SimpliSafe - Shield Home Security System - White

This model is an excellent product. I feel very secure in my home, it was very easy to install. I love how the system automatically checks daily to ensure all sensors are functioning. If there is a malfunction, I receive a notification through the phone app and the homebase announces a warning notification. The remote is an added benefit. Love it...

The set up was easy and I can control settings through the app as well

This product is a great idea; but a few problems. Some them/some me. The motion detectors pick up my medium sized dog (and cat when he lived here). Because of this I can’t use the alarm when I’m gone. Was told to install them upside down - but that didn’t work either... the adhesive strips to hold up sensors can be iffy & I’ve had a sensor and a motion sensor fall down/be removed by lifting a blind. As far as me? Some of the problems are myself, as I have pieces of gear I haven’t installed yet due to lack (ugh) of knowledge & my helpful son moving out. Wish I could get a tech out here (like with ADT), but that isn’t offered - to my knowledge. Overall, a great idea — when it works. As far as myself, meed to get the system (motion sensors) issues figured out/then add my new gear. Sad face here. :-(

Just switched from ADT to simplisafe and couldn't be happier!!

In the world we live in today every house should have a simplisafe security system and it's easy to install.

Great system and easy to set up. Love the features and the key fob.

Awesome alarm and simple to install. I only have two minor issues. 1 - the system should be able to verbally tell you what door opens as most systems. 2 - they should be a little more transparent about the 2 different monitoring plans. You have to have the interactive plan to have full control of your system remotely. Other than that I love the system.

This is the perfect system for renters, short-term owners, or anyone who can’t afford or doesn’t want the hassle of a hard-wired, fully-installed system. It’s obvious that great care was taken in the packaging of this system. The instruction book is straightforward, & all the components are fully charged & ready for operation. Setup is extremely easy, simple & fast. It took all of 30 minutes to install the sensors & set up the base station. No tools are required. All components are attached by pre-installed adhesives—just unpeel & stick. The keypad guides you through each step of the fairly short process. Deciding where best to install the sensors takes the most time. Pros: - Easy install/setup/operation - Low maintenance. All components list long battery life. - Ability to easily add components (cameras, sensors, detectors, panic buttons, sirens) - Built in WiFi & Cell connection - Base Station includes rechargeable backup battery good for 24 hours - Pleasant voice prompts advise of alarm status when appropriate - Portable for moving/re-installation - Beautiful design & modern look - No contract for active monitoring Cons: - Although the Base Station has a 95dB siren, it’s not really loud enough to get the attention of neighbors as an installed system would. Therefore, the Active Alarm Monitoring (~$15/mo.) is needed or additional sirens should be installed near an attic vent. - No instant-on option. If a sensor is triggered, the alarm sound is always on a 30-second delay to allow time to turn it off. But an instant-on option would be useful for nightly use when you’re home & safely in bed. Otherwise, an intruder would have a 30-second advantage before the alarm sounded.
