    We are thoroughly happy with our SimpliSafe purchase. The store representative gave us a great explanation of how it works and helped us purchase the correct package for our needs. SimpliSafe security has been great to use. Their customer service is wonderful. We are so glad we purchased this type of security system and that Best Buy was able to provide it.

    I bought this after having my third discussion with ADT over pricing after I completed the 3 year contract. I was told one thing before the contract would be up in two weeks and then when it was up, told something else. In a huff, I went online to look at SimpliSafe which I had looked at over the last couple of years. Saw it on sale at BB, ordered it and picked it up in the store an hour later. Tore out the ADT devices and installed this in a couple of hours. I was fussy with the install so it took a bit longer than they say it does. Had it installed before I went to bed. The fact that there were no holes to drill in walls, woodwork or doors was great. Easy to remove because they use the 3M Command strips so you can put in new strips and remount again if needed. The little tails of the strips hide neatly within the covers. I did have issues with error messages saying the base was not connecting to the monitoring center every now and then. After a few calls to SimpliSafe support I had a representative that was trying to troubleshoot the issue, It turns out that if you have solid surface or stone counter tops, the base has issues communicating all the time. Putting a cork coaster under the base totally fixed this. He told me a magazine or anything not solid or stone would work. I have had a couple of incidences and was totally impressed with their response time. When I called ADT back to cancel service, of course, they told me I was going to a lesser system and very slow response times. Not true so far. Savings a ton of money on monitoring fees.

    The overall install and configuration of sensors was pretty easy and the instructions were clear. Sign-up for the service and setting the system to active was not as clear (in retrospect it was maybe TOO EASY). The sign-up process did not include the 14.99/month option and I was automatically signed up for the 24.99/month option. That is what I wanted, but if you didn't then that would be an issue. Use of the mobile (IOS version) application is straight-forward for turning the system on once you understand the options (Off, Home, Away). The application doesn't make it easy to monitor the temp sensor though. Also the mobile application could use some 'love' as it appears to have been an afterthought. The testing process was also odd and it was unclear if I was actually causing alarms to go to their call center or not. I ended up calling them and the woman I got was very helpful and walked me through some alarm scenario's and answered all my questions. Since then I have tested the mobile app to change the settings and to activate/inactivate the system. Also used the keypad to do the same. Tested all sensors and they worked fine. Will see how long the batteries last in all of them and the keypad. Haven't setup a camera yet as it requires a wi-fi connection. It would be nice if this entire system was cell driven and independent from your personal wi-fi network (even if that only offered low res camera). Overall I'm satisfied so far with the system.

    This is my second system purchased. I have found these systems to be reliable and easy to set up. There are plenty of add on components such as freeze sensor, fire/smoke detectors, separate siren, glass breakage detectors, etc. Monitoring is 24.99 per month; I have had a few triggers that I set off and the center immediately responded. The base unit has a battery backup. If internet is out the system will still contact monitoring facility if alarm is triggered. You can add an extra keypad without issue. The components have a clean, white modern look.

    Just what I was looking for the price, great quality and súper easy to install. If you’re looking to use it with Alexa you must pay for the monitoring plan, so it’s not complete true the advertising, that’s the reason of the 4 stars only. Everything else works perfect.

    We wanted a system that wasn’t too expensive and we could instill ourselves. This was so easy to set up and had just the right amount of equipment for what we wanted. Gives me peace of mind at night or when I’m home by myself. The alarm is loud enough we can hear it around the house but not so loud that we have a heart attack if it accidentally goes off.
