    This purchase was worth every penny. It has all the features I wanted for a price I could afford. I especially love the automatically recorded video clips.

    Very affordable security system. It was installed using my Totaltech membership so I'm unsure of the level of difficulty for the installation. Monitoring costs are affordable as well. I have only had one issue with one of the window sensors coming loose but that was an easy fix as they provided additional supplies to re-attach it.

    Very easy to install and set up. Plenty of add-ons available should this kit not satisfy. I added additional motion and door sensors for my 4 bedroom home. Cameras require a service to maintain an online recording for sensed motion, but no service is required for manual recording.

    This security system package is to me the #1 system out there. Over 10 yrs of having ADT, i replaced them in little than 30mins. Very reliable and very quick in headquarters responding to alarms. The app is so easy and effective. Definitely advice everyone to give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    SimpliSafe Home Security System with Outdoor Camera is a great startup kit for any home that needs to secure inside, outside 24/7. SimpliSafe has been a leader of DIY home security for the past 8 years and with the 3rd generation unit they have remained and was holding the impressive industry standards for both easy to setup and seriously secure model with its optional 24/7 professional monitoring. This year they introduced the new wireless battery-operated outdoor camera, and this kit comes with everything for both inside and outside security. What’s in the box included in this system as package: Base Station, Wireless Outdoor Security Camera, Keypad, 3 qty of entry sensors, Motion Sensor, and Indoor Security Camera. Setup is simple and very much DIY as mentioned. Just plug the base station and follow the instructions on the app on your mobile. You will need to put your keypad into pairing mode, then pair it by pressing the button on sensors and giving it a name for each depending on where its is installed. Just add all the devices like outdoor, indoor cameras, motion sensor one by one. Just make sure you charge the batteries for minimum 2-3 hours until its 100% for the outdoor camera before installing it outdoor. SimpliSafe app is very intuitive and responds well. The best advantage of this system is adding additional cameras, sensors, and other accessories like water detectors, smoke detectors, key fob, siren, door locks, panic button, glass break sensor, doorbell to this ecosystem to make the home more secure and smart. Planning to add the key fob to arm and disarm quickly on the go. Purchasing as a package is more economical compared to adding later especially outdoor and indoor camera as both by itself cost around $270. Outdoor Camera is the latest addition and is impressive with its ultrawide 140degree HD color night vision. It has got a spotlight that activates at dark when motion is detected and deter intruders. Unlike other outdoor cameras, the spotlight cannot be controlled manually from the app, and it only activates when motion is detected at night. Pro - Simple, Easy to install and setup, Customization with addon’s, indoor camera shutter for additional privacy, outdoor wireless camera, smart alert notifications, built in cellular backup, power outage protection, Intuitive mobile app, 24/7 professional monitoring(optional), 30 days trial for professional monitoring, Voice activated and works with Amazon Alexa and Google assistant. Cons – Smart home integrations, missing full history of entry sensors, no cancellation option on the app (need to call for trial cancellation), very easy to remove outdoor camera. Overall, it’s a great DIY security system with optional professional 24/7 monitoring for any home.

    I chose to have the system professionally installed. It was a good decision. I was able to get my questions answered immediately and feel confident that I know how to use the system.
