Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not worth the money. Is easy and simple to set up, yes. However battery lifespan is horrible. Maybe a week. The camera dont record without the company's monthly monitoring service. There is no function for the camera. Ended up paying more money for google instead.

The purchase was easy enough when “I called in” I couldn’t get the purchase to work online. Plus it said you get a free door lock. Even when I called, the person said I’d get the free door lock. Package arrived, no door lock

Easy set up and use! Great value and product! Will buy more pieces to add.

Great overall value, and cameras are easy to set up.

Love this system! Easy to set up and use and works great!

The product is easy to setup and manage. Technical support helped us optimize our installation. The cameras have excellent battery life. This our second system and we are very happy with Simplisafe

Great security system for the price! Easy set up!

Great security system! Batteries last a long time! I only dislike i have to pay to keep my video stored and dont have an option to add a storage decice to record directly to local

I love the performance of the outdoor cameras. I love the self monitor option. Note: it took a call to customer service to add these to my existing system. Had to use my phone as a Hotspot to bypass internet firewall. Took about 30 minutes once we figured out problem.

The outdoor cameras have to be recharged every two weeks which is a pain. I should've looked for solar powered cams.

Growing up, I have always had an alarm system in my home. It was one of those hardwired systems. When thinking about an security system for my home now, which I rent, the best solution is a wireless setup. This 9 piece set from Simplisafe is pretty nice. It has all the things that a hardwired system would have but it's wireless and doesn't require and difficult installation or running of wires. That makes my life easier. The design of everything is pretty nice. Simple and I love the soft white color. The keypad feels good to the touch and doesn't require much effort to input my code. The main base station is nice and sits next to me router. It fits in well and isn't an eyesore. All the sensors I setup on my windows work as they should and send an alarm quickly without delay. The motion sensors and cameras are great. They pick up important things and not just an animal running around or wind blowing something around. The picture quality is okay. It could definitely be better but it does the job. I like the two way audio. I don't have to open my door to deal with people. This works especially well for solicitors and such. The sirens also work well and are pretty loud. The app on my phone is excellent and I am easily able to do everything I need from there. All in all, I enjoy this security system and feel a little bit safer knowing I can depend on it doing what it's supposed top do.

These cameras work well. They are compatible with other off brand solar panels too. I never have to worry about my battery or distance from power. They only concern is if it's close enough to the wifi signal.

So far it has been great. I am thinking about adding another camera.

SimpliSafe home security system is an excellent DIY system. This package comes with the Base station, 4 entry sensors, 1 motion sensor, 2 cameras, a keypad, and all the mounting hardware required. The build quality of all the hardware is well made and they are quite easy to install. You do not need to drill or run wires across your home to put these up. I highly recommend downloading the app before you begin so you can use it to connect everything to the Base station easily. The Base station is your main unit that monitors all the sensors. It is connected to your network wirelessly and plugged into a wall outlet for power. It also has a built-in cellular connection and a backup battery that can last 24 hours in case of a power failure. The cameras use a rechargeable batteries that can last anywhere between 3 to 6 months. The other sensors come with pre-installed batteries that are rated to last 3-5 years. The cameras have ultra-wide angle viewing at 1080p HD resolution and supports color night vision and two-way audio. They are also rated as IP65 weather resistant. If you decide to get additional sensors later, the Base station is capable of handling up to 100 sensors. The SimpliSafe security system is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. I wish it also had Apple HomeKit support. Since the Keypad is wireless, you can install it anywhere to arm/disarm the system. I set it up near the front door, so it is easy to operate as you enter the home. The system has 3 modes of operation, Home, Away, and Off, but you can configure which sensors to arm or bypass for each mode. You can use the system without any subscription, but that limits it to just arming and disarming. With the available professional monitoring subscription, you get remote monitoring, 24x7 camera recordings, download them etc. SimpliSafe subscription is still cheaper than most monitoring services. If you are in the market for a DIY security system and looking for a system with various sensors and possibility of future additions, SimpliSafe is one of the best and most cost-effective security systems.

First the quality of the components are rock solid. WiFi connectivity and cellular connection all were strong, stable and no loss of signals to date. The package comes with free full monitoring service for 3 months so that is really a big plus and good way to work out kinks in issues. The install took all of 90 minutes, really less as I was testing various locations for the two outdoor cameras. The keypad is a breeze to use and can be placed anywhere and is moveable off its base so easy to move from interior of house to front door or reverse. The keypad is very easy to read and where you can make all changes. Even better than the keypad is the app or the web page for your account. The install of various components offer two options in many cases, permanent with screws or with the adhesive strips both seem dependable. I love the cameras and color and clarity…1080p HD video. A 140° ultra-wide field of view. Plus digital zoom and full color vision at night and built-in spotlight + HDR let you see clearly 24/7. 8X zoom. Battery will last 3-6 months, I think will be less during Winter temperatures as battery will be reduced due to cold temperatures. The two way audio so far is pretty good, not very loud but adequate. The camera even has a siren that will go off if other sensors are tripped. These cameras are really the icing in the system. The motion sensor is omg so easy to set up and use…less than 10 minutes to install and activate. I love love the system with it many alarm modes and configuration for home and away bypasses. The numerous methods of alerting you to issues, and the 24/7 monitoring service and the monitoring fee will not in any way break any one’s bank. The internal base station siren is pretty loud but I also got an out door siren coupled with the external cameras…well plenty loud.

Given as a closing gift to home owners. They were very pleased

Very happy with this system. There’s no delay on images. The response is fast. Buying additional camera. Holds up extremely well in negative degree weather.
