Customer Ratings & Reviews

he 8 piece Simplesafe Home security system, comes nicely, packaged with well labeled boxes for each item. The eight piece set includes the base station which is plugged in with backup battery and it also includes a siren. The keypad is battery operated and includes alarm off, home and away. There is a 6 second default delay, which in a large house would not be long enough. This apparently is the default setting so I am hoping it can be extended. The set also includes four entry sensors for doors and windows and obviously this would not be enough for even a medium size house but additional ones can be purchased. The set includes a motion sensor for mounting in the house and there is also an outdoor camera that is both plug-in and battery. It comes with a yard sign which you’re supposed to display prominently. The set includes one month free monitoring and apparently is less than one dollar a day. The devices are designed to be easily moved with set up. I downloaded the app and it took me a while to scan and get the base system connected to the app, but I happen to be slow at this task. There is not a video doorbell included in this set, but an additional device can be added at additional expense there are also a multitude of other devices that can be purchased, which include water, temp, smoke/CO detectors, and an additional siren. I have long awaited to try the simplesafe security system since many of my friends use this system. The system is fairly easy to set up, but in order for it to be functional in a medium size house you would need to purchase the additional devices, especially the entry sensor since most houses have multiple doors and windows. I did not sign up for the one month free monitoring simply because I’m not convinced that I want someone viewing my cameras, 24 seven this however, would be an added protection in crime infested areas. I live in a relatively safe neighborhood therefore I’m not ready to invest in the 24 /7 monitoring. I think the simplesafe security system is a great alternative to the more expensive systems that are professionally installed. Overall, this eight piece simplesafe monitoring system is a very nice set up and works very well.

I've been a long time fan of the simplisafe security systems and devices and as such now with the newest series 2 outdoor camera I'm even more so. I've had the unique opportunity to be able to have experience with a lot of systems that come bundled such as this one does and this is an excellent starter set for someone just getting into the whole security system deal. So it's an 8 piece set in here you get the outdoor camera series 2, base station, a pet friendly 90° motion sensor, keypad and 4 entry sensors which basically can be used on doors windows etc to know if it's been tripped or "split". (Bonus 9th if you count the yard sign and stake) I myself preferred to add another camera to my system and smart locks for my doors which was easily done as well to complete my setup in a matter of minutes pairing to the base station. This is where this whole system excels is the ease of use and the app. It tells you stuff down to asking you what type of surface your mounting the camera on and then giving step by step instructions how to properly mount it! With optional 24 hour monitoring by security agents and the fully customizable alerts via app and functionality of adding even more devices like smart locks and all from simplisafe it really becomes and all in one solution that is the best complete package on the market.

This 8 piece SimpliSafe security system is one of the most easiest systems to install. There was absolutely no wiring of any kind involved. The window & door sensors are my favorite because i do have 5 kids who love to constantly open the doors so when im cleaning up & someone opens the door it will alert me.... as well if we are ever to have an intruder try to come in. The base stays charged for a good amount of time before recharging. Everything works with ease through the Simplisafe app. Installation was a breeze, the app setup is simple, and easy to use. The motion sensors work great... sometimes a little to great because almost any movement will set it off. I love that i can also use google assistant through the base as well. I can use the app from anywhere, not just at home. It also has a panic button, which i have not used yet but I love knowing that there is that added protection when needed. Overall this security system has made me feel more safe in my own home with my children and from intruders.
