system and the Bandwidth used may impact all your devices on the WiFi. I have multiple cameras so I reduce the Video quality down a little to save some bandwidth.
Q: How long does the batteries last and how do you charge them?
A: Full charge lasts about 2 1/2 to 3 months. Depends on how much usage it gets. The battery comes out of the camera very quickly and just plugs into a provided cable which plugs into any USB port/ Apple charger box. It takes a few hour to charge fully.
A: Yes, all of the items in this package communicate wirelessly. But unfortunately no, SimpliSafe is not able to integrate with other camera systems.
