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

The cameras are terrible, especially the door camera. Extremely poor quality they’re always off-line. I had to buy two other camera systems for the outside of my house for outdoor cameras because I can’t trust their’s. I’ve called her Tech Support countless times and all Monitoring system good, camera system terribleI get is try this try that all the same stuff I’ve been trying. It’s not my Wi-Fi. I have the best router... I pay for the most expensive data pal . The issue is their cameras are terrible. If cameras are important to you I would get another system.

One morning, with the alarm still on, I accendently opened a window after waking up, when I opened the bedroom door and went into the living room I could hear a very weak sound coming from the alarm. My wife slept right thru it. We later called Simply Safe Tech Support and found out that was as loud as it would go, so then they tried to sell us a louder alarm for $60. Why do they have such a weak alarm sound that wont even wake up someone sleeping only 12 feet away from the alarm. The weak alarm wouldnt deter an intruder. We should have bought ADT.

It was so easy to install and operate. Have it on my ph and I love it. Wish Id had it years before.

This system was extremely easy to install and setup. Monitoring works great! App is amazing!

Simplisafe was the easiest thing i have ever had to do and being a nontech person I am thankful for that. The cost was so minimal compared to my past security setup. Any one who visits has to see my new security system (with exception of course).

This is a fantastic easy to setup wireless home security option. PROS: * Our house wasn’t pre-wired for a security system, so this was a perfect solution. * love the fact system and alarm can be used with or without monitoring, given the reviews that say the monitoring isn’t the best * super easy to set up each sensor and then edit it if necessary * entry sensors work very well with about 2in of error, which came in very handy with our think moldings * really like the key pad, it’s mobilty, and ability to change many settings CONS: * Motion sensor is horrible! This is why I gave it 4 stars not 5. I had to search many FAQs and reviews to find there is a sensitivity switch on the sensor itself behind the stick on wall plate. Unfortunately that didn’t help much even after turning it up to high. On high It only senses about 3-4ft out, even after “warming up” If they fix the motion sensor problem. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Love this security system it’s everything they advertised and then some, especially love cameras that you can buy a kit to use them outdoors. Awesome product.

Great value

Works great so far, have another system that works perfect!!

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.
