SimpliSafe - Protect Home Security System - White

SimpliSafe was founded in 2006 by Harvard Business School student Chad Laurans because his friends had break-ins, but couldn’t find a security company that was designed to help renters. OK so I own a house with over 4,000 square feet and am not a renter but it works perfectly. Moreover, they say it can be installed in an hour and I did it in 59 minutes with 4 door sensors and a monition sensor. Finally, I bought Simplisafe for my wife as a Christmas present and when the unit went on sale Best Buy they refunded me $54.00. You will love how easy this unit installs the seamless, integration with the internet to access the professional monitoring and the people at Best Buy who are there to answer questions.

So this system is super easy to install, No hard Instructions. When my alarm pad kept going through a lot of batteries I contacted the company then sent a new one out free of charge. It’s a great Security system.the company is great. I love that it’s a great price for a security system

Husband wanted this for Christmas and was very happy - so easy to install. I called customer service just for some questions - very professional and knowledgeable. Only negative is it has an app to work with, but cant use app if you do not purchase their monitoring package. Annoyed by that as their commercials and website lead you to believe otherwise.

My house was broken into about a month prior to purchasing this system. I was going on vacation for a week and wanted to make sure my house and contents were protected. Procrastinator that I am, I waited until the day before my trip to buy the system. Turns out that was plenty of time! I was able to get the system installed on 4 doors, the motion sensor placed, and the key pad installed in less than an hour. 15 minutes later, after registering with SimpliSafe, I had the system tested and up and running. The monitoring packages are either bare bones or for about $10 more per month, you get mobile notifications and the ability to control your system via smartphone from anywhere. The system has given me comfort when I am away from home because I know that if anyone tried to break into my home, they are in for a very rude surprise. I definitely recommend this system because of its ease of SELF INSTALLATION, low cost, and no-contract low cost monitoring.

The system is easy to setup the first time. The keypad and sensors mount use the supplied double sided tape. The base station has a strong wireless signal (its own SSID) as it is able to monitor my shed which is about 50 feet away. The base station communicates with SimpliSafe using their cellular network. I had my base station go out recently and I was sent a replacement at no charge as long as I return the bad one using their prepaid shipping label. Great customer service! My system came with a large key FOB and after carrying it around in my pants pockets, the end cap would come off and get lost. After going through two of these, I decided not to use it. The new systems come with a smaller FOB. With the phone app, you can monitor the system remotely and even turn the alarm on and off even when you are not close by. With the optional camera, you can watch the live video feed from it.

I wish I could describe how easy this is to set up. I'm neither tech savvy or handy but within an hour, just like the TV commercials. I had this unit set up. This is the second system I've personally handled, which is being used at my parents' new house. I did run across an error, which I later learned was my own error, but SimpliSafe customer service walked me through my issue and helped me get to the end result I needed. My parents are enjoying their SimpliSafe, feel it's easier to use than the hard-installed system at their previous house, and couldn't be happier with their sense of security at home.

It exceeded my expectation. The setup was easy and the monthly is exactly what is advertised. The expandability of individual sensors is the attractive point about this system. All added pieces are relatively inexpensive. The mobile alerts are sometimes delayed and probably due to the cell phone carrier. The engineers should look into upgrades that can be done by the owner via the USB key chain. The system should adapt to new threats as they arise. However, for basic protection, it is the best deal out there although no camera systems are available.

Bought for 90 year old mother who lives in the country with no internet or smartphone. System works great for her. Easy to use once setup. Setup and installation was easy. System did not boot up correctly the first time and had to call for tech support. They walked us through rebooting and system connected immediately to their network. The great think about this system is you need no landline or cell connection to make it work. There is a cell connection built into the base station for the system and it uses the T-Mobile or Verizon system. There is no additional charge for the cell connection. Monitoring is $14.99 a month for basic and $24.99 for advanced. The difference being with the advanced you can do stuff through a smart phone app. Overall very pleased with how this system works and costs.
