Look at Ring Alarm, better and cheaper monitoring
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a gift for my daughter two years ago before Ring hit the market. It works ok, but no real interfaces and the monitoring is about $10 per month. Then Ring came along with their doorbell, spotlights, pathway lights, and alarm that are all integrated and controlled by their app. I have several ring products and for $99 a year you get all of them controlled online by the app, including the alarm monitoring. So Ring is cheaper and better. I wish it had been around when I bought this for her. I guess next house I know what to get her.

Quality Control
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I on't know whether to blame Best-buy or Simplisafe, because it appears this system was bought and returned and resold to me. Keypad wouldn't connect to other components of system, so I called Simplisafe. After reading the serial numbers to the agent, he said they were mismatched. Plus there was a torn off box lid inside the box the system came in. I returned it to Best-Buy. Waiting for new models to be reviewed before deciding to try it.

Ok, not great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sensors are difficult to apply to Windows and doors with even slightly uneven surfaces. The alarm siren is not loud at all.

Very easy to install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to install; response time for alarm to sound is about 8 seconds. That's a little disappointing.

No phone support
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a new security system and based on reviews this system looked good but when I tried to call about the installation, I could get through to anyone a SimpliSafe customer support. After waiting for 30mins I called the sale department and they picked up within 30 seconds. When I saw where they priorities were. I boxed up the system and took it back to the store for refund. Buy from a cut rate company and get cut rate service.

Sure it works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am sure it works well but the aesthetic is really... 1980's. Dont know why it was made that way the new stuff is actually pretty good looking. But I found that after I signed up with ADT. I know that may not be a good metric but it really is outstandingly outdated looking.

Poor system poor customer service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not catch a signal. Tried calling their customer service they don’t answer. Tried leaving call back number they didn’t call back. Returned the product. Tried emailing them to cancel subscription, they responded that I have to call to cancel. Called, waited 1 hour before they answered. I could go on but it’s senseless. I would not recommend this to anyone. Poor product poor customer service.

Easy Setup, Reasonable Price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been looking for DIY systems for a while and decided to give Simplisafe a try. Set up was a breeze and took less than 5 minutes. Only issue was connection to monitoring station as I live in a remote area. Called the customer service number and got a response very quick. Within 10 minutes we had determined it was a weak signal problem and they sent a Verizon module overnight. (Most systems come with a t-mobile module). Everything is working great. The interactive website and mobile app works great and is easy to use. I also like you can easily assign codes to fiends and family at a click of a button. The monitoring rates are very reasonable compared to most companies. No contracts! The Best Buy bundles were a good fit for me because it didn't need all the bells and whistles that came with the direct from simplisafe website. Overall really happy with the purchase.

Poor Connectivity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The key pad is only 30 feet from the base and it is always telling me that it is out of range. I don’t understand why.
