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

$25.00 a month to deal with rude company. No thank you

I keep getting these these for gift for my family. Its easy to install, no contract, easy set up in the app and it just make me feel better knowing they have this extra protection. Love love love.

Easy to install. Works well without need for a subscription. Exactly what I needed to know when my doors open.

I purchased the indoor video camera, door lock, video doorbell, and main station at Best Buy. I have high speed ( 900mps) WiFi with boosters around house for very solid signals. Video camera #1 defective and would not set up. A replacement was sent and didnt work at all. The 3rd replacement was not tried as I returned the system. Video doorbell had great video and you could hear outside conversation but responding audio didnt work. Support said its a known issue. Replacement doorbell #1 didnt work at all. Replacement #2 had same audio issue. when you respond to conversation it was totally garbled. The base station required an upgrade and was sent. but they said I had to join monitoring to get the new download to connect. Using the free trial it connected but nothing else improved. Day 58 of my 60-day return option saw the system returned. The smart lock did work and I really liked it plus it was an excellent value. Too bad nothing else worked. 100% of customer service people were nice and helpful but quality control is their main issue. I could not risk keeping past the refund period. I have used Ring at a friends home and it worked great. Thought this could be a lower cost, more complete option.

Not good fir my windows

If you buy this product from anyone other than directly from the manufacturer, they will not honor any sort of warranty. I bought mine on a sale before. I actually needed one because it was a good deal. By the time I set it up, I was just passed any return date through Amazon. Initially everything was fine but very soon after I noticed issues with the base station, and issues with the alarm being set to off on its own even though I had armed it. The last issue was when the alarm suddenly went off at 3:00 a.m. Im looking at my phone to see whats going on, confused and scared, and it isnt telling me anything so I call 911. A few minutes later while speaking with the dispatcher the SimpliSafe app lets me know that the panic alarm is what was set off. The panic alarm was sitting on my desk. In a closed room. With no one and nothing inside of it. It just went off by itself, somehow the base station detected that it was set off. Off. Too many issues with reliability and also coupled with the fact that the cellular protection that this company touts will also often disconnect from the base station leaving you with zero protection if your internet isnt working. When I called the company to talk to them about the issues, I was explicitly told that because I bought it on Amazon I would have to just deal with Amazon for a return. Return. Im sorry but the fact that they wont even warranty their products that are sold on Amazon, when they definitely need Amazon as their platform for sales, just shows me what a scumbag company this is. And I wish I never wasted the money.

Did some research and SimpliSafe had the best prices for monitored home security. I purchased the DIY kit here on Amazon. There are several to choose from. I Installed it on a Saturday afternoon in a couple of hours. It was a breeze. Just downloaded the app and follow the directions. Simple! In all seriousness when you get a home security system, you are going to pay for the equipment one way or another. The biggest difference for me was the monthly charge for their home monitoring service and I didn’t have to take off a day of work for a installation appointment. Saved money all the way around. So far the system and monitoring works as expected and I am extremely happy with the purchase and service.

I had the previous generation Simplisafe and I was pretty happy with it, except for the bulky look of all the components. That has been thoroughly addressed in this new generation. Everything looks much nicer and feels much more modern. Setup is a breeze and it truly does give you @home security without requiring monitoring. That said, times have changed. The home security market is getting pretty flooded now and you dont have to pay an arm and a leg to ADT anymore. Simplisafe feels like it has all the sensors you could need and offers a good price for full monitoring. However, you dont get ANY meaningful smart home or smart phone integration out of the box. if you really want to have any kind of actual visibility into your home security when you are away from home, you are going to really pay for it. You dont even get smart phone app integration without paying extra for it and you cant even pay for the app integration without first paying for monitoring. If they even had a super cheap app integration without monitoring (say $5.95 / month), it would be much more attractive for true DIY without the full expense of monitoring. Without that, I think there are other systems out there like Abode which are much more attractive due to their smart home integration capabilities. Bottom line, if you intend to pay for monitoring and want a wide array of sensors, this is a good pick. If you want smart phone or other smart home device integration without full monitoring, look elsewhere.

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

Simplisafe is an affordable, easy to install security system. No obnoxious sales marketing tactics. No hard wiring needed. Monitoring works with or without wifi. Working fine with just their cell signal. Took me about 15 minutes to set up the basic package. We have had a few false alarms due to our own forgetting we had the system and they called right away, even to check on us after we disarmed the system. Was a much more affordable deal than its two competitors R & V. I actually canceled V after getting conflicting, confusing text messages and practically no phone support; their installer came and tried to upsell me more product. The Simplisafe equipment looks great and is super easy to install. My only wish is that they would make an alarm detector of existing smoke alarms-as we have eight hardwired and I dont feel like replacing them. I highly recommend this system.
