They appreciate the flexibility of the system, allowing them to expand it as needed, and the reliability it offers.

    Simplisafe is relatively easy to install will guided instructions in print and through the keypad. The adhesive on the sensors is fair, and in many cases the sensor will dislodge. Command strips or a similar product will keep the sensors in place. Operation from the keypad is very straightforward and there is a limited amount of preset customization allowed entry/exit alarms. The system will NOT work with home automation systems unless you purchase the premiere subscription model. Overall, it is a reasonable system for very basic home security.

    This is my ninth year using SimpliSafe. This purchase was to upgrade the sensors and station technology. SF is always reliable and efficient. Monitoring service and customer service is top notch. Do it yourself installation is extremely easy. I recommend it 100%.

    I replaced my ADT system with SimpliSafe and saved substantially on monthly charges. The system was very easy to install. Anyone can do it. It's not technical at all. But, that doesn't mean that it lacks security. I now have the same amount of protection my ADT system provided for a lot less.

    Double sided tape was weak. Use screws to mount control panel or it will fall off the wall. Other than that, easy to set up and price beats other systems. Would recommend and buy again.

    Super easy to setup and very easy to expand your security needs as they grow. I bought this and setup for a family member and everything was a breeze...very straight forward to install. I don't miss the days of ADT coming to your house drilling holes, running wires, and making a mess of your home to lock you into an expensive contract for years and still charge you for the system. The only reason I don't give it five stars is they updated their firmware a little while back that now gives an annoying "No link to dispatch" warning (audible and visual) if you don't subscribe to their monthly monitoring. That wasn't part of the system before and shouldn't be part of it now. Other than that it's a great product.

    Great, quick-start security system! It was easy to install, my only negative feedback was that the motion sensor adhesive wasn't great, so I had to figure out a better way to get it into position.

    This system from top to bottom is easy to install and works. I've unintentionally tested this when my folks came by my house and accidentally set off the system. Simplisafe called my direct # and confirmed a system alert within seconds of it going off. A second time it alerted was when I was testing the system to ensure everything worked after a glitch. Once again Simplisafe called within seconds of my system giving off alerts to them about a system test to ensure it was actually me testing it. I read up on this system before buying it and chose it over the Ring security system because there is a tamper alert on their sensors, base, and the actual keypad. Theres also a back up it runs on if the power goes off. You can choose to activate the actual monitoring system or not and monitor things on your own, which is genius giving the user the choice.

    I’m very impressed with this system! First of all, it was easy to install, although it took longer than mere minutes, mostly because I needed to clean the surfaces where I planned to adhere the sensors. Once that was done, setup progressed quickly. I made a mistake while installing the HD camera, so I called customer service, and the agent was very friendly, patient, and extremely helpful. The mistake was clearly my fault, not the fault of the instructions, yet the agent never got impatient. She patiently got me back on the right track and gave me the confidence I needed to finish the setup. The view from the camera is amazing—definitely HD quality. I feel like I got a great system for the price!

    This system was very easy to install. It was easy to install in an apartment which was highly surprising. The app is very easy to use and supper simple. The sensors are easy to relocate and no need to drill which makes it ideal for those who move "homes" often or travel a lot. I can see this being set up in a dorm room. The motion detector is not super great but it does work. If you buy this product you should test the motion sensor and really see what the best location would be. I always felt that the higher the motion sensor the most efficient but it did not prove to be the case for this sensor so if no pets I recommend 4.5 feet high

    Love the system. Easy installation, and very easy to add more devices. Love the 24 hour monitoring, with the app letting me view in real time as well as arm or disarm from anywhere. And can't beat the price especially with no contract.
