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

Works for a couple weeks then does this. If you need a reliable system DON’T GET THIS ONE ! You have to take it apart to reset it and MAYBE it’ll work for a little while longer

I like the system, BUT you have to buy a subscription if you want to get a warning if not in the house. So I bought Xiaomi cameras also for about $20 each which work great and send warnings to your mobile/cell phone... So does my Canary stand alone system buy the way. Hence 2 stars otherwise Id give 4stars

i feel safe with simplisafe its a great 100 times better than my old security system thanks simplisafe and thanks to amazon for selling it to me great price great service

I have had a SimpliSafe home security system for over 10 years now, and have upgraded to the new system (featured here). I am *completely* satisfied with their system, including the very responsive monitoring service. When I first moved into my home, I had an ADT system installed. Their technician drilled holes in my walls in several places which are now unsightly knotholes, and ran wires all over the inside of the walls. Their service was overpriced and under-performed. The SimpliSafe system, in contrast, was a snap to install even for me, whos not very handy with tools. In fact, there are few items that really require tools at all, mostly a screwdriver and at most a hand drill for a starter hole for screws. Most of the sensors have 3M Commander strips that attach easily with no tools at all. The system communicates to the sensors by radio, and the base connects both by wi-fi and, if the wi-fi is down, by its own cell connection. Theres no need for wiring. Setup of new sensors is very easy using their secure website. The monitoring service is very responsive. For instance, the other day the smoke alarm was set off. SimpliSafe was on the phone within a few seconds of it going off to check to see if we were OK and if they needed to call for help. Their top-of-the-line monitoring service costs $24.95 a month -- half that of ADT and far superior. Its well worth the investment for having peace of mind and excellent service. SimpliSafe has extra items that are worth considering: video cameras, a video/audio doorbell, smoke and CO2 detectors, temperature and water detectors, a glass-breaking detector, and (my favorite) a smart door lock. The door lock allows you to remotely lock your door and set the alarm using a key fob, the main key pad, or the SimpliSafe app on your cell phone. Its really convenient, and the phone app lets you check to see if your door is locked (and adjust the system status) from anywhere. The door lock comes with a keypad that you can use outside (attached to the door or even in a nearby shed) that will let you open the door and disengage the alarm. That door lock has changed how we lock our house and is much more convenient than using a key. I can open the door while still in my car with my hands full of groceries. I highly recommend adding that to your order. But the system as a whole is great. This starter kit will get you on your way to a more secure home. I recommend the SimpliSafe home security system without hesitation.

We should not have to go thr a lot to order batteries. Serivce should streamline updates and batteries to power devices. Some entry access sensors stopped detecting/working, so I had to order to replace. Also, customer serivce, has been slow from the start. Still waiting on how to hook up WIFI camera.

This system is extremely easy to install and very user friendly. It is also modular which provides a lot of flexibility to add on as you like. Overall a great system to provide security and peace of mind for your home.

If you opt for this system, be prepared to pay a minimum of $15/month for a monitoring service. After years of paying, I decided to just use it as a standalone alarm system. Big mistake. Now, the base station constantly flashes and loudly reminds to sign up for the service. Basically, the system is rendered useless. The next step is to pitch it in the trash.

Much simpler than I originaaly thought. Im not an electrician or a techy so when I saw all these peices I got overwhelmed. Took me a few weeks to get the courage to attempt set up. That it turns out was an unwarranted fear. I have not set up the monitoring but did test the alarm and it was loud enough to catch my neighbors attention in the bldg I liver in. Fact is from moment i began set up to end took less than 30 minutes and I suspect could have taken even less. I do intend to check out the online monitoring eventually.

Save your money. This system is garbage. The “app” is overpriced, and the doorbell camera almost never works and conveniently loses video constantly. My third sensor has malfunctioned and SimpliSafe is no help. I’m not paying $45 for new sensors that will probably break again. Honestly this whole thing is a total ripoff. It’s almost embarrassing to use.

Great product but the adhesive only works the way it should on dry wall which is not the same as door trim.
