SimpliSafe 8 Piece Wireless Home Security System - Optional 24/7 Professional Monitoring - No Contract - Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant , White

It was a pain to cancel and not easy to set up. Would NOT recommend this product

Great security system

One of the best home investments I’ve made! I’ve had it activated like three times buy mistake and the company always calls right away to check if everything is ok. They even sent out the police who arrived in like 5 minutes to my house to check everything. Even the sheriff called me directly. We are very happy with this product and service and greatly appreciate it. We had read reviews that they were in top position and gotta say that im impressed. Don’t hesitate to invest your money in this system its worth every penny!

I am not good with technology at all but this was so easy to install Literally took me thirty min to put around my house

This is our first time using a home security system and Im glad we picked SimpliSafe. It was very easy to install. I installed all the pieces in less than 30 minutes. I used the app and it walked me through every part. I love that the entry sensors give you the option to screw into the wall/door or use a 3M tape (provided) since some of my doors have molding that prevented the 3M tape from sticking. So far it works like a charm and gives you 72 hours of practice mode after youve installed. Thank goodness b/c I would forget I put the house in Home mode over night.

Best security system out there. Easy to install and set up your account online in minutes

Having a REAL PROBLEM getting an alarm certificate downloaded - major malfunction requiring major investments in time on the phone talking endlessly to customer support. They say it can’t be done. Have to have a windows pc or send it to your Ins co.

We started with 1st gen several years ago and last year updated to the new model. We feel good that it is doing what it’s supposed to do. Contract monitoring is extremely fast to call when we have trip an alarm or smoke detector goes off. We only had one unknown false alarm over the years from a motion detector. Could have been a bug but we’ll never know. Most alarms focus on contact sensors on windows although the normal burglar would just break the window. SimpliSafe allows you to customize your setup. We chose glass breakage sensors over contacts and have had no false sound alarms. We pay $15 per month for monitoring. Big name company we dropped was charging us over $45 per month. Overall, very satisfied!

I like the ease of installation. Simple set up and the fact you can add more sensors to the system. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Ordered my kit from the SimpliSafe website and been using it 3 months (including when traveling over the holidays), and I’m mostly happy. I’d recommend ordering through their website rather than Amazon because: you can include the exact sensors you need, there’s additional sensors not available here, and they often have additional promotions. I went with SimpliSafe over other DIY security systems on the market for a few reasons. The base station can run off battery a decent amount of time, and it has a cellular connection so it works if Wi-Fi/internet is down. Can be setup completely with the keypad without needing to connect to Wi-Fi or use app; I like the idea that it’s more secure the more offline it is (but then you lose app functionality). When an alarm is triggered, you receive a call and can give your safe-word to have them ignore it instead of reporting it (the app will also have a notification and you can disable it quickly to avoid the call). And, it’s not affiliated with a company that already has too much data on me (I’m looking at you, Ring). Setup is about as simple as can be. Motion and entry sensors can be mounted with either screws or easy-to-remove sticky tape (I’d imagine this is true for all the mountable sensors). They claim the motion sensors are tuned to ignore smaller pets, but I had issues with false alarms. Despite following their recommendations of placing the sensors 6+ feet off the ground, ensuring animals cannot climb near them, etc. My two 5-6 kg cats kept triggering them and I had to switch the sensors to “low” sensitivity. I highly recommend testing your setup by staying near your phone and home a few weeks so you can cancel and check any false alarms as your pets go through all possible routines. Other minor annoyances. Some of the sensors take unusual batteries: CR2032 and CR123A. Not a deal breaker, but it would have been nice if everything could use rechargeable AA/AAA batteries. Also, the system defaults to their most expensive monitoring and you have to call them to change it (the app only lets you switch up to more expensive monitoring, not down to cheaper). I called to change mine to the cheaper monitoring and they said it would switch at the end of the free trial month. It didn’t and I had to call them again… Update 2022/4/17: System is working better. Got a call from one of their technicians about the motion sensor issues. Got additional suggestion to ensure sunlight coming in windows also isn’t in sensor view. Once you take all the caveats into account- pets, windows, sunlight, vents, etc.- there aren’t many places left to put them. They just increased the lowest-price plan from $14.99 to $17.99 a month- a 20% bump. No rhyme or reason; the (mostly automated) 24/7 monitoring wouldn’t result in significant wage overhead. Nor are supply chain woes or material costs relevant since the sensors are sold separately. Nope, this looks like a good old-fashioned cash grab because they know their customers are unlikely to replace their entire security system. Update 2022/11/17: Ugh… motion sensors are getting triggered again even though nothing significant has changed. If you have pets of any size just don’t bother with motion sensors.
