    Very good Home Security Bundle. I got a door bell to add to the bundle which included two cameras, hub and three door/ window sensors and a key fob. Liked it but a little disappointed with the camera on the door bell,

    Takes a little bit for the cameras to load, although maybe thats normal with security cameras? Had issues setting up the account. Had to set it up through a browser. How you point the cameras is pretty cool. They are magnetic.

    Need replacement keypad

    Keypad and programming functions aren't working as stated so review may be early to review. Unable to override door or cameras which was told can do this. Camera battery lasts about 3 weeks outside--temperatures have been warm for WI and not below 30 degrees. Outdoor cameras were screwed into siding. Keyfob does work and is the only means we can arm or disarm the system. Contacted customer service who were very helpful and sending new keypad. To keep camera images for 30 days cost is approx $5/camera. Connecting for live view camera from anywhere other than house takes minutes or times out.

    The security system is great. The cameras are really subpar. I installed both of them and they are unable to start recording right when the motion happens. They face the driveway and recording captures delivery folks walking from the house. Also, the feature that allows to select which parts of the screen should be used for motion detection doesn't work. I worked with the support team and they mentioned this is known issue and they're working on the fix. Other buyers confirmed the same behavior on the SimpliSafe support portal.

      Apologies for the experience. We're aware of some customers seeing suboptimal performance from their Outdoor Cameras, and we're working on a firmware update that will address these concerns. Please keep an eye out for it soon. SimpliSafe

    Pro-Affordable. Con-Camera quality was ok at best. It was blurry & night vision was bad. Worst part would be getting notifications up 5 minutes later after the fact. We would be notified that someone was in the garage after it happened. We open up the app, & it takes minutes to load. It is not Wifi because i have the highest Xfinity has to offer. We were not happy with the product and returned it.
