Waste of money - security and surveillance

Works for a few weeks and then does. If you want a reliable system, DON'T GET THIS! You have to take it apart to reset it and MAYBE it will work a little longer.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Zero

My home is protected.

Simplisafe is very easy to set up. My son assembled it in 20 minutes. It works great and has a good clear picture, easy to turn on and off. The only thing I was disappointed about was that it didn't work with my phone. I have an old Android smartphone. It connected perfectly to my son's new Android phone and to my sister-in-law's iPhone. It's good that you live with me. I think I need to buy a new cell phone.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

App can't be used without monitoring

So it's a very cool easy to install system. I really didn't want 24/7 monitoring, so that seemed like a good fit for me. The problem that brought me back is that without surveillance you can't even use the app on your phone to arm or disarm. This means that it is a glorified, very expensive doorbell. There are way better doorbells out there for way less money, sorry for the simplicity but they just weren't cool on the subject. If I could arm, disarm and control my phone I would keep it.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • No power

SimpliSafe: discover what you buy!

After installing the SimpliSafe system, I noticed that no emergency services were dispatched unless an emergency was confirmed. Unless you have purchased a system with a camera or microphone for listening in, there is no way to search for an emergency without additional cost. Also, their monitoring service ($25/month) is required for you to connect to your system through their app or your smartphone. Thus, the system is useless when you are not at home. I should have researched more about thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

In love with this system

I am in love with this system. It was so easy to set up. Everything was set up and installed in just 30 minutes. We upgraded to live monitoring for $24.99 per month, but live monitoring is also available for $14.95, or you can choose not to use live monitoring. For our needs, we preferred the $24.99 monitor, so we went with that, but it's far from a requirement. The hub has a battery backup option and cellular backup. So if someone tries to hack it, if the power goes out or your lines are cutโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Somewhat wrinkled

Be sure to test the system with Wi-Fi disabled

This security system is amazing, so why should I give it 1 star? It has some pretty cool hardware, it's very easy to set up and use, and the monitoring service is top notch (called me for every test I took and called the police when my husband turned off the alarm). The reason for the 1 star rating is so hopefully someone who buys this system knows to always turn off Wi-Fi when running system tests. The mobile network of my system failed and since my WLAN was there as a "backup" I didn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Reliability

I think this company should be more transparent and not cover their descriptions with marketing hype. That makes her suspicious. First, it's not really "24/7 alarm tracking without a contract". You NEED their contract to get 24/7 alarm monitoring. Without a contract, all you get is a loud alarm in your home, with no 24/7 surveillance. Now I don't expect something like that for nothing, but that's how I first interpreted it. OK, no contract with your company, but maybe I could still get Wi-Fiโ€ฆ

Pros
  • trigger alarm. Innovative packet signaling technology powerful enough to reach homes of all sizes with a range of up to 300 meters - no extension cord required.
Cons
  • Socket Required

Terrible system with misleading advertising and no privacy

This system (and the older versions still sold at other Revain stores) are terrible in a number of ways: surveillance in your house) to unnamed third parties. When these small third-party companies with limited data security tools are compromised, SimpliSafe can simply avoid liability by claiming it's not their fault. I don't want a security company whose business model is to decline responsibility only for the security of personal information.2. The app for the system costs $120 a year andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The panic button will instantly set off an alarm and quickly call the police - with the ability to silently panic when discreetly calling for help.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

I installed this system in a 3,600 sqm building. feet to test it. I have not used the monitoring service and do not intend to use it, so I have no comments on this feature. Here are my observations: GOOD - Easy to install. I installed a professional wireless alarm system and for those who need an engineering degree to understand. Simplisafe is as easy as it needs to be for any average non-technical homeowner. There are text and voice instructions to guide you through simple procedures. -- Easyโ€ฆ
