I Feel Simply Safe
Purchasing Simply Safe Security System from Best Buy was one of many best decisions I made. The system was affordable and I was able to choose the equipment that I needed from the numbers of sensors camera door locks outside camera as well. Setting up the equipment was easy including setting up the service with @SimplySafe . I’m pleased with the App features. I feel Simply Safe . at home and when I’m away. AngelaPickering

Great purchase
I needed a security system for our new place. I wanted something affordable and could do the work. Initially I was not planning on the subscription but I ended up activating it. This particular package has everything you need for a starter kit and you can pick up additional sensors based on your needs. These are very easy to set up and the outdoor camera lasts long (i havent charged it since installing and we have it on best quality). The indoor cam is ok in terms of quality and ability to detect motion.

Easy Set Up, Amazing Value
I've been with Simplisafe for almost 10 years now. During that time, I've had little to no issues with any of their equipment or their customer service. They are, simply put, the best home security company out there. My first alarm was from a nationally known name brand, and cost an outrageous amount of money each month while not being as reliable as Simplisafe has been. I feel very fortunate that I heard about Simplisafe all those years ago on the radio, because I have been a loyal customer ever since. The home security system reviewed here is an outstanding value. You get a base station, an indoor camera, three entry sensors, a motion detector, a keypad, and an outdoor camera. All for only $350. If you price things out individually, whether through SImplisafe or other competitors, there is no way you can reach the value that this package provides. And it just works. As someone who has had a Simplisafe system in their home, I can attest to how easy these are to set up and utilize. Since I already had a Simplisafe system, and I was looking to add on to it, this package is perfect. Want a second keypad to mount somewhere else in the house? You can use the existing keypad to add a second no problem. Want to add additional entry sensors, cameras, and motion sensors? You can add the sensors in the keypad and then add the cameras via the app. I installed the outdoor camera just off of my front door. It is aimed at my cars in the driveway and catches the front of the garage. I have it tucked up under the eves of the house where it does not get direct sunlight. This outdoor camera is completely wireless, which means it has a rechargeable battery that you have to pull out on occasion and charge. It has a motion detector on it that kicks it on for a brief period when it senses motion. It records and provides that information to you. I have had it installed for several days now, and the charge of the battery is the same as it was when I installed it. I did have some challenges getting it to talk to my router, and I had to reboot my extender to get it to work properly, but the video is 1080P and looks fantastic. The camera can be fastened to stucco with the included inserts and screws, the camera holder snaps into place, and in an ingenious design, the camera itself attaches magnetically. That way it can be easily removed to charge the battery. Kudos to Simplisafe!!! I was able to add all the other components without any issue, using the keypad and following the instructions. I now have two keypads, three motion sensors, and entry sensors on just about every part of the house we are in. The sense of safety and security is well worth the pittance paid to have a quality system like Simplisafe in the house. I also want to mention that Simplisafe, for those who might be unfamiliar, offers several different plans for monitoring. Since you are buying the system outright, there is no monthly contract. Simplisafe doesn't have anything that says you have to pay tons of money a month for three years to pay off some overpriced equipment like other competitors. If you choose, you can simply monitor the system yourself. You don't pay Simplisafe anything, and you just turn things on and leave. The only bummer about that, though, is if your alarm goes off, you are the only one who is going to respond. Then there is Standard Monitoring, at 14.99 a month. With this plan, Simplisafe monitors your sensors and dispatches emergency personnel if needed. They'll also give you a call if something gets triggered. The Interactive Monitoring plan, offered at 24.99 a month is the Cadillac of the plans. It gives you real time and on demand video feeds from the cameras at your house, provides video verification of a break in (something that is often necessary for the Police to dispatch to your house if the alarm is triggered) and many more items. I've had the Interactive Monitoring plan for nearly 10 years, and I haven't had one single issue with Simplisafe during that time. They have called to verify system tests, they have called when the alarm was accidentally set off (even called once to tell me the cat had set the alarm off), and they haven't had any downtime that I can remember. Everything just works. Hopefully this review has helped! I am a satisfied Simplisafe customer. Their products are reasonable in cost, high in value, and extremely reliable. The SimpliSafe - Home Security System with Outdoor Camera is an amazing product at an amazing price.
