    Good Entry Level Security System for a small house

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Summary ------- This is the most basic system of all the SimpliSafe system that is available and it works for a small monitoring fee. Note that you can use this system as a standalone unit without monitoring as well. For the price it is good for a small house Whats in the box ---------------- 1. Base station 2. Keypad 3. 1 motion sensor 4. 4. Entry sensors The motion sensor is capable of capturing motion anywhere in a small room. The door /window opening sensor can help detect opening doors and windows. Details -------- The setup is pretty simple an straight forward and almost a plug and play. you get 1 month free monitoring. The motion sensing and the window/door opening detection is pretty straight forward in installation. The Motion sensing uses CR-123A and the door/window opening sensors use CR2032. These have a good amount of rated battery life and i could not really test. The app you can download also works to arm and disarm and you dont really need to use the keypad. The system itself is subsidized and they really make money from monitor. Actually and the monitoring is cheaper than some of the competitors ike ADT. The base also has a built in battery which is good, THe whole system is wifi enabled. The base also functions as a siren. So essentially if you have a smaller house and you are a first time home owner, this works very good and its well recommended.

    SimpliSafe Indoor Home Security Kit 7pc

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I received my SimpliSafe Indoor Home Security Kit 7pc system a week ago and have been putting it through its paces. Lucky for me, I have become very familiar with the SimpliSafe brand over the last few years as I already have a SimpliSafe system currently installed in my condo - and also they installed a SimpliSafe system in our offices at work. I also installed a SimpliSafe system at my mom’s house in Florida. This new 7 piece kit will be installed as an addition to my current setup at home. UNBOXING You’re greeted with a “Security Starts Here,” packet with steps on how to get started. This packet includes (2) SimpliSafe window decal stickers to display that your home is covered and protected by SimpliSafe. A 1 month free trial card is also included which gets you 30 days of 24/7 Professional Monitoring. Now onto the real unboxing: 1st Box: Base Station 2nd Box: Entry Sensor 3rd Box: Entry Sensor 4th Box: Entry Sensor 5th Box: Entry Sensor 6th Box: KeyPad 7th Box: Motion Sensor Also included in the box is a stake and a sign placard to be displayed in your yard, alerting any potential trespassers/creepy people that your home/office is covered and protected by SimpliSafe. Once you have everything unboxed, now you can move on to setting up the system. Its quick and easy as well as fun. SETUP This is where to fun begins for me, however, for new customers, just follow along with the User Manual step by step. First you're instructed to download and install the SimpliSafe app to your phone. It's available on the App Store for iPhone and the Google Play Store for Android devices. Next, you will need to create and setup an account with SimpliSafe. The account is free to setup, the monitoring service is for a fee. However, you do get a free 30-day trial included with this system which you can try out, but be forewarned, that SimpliSafe want to be able to keep you as a customer, so in order to cancel that 30-day trial, you have to call into the to cancel. So after your account is setup and verified via email. Now you're going to start off with setting up the Base Station. Scan the QR Code on the bottom of the Base Station or enter the number on your phone. You will also be prompted to connect the Base Station to your home Wi-Fi network. After getting your Base Station setup, the keypad will prompt you to setup any additional devices such the Entry Sensor, Cameras (not included in this package), Motion Sensors, etc. Following the instructions on the app, install the Entry Sensors where you feel you need protection the most. They can be affixed to doors and windows or any other point of entry into your home. Next install the Keypad via the app along with a Master Pin. Install the Motion Sensors following along with the app and you’re set. This process should take 30 minutes or less, but go a your own pace and its okay to double check everything as you go along if you’re new to installing something like this. PROS SimpliSafe is a company that I have come to love over the last 8 years. I had an older SimpliSafe system at the old apartment. Then having installed another system at my office building at work a few years ago and now installing one in my home, I have been used to the ease of installation and the flow of the app. Everything just works. I've never had any issues with any of the sensors, or other devices, that I've installed from SimpliSafe. The Keypad is simple and easy to use. The display on the Keypad kinda reminds of the old BlackBerry Storm type phone I had with T-Mobile back in day where you press the whole screen down to make selections. It's simple to use and you can adjust setting for your keypad and entry sensors on the keypad. You can also check for updates for the keypad and Base Station as well. Now in terms of security, once you have your account setup and depending on what level you choose, SimpliSafe representatives will notify you in case of anything going on at your house. Break-ins, fires, or alarms going on. Now I've tried this in the past and they are quick and on it as soon as they get an alert, they are calling you to make sure you are ok and aware of what's going on. The reps that I've spoken with have always been courteous and professional. CON (but definitely not a dealbreaker) After you test out the system for 30-days you have to call in to cancel it. I wish they would allow you to cancel it (online or within the app) without having to call in. Overall, this is a great system for your home, office, and anywhere you want to keep safe. The build quality of the products is top-notch as well as their customer service reps. And you get a lot of bang for your buck in this bundle, even with a 30-day free trial of their monitoring system. Simply its peace of mind in a box.

    I got the opportunity to try this SimpliSafe indoor system for a couple weeks now, and honestly, it couldn’t have not arrived at a better time. We recently moved to a new home and I wanted to add some security system. First, I will say the package came nice and organize. Immediately from opening the package, I had a good feeling about SimpliSafe, and I have never really heard of this company. Setup was super easy. I had all the sensors and parts up and running within 15 minutes. The equipment is all white and looks modern. I really like the base and the light color it displays. I left it out in the open in my living room and it gives my living room a nice tech touch. The app is simple and works really well. I played around with the settings so I can get get instant alerts when a door opens even when I am home. I am currently in the free month trial, but I honestly don’t know if I will keep paying. This is the only thing I wish was included or just a lower fee. I already have a subscription for almost everything, I don’t think I need another one. Some of the things I really like: • Setup was quick and easy • The equipment is white and that helps it blend in my home • The app is easy to navigate and the responses work Some of the things I would of like: • Make the keypad a little smaller, it’s huge! • A doorbell or a camera included would have been nice • Lower monthly fees That said, overall, it seems like a great security system, and like I said it couldn’t of come at a better time for us. Very happy with it!

    The Simplisafe 7pc Indoor Home Security System lives up to its name. It is indeed super simple to set up. With installing many systems throughout the years (and this being my second SimpliSafe system), it's certainly refreshing not having to spend a lot of time connecting everything. The app, designed to support the system, is user-friendly as well. This makes it perfect for those who just want a security system with no frills or fancy additions. The package I received includes a Base Station, a Keypad with a small LCD screen, four entry sensors for doors and windows, and a motion sensor. It also comes with some signs and stickers displaying that the house is protected by SimpliSafe. To start, you need to download the app (or go online) and create an account. I already had an account, but if you're new to SimpliSafe, you'll need to provide your information, including your address, phone numbers, names of residents, and secondary contact details. Next, you must choose a monitoring plan. SimpliSafe offers three options: the low-cost self-monitoring plan, which stores video and sends alerts; the standard monitoring plan that removes video storage and verifications but includes professional monitoring (they will call you in an emergency and contact the police if you can't be reached), and the Fast Protect plan, which costs about $1 a day. The Fast Protect plan includes professional monitoring, cellular backup during blackouts or internet outages, an extended warranty on equipment as long as you remain subscribed, and a 10% discount on additional hardware purchases. We've opted for the standard monitoring plan throughout the last year or so. We appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing we'll be contacted if the alarm goes off while we're away as we travel throughout the year. Setting up the devices is also straightforward. The app guides you through the process for each device. Simply select the type of device you are setting up, pull the battery tab (or insert a battery), press a button on the device, assign a location or name, and then install the device. The app provides videos to further assist you, which is very convenient, but everything is self-explanatory. Using the keypad is simple; it has three modes: OFF, HOME, and AWAY. Both Home and Away activate the system, but different sensors are activated depending on the mode. In Away mode, everything is turned on. In contrast, Home mode deactivates the motion sensors. If you have the camera(s), it will only activate if triggered. You can modify these settings to suit your needs. The sensors and most SimpliSafe accessories are all white, which isn't ideal if you have dark-painted trim or paneling, as they can stand out and appear unattractive. Offering options in black or colored sensors would benefit customers with darker decor. While painting them could be an alternative solution, we chose not to pursue that option. I do wish they'd upgrade their products a bit. Every year, it seems the sensors, base and keypad are the exact same, which is a gift and a curse, I guess. On one hand, you don't find yourself missing out on the newest and greatest every year, but on the other, you don't improve much by upgrading or adding packages to save money. Overall, this system is very affordable and easy to set up. I've already received offers for additional components at 40% off. I plan to expand my setup with cameras, possibly a doorbell, as well as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms. I'm looking to move away from Nest, especially since its security system has reached the end of its life as of 2024. I highly recommend this system to anyone searching for a reasonably priced home alarm solution that isn't overly complicated to install.

    SimpliSafe Home Security System

    The SimpliSafe home security system comes with 4 Entry Sensors 1 Keypad 1 Motion Sensor 1 Base Station 1 Owner’s Manual 2 Window Decals 1 Yard Stake 1 Yard Sign Additionally you can purchase other sensors. The base station can monitor up to 100 sensors. It contains a backup battery that lasts up to 24 hours during power outages. It also has built-in cellular and Wi-Fi capabilities and can switch as needed. I could not locate anything describing the cellular bandwidth. If you purchase professional monitoring the base station also backs up. The Keypad is small, and battery powered. There are no wires to run or holes to drill. When you arm the system with the keypad it will alert you if there are any open windows or doors. With professional monitoring if an intruder smashes your keypad, it will still send an alert. The keypad had a bright display with illuminated display. The entry sensor can be separated from the magnet by up to two inches and still work. The sensor comes with a battery and adhesive tape already installed. The sensor detects the magnet is over 2 inches away from it and signals an open door/window. These 2 inches allow for fitting to any door or window frame. The motion sensor has a 90 degrees field of view and a 35-foot range. If properly installed in a corner, you can cover most rooms with just one. The motion sensor has pet mode and will not trigger an event for your pet. You can also set it up to quickly contact your phone in case of an event. You can also install indoor and outdoor cameras. If you purchase the professional monitoring the agent can also see what triggered the event and act quickly to get the right assistance to your door.

    SimpliSafe - 7pc Indoor Security System - White is a reasonably comprehensive security system. It adds the ease of a straightforward DIY setup, making it a stress-free experience for homeowners or renters. It boasts a lot of features, including an unbreakable keypad motion sensor for window and door contacts, as well as a tower-like command center. It incorporates advanced AI protection, which can intelligently detect potential threats, and 24/7 human monitoring, ensuring that any detected threat is promptly addressed. I was looking for something that didn't require high-priced equipment or a long-term contract. I was able to install this in about 45 minutes, and it was up and running within that time. It included one month of monitoring, but they have a lot of different plans to choose from—the motion sensor can detect movement up to 35 ft with a 90° angle from the sensor. And the numerical keypad is smash-proof. I have my system set up with my Alexa app for easy arming on the go. It also features a lovely, simple app that you can use to arm it as well. The app allows you to [insert app features here]. So, if you're in the market for some good home protection without a big blow to your wallet, I would check this one out.

    Simplisafe has been a trusted security provider for a long time. I have an outdoor system so the ability to add an indoor system was intriguing. The first thing I like is the packages are customizable. This is a pre-assembles set but you can add more sensors alone cameras if you wish. I haven’t added the cameras yet but I am planning on it. Installation was very easy. Not having to run wires is a bonus. It took me less than an hour to set this system up. The door sensors work very well. The motion sensors work well and do not pick up out dogs. It has been reported that high temperatures may make the sensors less reliable but I have not experienced that yet. There is a monthly service fee but there are many different levels you can choose from. Bottom line if you are buying a security system assume you will need it to be monitored. This package is less than $30 per month for me but there are cheaper options including you monitoring it yourself. The only blemish is the app. While it works it is not as intuitive as you would hope. That always seems to be the weak spot of any system that uses an app. Overall this is a very solid system that can be purchased for a very reasonable price.

    No Fees If You Just Want The Basics

    This is a great security solution for really any home. I could see using this at vacation homes, as well as using it as your primary system at your residence. I happen to be using mine in an RV and it’s been working out great connected to a wireless home internet service. I love that you don’t have to have a monthly subscription for this, and you can still remotely arm and disarm your system, view your cameras, (even though I don’t have any yet), review and receive alerts, and use most of the features on the app. The hardware seems really well built as well, and I like the ease of set up. No wires other than the ac cable to the brain. That does mean that you will have to replace the batteries, I’m guessing annually though I haven’t used it enough to know that for sure but based on my usage of other similar products, that could easily be the case. I really like the phone style input for the security pad. It makes entering codes very intuitive. The siren is piercing especially inside the RV that would definitely jar intruder. This system is well worth a try just for the peace of mind it gives and no fees option.

    I have used many different types of security systems for my home, most recently ADP security and I had several issues with that system, including having to call technicians out to replace components and also having to reset and replace batteries and various devices included with it. With a DIY security system like the reputable SimpliSafe, you are fully in charge of how this is set up and better yet, how it runs and how its laid out. This includes everything, from the base station to the easy to use keypad and easy to set up sensors you can place anywhere, from doors to windows. These are all easy to mount and connect instantly to the base station which syncs with the keypad and the easy to use SimpliSafe app that shows you exactly how its laid out and what is turned on armed etc. The sensors are intuitive and are not overly sensitive like an ADP. The services of course come at a minimal cost, but nothing compared to ADP overly expensive system which basically does the same thing as this and this is just easier to set up and use. Highly recommended.
