It has been great so far, and better than I expected. Everything was easy to connect and install. I would recommend buying the 3 sirens in addition, as the base station is not loud enough to alert your house or the neighbours, i recommend placing one indoors and the other 2 at the front and back of the house depending on how big your house is... I am pleased with the purchase and recommend it to anyone.

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!

I initially ordered a different $50 alarm system from Amazon. It would only alert you if the alarm was triggered, not if any of the doors were opened in safe mode. I returned that unit & started doing research on SimpliSafe.I decided to spend the extra money during Prime Day & purchases the SimpliSafe Unit. All of the units were extremely easy to set up and connect! I am so impressed & happy with my decision. I haven’t had any issues with connectivity/wifi. The app is extremely intuitive and easy to use. The sensors were easy to apply to doors & windows - it makes a pleasant sound when a sensor is triggered during home mode. I feel extremely safe in my home! Thank you SimpliSafe!So glad that I decided to spend the extra money to purchase this SimpliSafe unit!

It says 'works with Alexa' but that skill is banned in Canada.The machine needs a free 4G modem upgrade but SimpliSafe does not deliver to Canada.The product was used and came WITH A MASTER CODE ALREADY INSTALLED but the code was not included. After about 6000 tries I got the code.I apparently cannot buy any extra sensors or a replacement keypad in Canada as again Simplisafe doesn't ship here and nobody else seems to sell them here.All I want is to use Alexa to arm this, and yet my Amazon account is Canadian so the skill is locked. Even though they sell the kits here new and used.Do NOT buy.

Just got this. Easy to instal and very easy setup. The quality of the system is above average. I didn’t expect this quality. Originally had a blink system that worked ok but this is much better.

Got this kit because it fits my house perfectly. Took about 20 minutes to unbox and install everything. Very easy. Sensors fit on all my doors, even the odd double french sliders. Very easy to configure to work with Google Home too.

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).

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.

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.
