They promptly shipped the system and the communication was good. It was incredibly easy to install and the instructions online as well as the keychain were clear. My two complaints are 1) the sensors look somewhat dated and 2) the keypad is not backlit so when you come home at night it is difficult to see what code you're typing in unless you turn a light on. My two complaints above are small and we are very happy with the system. It was so much less expensive than the big box alarm companies and does the same job. We've recommended Simplisafe to friends and will continue to do so.

Hello [member name removed], Thank you for posting your review! You can lower the sensitivity of the motion sensor through a switch located in the battery compartment of each motion sensor. We'd be happy to help you with this. Please just give us a call!

We did the installation-no problem. Very straightforward. The problem came when we were trying to activate the service. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the base unit. There was a procedure to fix the issue but it was unavailable until the technical staff came in on Monday morning.

I've been using ADT for years and my monitoring rate has gradually increased to over $50 per month. I saw the Big Deal to buy the system outright at $200, and pay $20 monthly for monitoring with notifications. I ordered the system and it was delivered promptly. It is self-set up, but that was a breeze because it's all wireless. My monthly savings will pay for the system in under one year. I'm very happy. The only comment I would make is that they include a freeze sensor in the package and they would not allow me to swap that out for a different sensor I needed - I've purchased 3 additional sensors. Living in south Florida, I have no use for a freeze sensor - and would have appreciated them being willing to swap for something else.

Thank you for posting your review! I'm glad to hear that you're happy with your system. Unfortunately, we are not able to switch items out of set packages, such as the one from Angie's List. We would be happy to help you find the best use of that sensor in your house. Just give us a call and we'd be happy to discuss it with you!

Haven't had a chance yet to install the system - will follow up on that. However I will say they were extremely responsive when I accidentally purchased two of the systems. They picked up on it immediately and contacted me about it, understanding it was likely a mistake. Great customer service and a prompt refund. Looking forward to getting it set up and dealing with them further.

I love this system and HIGHLY recommend it! We have used ADT and Bay Alarm in the past but got frustrated with contracts, high monthly costs and equipment problems. We tried Simplisafe because the install was non-invasive and there were no contract commitments. I was very skeptical but couldn't be happier with this system. It is extremely easy to install, easy to use and inexpensive. My three children are all able to use the system without a problem which makes us all feel more safe. .

The initial set up wasn't that easy, trying to get them on the phone. But so far the system works. I'm kind of letting it go a month before I add anything to it. But just getting them on the phone in the beginning was not user friendly but I got over that. Nobody ever showed up. I just got them on the phone and just that was a challenge. I did the installation myself. Their price was fair and they must bill my credit card every month but I think I did the $19.99 a month. They are just hard to get on the phone sometimes. But other than that everything is ok. I'd like them to do a little better on responsiveness. Its early, I'd still like to see what the longevity of the system is.
Description of Work: I bought their basic package that was advertised on Angie's List but I called and added another key fob and a motion sensor and a door opener. I had more openings and places to cover than the original package would cover. I'm just seeing how things work and if I like it for a month before I add some more of the options that they offer like smoke detector and things like that.

The system is mailed out and it is a wireless self installation. It works great and was easy to install. I haven't had any problems with it. They sent out 2 control panels, 4 entry sensors (for windows & doors), & 1 motion sensor, so if you want more sensor, you have to buy extras.

Give them an F, it doesn't work. I just wasted my money on that. I hired someone to come over here. I asked them if they would come out and they said, "well, you're calling the wrong number" and they never returned any of my calls and I emailed them. I paid someone to come over and put it together and he said to throw it away. I will not use that company again. I paid the guy that came over here $150 to set it up and he charged me $100 and said don't bother. I don't buy much from Angie's List anymore because I haven't had that quite an experience. SimpliSafe Home Security never returned my call and they should have. I would have grade their price fine but since it doesn't work, I just wasted $199.

The information given before our purchase did NOT mention that Simplisafe is not a first Responder. Since Milwaukee requires a First Responder, we had to return the system. The company was very nice to deal with, responsive, and prompt in all our dealings with them.
Description of Work: We ordered an alarm system thru Angies List. Because we live in the City of Milwaukee, the police will not respond to an alarm directly. If you use the SimpliSafe system , it would call the police directly. Therefore we would have had to get a "First Responder" in addition to the alarm system. We were not able to hire a First Responder. There were none who would work with an individual (they are hired by alarm companies directly). So we had to return the alarm. We returned the alarm within the 60 day trial period and we are waiting for Angie's List to send the refund.
