Well, I went ahead and purchased the Simplisafe system since they were promoted on Angie's list at the time with a special Angie's list discount price of $199.99. What I received was the wireless base station, keypad, keychain remote control, one door sensor, one motion sensor. My experience with this system has been far from satisfactory! I am so disappointed in this system! My 11 pound cat sets off the alarm every night regardless of how we change it! We've tried "upside down" per the instructions as a last resort option and it still doesn't work! What I want to know is, WHY do they get away with advertising that their motion sensor works with pets under 30 lbs when it clearly does NOT?!?!!! Also, they advertise that no contract is necessary, yet their system constantly advertises "WARNING! NO LINK TO DISPATCH CENTER!" when one doesn't elect to pay for monthly monitoring?! This clearly makes their product useless without the monthly monitoring service in that they are informing the burglars that their is no monitoring! I bought this security system because it was on angieslist, so now MUST share the TRUTH about their false advertising! I tried to leave a review on their website, but they don't make it easy for just anyone to review their system! How dishonest are they that they only post positive reviews?!?! There is no way that I'm the only one experiencing this! I put the previous two paragraphs in an email a couple of hours ago and have not heard back yet. I expect to hear back from them
Description of Work: I asked about video and they said that they were working on building cameras but would not give me a date or guarantee that I would not have to upgrade my system to work with the new cameras. My city, Modesto, does not have a large police force to be able to work with false alarms. Therefore, they only respond to alarms that have video or second party confirmation of a break in. Consequently, I did not purchase the monthly monitoring service.

Hello [member name removed], Thank you for posting your review. If you're having difficulty with your system, we're always happy to help. Our motion sensors are pet friendly, however, it does depend on how they're installed (i.e. how close the cat can get, etc). We would be happy to help you troubleshoot and find the best place for your sensor so it will work well and protect your house with your cat. In regard to the "No Link to Dispatcher" message, we can create a download for you that will disable this message if you're not intending to use the monitoring service. Just send us an email or give us a phone call with your base station serial number. I'm glad to hear that you're interested in our cameras. As soon as we have a release date, we can certainly let you know. Please let us know if there's ever anything we can help you out with or if you have any questions. We're here to help and make sure the system works as you need it to!

She received the system through the mail. She installed the unit on her own. It did fall off the wall one time, but that may have just been because it may have been installed improperly. So far, everything has worked out fine.

We ordered the system and it was mailed to us. It was mailed promptly. We installed it, but but they gave us support when we called with questions. They provided fantastic customer support! We love it. It’s a great system and it’s very economical because there is no contact and the fees each month to maintain it are low. Companies like ADT are moreexpensive. I’m so glad I purchased it.

The materials arrived on time and were easy to install, however, several of the window alarms did not work. I left two messages (never got to speak to a real person) and then received voice mail messages the next day. I never did connect and some of the window alarms still don't work. That said, I think the system idea is good and bought the same system for my son when his home was broken into.

I bought a complete home security system. In the middle of a move I misplaced the box they mailed me. Thinking it had not been delivered I called to inquire why I had not received it. They informed me it had been delivered per Fedex. They asked me to check one last time and offered to mail me a new system if I was unable to locate the package or work something out with Fedex. Fortunately I found the box when I got home. I was glad I did not have to have them send a new package. I was very impressed with their responsiveness and offer to replace the system. Hard to find that kind of service these days.

They had pretty good customer service. I had a sensor that fell off in the middle of the night and they called to follow up. We had some issues in the beginning and they helped walk us through that. This system was a self install and I did buy a couple more sensors from them 2 weeks later. I purchsed this system to replace an older system.
