    Security is an ever-present danger to all home and apartment dwellers. SimpliSafe makes it easy to project your living space quickly and provide feedback to you in real time. Best of all, if you need to move, its also easy to take the system with you. A very good purchase for my family.

    Good system for the money. Now and then the loggers lose connection, or the battery runs out. At that point you have to remove them from the sytem and then reinstall them. Kind of annoying, but overall, and good system for the price.

      Hi there. You shouldn't need to remove any components from the system. If they ever run out of battery power, you would just replace that battery and it should reconnect all by itself.

      That is, unless the issue is actually with connectivity (which shows up as a general "error" message). Our Support team at 800-548-9508 can help you through resolving that. SimpliSafe

    So far I'm having a good time with my simplisafe system. I chose this based on reviews and overall acclaim this system has. My only cons are the double sided tape is barely sticky so I would reccomend you actually screw the items in or you attach a more construction grade tape. Overall, the package and setup are really nice and it was very easy to install.

    This is a great security system, it is very simple and easy to set up! Comes with choices of screws or 3mm tape to put up the sensors. The keypad was relatively easy to set up and connect to thesensors and home base. It lights up at night when it senses your hand on it ithout even pressing te actual button. You can have multiple passcodes. The alarm sound is very loud and you can change the volme on that. You can change the duration of time befor the alarm itself will go off which is nice if the keypad is not placed right near your door. It tells you if a door was left open, and you can set it to make a noise everytime a door is opened.

    It works, but the technology is dated and Simplisafe doesn't offer many accessories, like cameras, that work well. I purchased the door lock and a few other items - they all died within 18 months, it was a total waste of money.

    I love this system. It unboxes and feels high-end, however the camera options are lacking. The doorbell only comes with a wired option (which didn’t work for my house), and the indoor camera is black and white 780p. Other companies offer more well integrated camera options with better resolutions but didn’t win my trust with their security systems. SimpliSafe was easy to install (I have 23 entry sensors between my lower level doors and windows, 3 glass break sensors, 2 motion detectors, 3 sirens, and 3 key fobs for my family (slick design with arm/disarm and panic button). It’s not ideal, but I’m using this system with the Ring 3 Plus wireless doorbell and a Ring floodlight stick up cam. Ring and are not my favorite but I wanted a well priced option that offered monitoring. Hope this helps.

    The Simplisafe base station, keypad and sensors all install very easily. The written instructions are well-illustrated, clear and straightforward, and the base station voice prompts provide helpful feedback. The use of Command-like removable adhesive on the backing plates is much appreciated. Although many reviews mention this as a disadvantage, I would argue that the relative lack of integration into smart/connected home systems is actually a good thing - it keeps the interface simple and easy to comprehend and navigate, and (hopefully) reduces exposure to inevitable remote/online attacks. Such attacks are honestly more of a concern than the lack of encryption in the base station/sensor communication in the previous-generation Simplisafe system (but which is supposed to have been fixed in the newer systems).

    Review on Installation

    Just got this yesterday, so I cannot review about the operational quality. But wanted to write a review after previously buying a Ring Security System-it was difficult to set up unlike the easy demo videos showing it without glitches. I encountered glitches with the base station not being recognized in most of the rooms of my home until I tried a 3rd room. Afterwhich I struggled with the contact sensors -unable to install them b/c the QR code was not recognized by scan nor by manually inputting the numbers. So frustrated-returned the Ring. Next day, I went to Best Buy and purchased the Simplisafe system-OMG! Installation was a dream! Took only a few minutes-spent more time marking and using the level to position the keypad! Love it! Works beautifully! The engineers who designed this system made it so easy-the installation is operated not by your phone/app like the Ring but by the keypad which directs you through each step.

    The system is easy to setup. You just attach the device and the remote walks you through naming the location etc. I wanted to avoid a contract because it is only needed for 4 months. It's a great value and they do contact you quickly if the alarm sounds.

    Installation we very easy. Took about 2 hours for roughly 15 doors and windows. Accidentally triggered the alarm a couple of times. The siren isn't very loud. Considering adding the secondary alarm unit; but that's minor. Saving $30/month using this instead of ADT. :)

    After looking at various home security options, decided to give SimpliSafe a try. I liked the facts that everything is customizable and you don’t have to sign a contract for monitoring. Was able to install and configure myself in a few minutes. Tested and seems working fine so far. Will try to add a few more sensors soon.

    This was as advertised. It is super easy to set up and works great! It is also portable should you move. In addition, it is easy to add multiple cameras as well as additional window and door sensors. The online app which lets you monitor the cameras works great! Highly recommend this product.
