Title: So Far So Good
Review: Really happy with this system. We were customers for a company that offered phone, internet, cable and security and the rising costs over the years led us to look elsewhere. It got to the point where we were sticking with that company because we were paying one bill instead of 4-5. The logic.So we left, joined another company that covered everything but Security. My in laws recommended their Simplisafe system so I looked into it and ordered this kit. I figure I can handle a self install so shouldn't be too bad, and it wasn't.If you know even a little bit about how security systems work you can figure this out quite well, but what I really liked is that even after I planned out where all the sensors were going to go, the kit says to download the app before you even start installing anything. I went with it, and all the installation tips are in the app, step by step during setup and connection to the base station. I thought that was a nice touch, although my wife got annoyed at listening to the setup continually since there are voice prompts for every sensor added to the system. I found out after everything was done that the system stays in test mode for a couple days which I also thought was a good idea so I proceeded to set off each sensor. Two things I messed up; turns out the outdoor camera automatically defaults to broadcasting alarms. One of the neighbors came over and rang the doorbell and asked if we were ok. I supposed that feature would be handy in some circumstances but we don't need it so I turned it off. Thanks neighbors! Turns out I installed both motion sensors upside down too, but I installed them last and didn't really pay attention to the directions so that was on me. Neither one worked at all so I had to take them off and flip them over. No biggie but I thought it was funny. Once adjusted everything worked well, pet mode on the motion sensors works fine, neither of our cats set off the sensors, but as soon as any of us stood up or moved it picked us up.I chose the top end subscription and so far it's working better than the system we had before. I do miss having an extra mode called night mode on our old system that automatically set all the sensors to instant alarm, but I figured out how to get Home mode fairly close to that on all the doors but one. The app is very user friendly and intuitive once you figure out what you want to do and how to get there.I've since added on a doorbell cam, water sensor, another outdoor cam and an overhead door sensor to our system so I can monitor if the garage is open or not (I have an app driven opener but haven't figured out how to get it to send me push notifications if the door is open past a certain time). Adding the additional sensors has been just as easy at the initial setup.Overall after a few days I'd count myself as a fan. I didn't even mention how well boxed the kit was. My son noticed that the unboxing was sort of like an experience because of how well everything is grouped together and the order they'd like you to go for installation. That was nice too.

Title: Easy install and control
Review: Installed before out of country vacation set up monitoring and took the trip. Could monitor all the cameras on my phone from anywhere. The sensors work great, easy set up and installation, easy to add additional equipment everything was simple. Only downside was door bell cam was 2.4 gigs luckily I have a splitter for the smoker which also runs on 2.4 gigs so was able to connect it with that device.

Title: Easy to install and easy to manage with a phone
Review: As a single female, I was determined to buy a safety system that I could troubleshoot and install by myself and be able to easily arm and disarm. SimpliSafe is mostly intuitive to install. You require wifi for installation and to follow its steps. I love the easy use of its app and how easily I can arm it from my phone. 10/10 recommend to any boss lady who is looking for a simple peace of mind while protecting their new home.

Title: Feel safe all the time
Review: Before you go out and spend lots of money take time to look at SimpliSafe security system. It's easy to setup. You can monitor it yourself or have your home monitored by security. They are always will assist you in any way and can be contacted 24/7. If your power goes out, you are still monitored for up to 3 days. You can attach multiple cameras to it and easy to charge up if need. You can also attach the solar panels that way you do not have to worry about charging anything. They are good about sending alerts for updates or any problems they see. This is the best investment I have ever made.

Title: Simple and a great value
Review: The short version - a simple, effective alarm system. I highly recommend considering it.The longer version - This kit version doesn't come with a separate siren. The base station acts as a siren if you don't add one. I also purchased the doorbell, the door lock and water sensor as well as additional entry sensors. My large dog triggers the motion sensors. Support says you can mount them upside down and lower to try to avoid a false alarm but I haven't tried it yet. The door lock (ordered separately) was pretty obviously not new and it did not work properly. I contacted Simplisafe support and they couldn't get it to function either, so they sent out a new lock which worked perfectly. Adding additional sensors, etc. is a breeze with this system. This alarm system is capable of pretty much everything. You can tell a lot about a company by their support team. In my experience, they were excellent. They were knowledgeable, friendly and non-rushed. They had the tools to help without having to pass me off to multiple people. Kudos.

Title: Cost Effective Solution to Home Security
Review: The best decision we made this year was to switch to Simplisafe and this package offered a great deal for the money. The system was very easy to install and is self-intuitive. If we had any questions, they were quickly and completely answered by tech support. It was so easy to set up and add devices -- to date, we have actually added more devices to our system. The keypad was very easy to operate and worked seamlessly. We decided to purchase an additional keypad so we'll have one close to every entrance/exit. We also decided to add a smoke detector and water sensors so Simplisafe can monitor us for burglary, panic, fire and water. It was also easy to subscribe to one of their three monitoring plans. To top it off, there is no contract required, you can change plans or quit the plan anytime you like. Lastly, the phone app is very useful -- you can monitor what's happening at your house while you are away and you can turn the system on and off using the phone app. Our only regret is we didn't switch to Simplisafe earlier.

Customers say

Customers like the ease of setup and value for money of the security system. They mention it's simple, effective, and self-intuitive. Some are happy with the alarm functionality and security. However, some dislike the wifi connectivity. Opinions differ on the functionality, outdoor camera quality, and motion detection.
