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

I recently set up the SimpliSafe 8 Piece Wireless Home Security System, and I’m thoroughly impressed with how well it delivers on ease of use, functionality, and design. As someone who is very tech-savvy, I found the setup process to be a breeze. However, what truly stands out is how straightforward it is—even for those who may not be as comfortable with technology. Pros: 1. Easy Setup: From unboxing to full operation, the setup process took me less than an hour. The step-by-step instructions are clear, and the system practically guides you through the installation process. This would be perfect for anyone, regardless of their tech skills. 2. Seamless Operation: The wireless sensors are reliable and responsive, and the base station ensures you’re always updated with audio alerts and notifications. It’s clear SimpliSafe designed this system with user experience in mind. 3. Customizability: You can easily add more sensors or components as needed to tailor the system to your home. 4. Design: The modern, minimalist design of the components allows them to blend seamlessly into your home décor. 5. Optional Monitoring: Although I don’t use the 24/7 professional monitoring, it’s a great option for those who want extra peace of mind. Even without it, the system functions flawlessly as a standalone setup. Cons: 1. Limited Integration: While the system is excellent on its own, the integration with other smart home platforms (like Alexa or Google Assistant) feels a bit limited compared to other systems. 2. Price of Add-Ons: Expanding the system can get pricey, especially if you want to add cameras or other advanced components. 3. Basic App Features Without Monitoring: The app works well for alerts and customization, but some features seem locked behind the subscription plan, which might frustrate those using it without professional monitoring. Final Thoughts: Despite a few minor drawbacks, the SimpliSafe 8 Piece Wireless Home Security System is an outstanding choice for home security. Its combination of simplicity, reliability, and flexibility makes it a top-notch product for both tech-savvy users and those new to smart home systems. Nothing is perfect, but this system comes very close. Five stars!

Saw this at a neighbors and they were saying how wonderful it was. We bought it and yes feel so much safer with it. Easy to install and easy to run. Alarm goes off and I get a message instantly with a text and a email. I had a question and I called and they were able to help me over the phone. Perfect customer service I love how the keypad can just set on the desk.

Very good system for the price.

I have been using ADT, Honeywell and Simon systems for over 30-years, but I wanted to replace my current system with one that was Wi-Fi/Internet connected for easier remote monitoring and access. The system I was using was all wireless, but it utilized older wireless technology so I wanted to upgrade to modern wireless technology. Pricing out a newer Honeywell type system was going to cost upwards of a $1,000.00 so I shopped around and wanted to try SimpliSafe. I have installed the SimpliSafe system and here is what I have found. SimpliSafe is very easy to setup and I wrote the sensors names on a small piece of tape affixed to each sensor so I could configure them all at the same time, at the base, and then go around and install the sensors afterwards. I used the provided sticky tape for the initial sensor mounting and then followed-up up by drilling and screwing in each sensor-mounting base. My old alarm system would allow up to 8-user codes so I could have a code for everyone to include visitors. SimpliSafe allows a maximum of 4-users codes. SimpliSafe states you have 5-codes, but one of those codes is the Master code and you should only use that code to cancel alarms or make system changes. My wife and I share a user code and the three kids have their own codes. My old alarm system has Entry Chime and it announces the name of the door sensor as it opens so you know if someone just opened a door, like the garage door. SimpliSafe has a setting for Entry Sensor Chime, but it does not announce which sensor was activated. If you have ten door/window sensors installed, you need to open SimpliSafe app and view the Device Settings to see if the sensor is still open as the SimpliSafe alarm does not log activity when the system is set to “Off.” When my old alarm was triggered, the alarm panel would announce which sensor caused the alarm. When the SimpliSafe system is armed, if someone opens and closes a door, you need to open the app to know which sensor caused the alarm. It would be nice if the SimpliSafe app had a setting for collecting all sensor activity with settings to exclude sensors from the log, like the motion sensors, even when the system is set to Off. Other alarm systems have exterior door/gate sensors, but SimpliSafe does not have any exterior door sensors at this time. I was able to find a small plastic project box that fit the SimpliSafe door sensors. Just remove the sensor slide-on mount and the door sensor fits perfectly. I have some room at one end of the box for placing some desiccant packs if I find any moisture build up in the project boxes. Now, I can monitor my gates. Here is the information on the size of the project boxes: Project Boxes ABS Plastic Electrical Project Case Power Junction Box Black 2.40 x 1.41 x 0.98 inch (61 x 36 x 25 mm).

I bought the SimpliSafe 8-Piece Wireless Home Security System for my apartment a month ago, and it’s fantastic! It was super easy to install, the sensors work perfectly, and I feel so much safer. Reliable, simple to use, and perfect for apartment living.

Moved. Needed an an alarm system. Can set for away or at home. Has an easy to use app. Definitely recommend. No wires

Very easy to set up and operate. The thing I like about the system is that you can use any number of senses on doors walls etc and put them wherever you want. The only problem I had was downloading the APP as I live in Australia and had a region problem as the APP was only available in the US. Very happy so far.

This is probably the only system that you do not need subscription to work. We live in Canada and they do not support - alerts are sent to only me which is not an issue. And we do not have cameras which would require a subscription for full usefulness. Setting up door and water sensors and motion detectors is straight forward although I had an issue in that I set up at our house, to test out, and then moved to our seasonal cabin. For the life of me, could NOT change WiFi network and searching internet did not help. NOTE: you can change in SETTINGS on the keypad but you MUST enter the MASTER password. I was using the codes I programmed for entry, which do not let you into settings. I had forgotten that I had a MASTER password. After that, setup was so EASY. Each device pairs with a simple push of the SYNC button. The motion sensors stick up with tape, but I added small screw for stability. Similarly with out patio doors and the sensors. Everything has been working for weeks. Compared to old style alarm system requiring engineering degree to set up, this was a breeze.

Literalmente simplemente sacas las piezas de las cajas, retiras la protección de las baterías y listo... Diseño super intuitivo, todo se sujeta con adhesivos (o con tornillos opcionalmente). El monitoreo, bueno, sin monitoreo no tienes acceso ni a la App ni al website y por ende tampoco recibes notificaciones en caso de activarse, pero funciona a modo local y se presume que es suficiente para espantar a los rateros o por lo menos alertar a los vecinos quienes te llamarán para que calles la chicharra, ja ja.

Works as intended been a year since purchase, no problems

Absolutely trash. The base station has troubles connecting to wifi after reinstalling. Constantly. It requires you to unscrew the device to take out the batteries for a manual reset. Those two problems compound upon each other. The pad lets you put in wifi manually, however it forgets when you press check for updates. It then forgets again when you put in the wifi details again causing loops of headaches.
