SimpliSafe Home Security System | 7 Piece Home Security Camera & Alarm System with Entry & Motion Sensor - Optional Monitoring Subscription - Compatible with Alexa

Excellent product, lots of add one available. Took less than 20 mins to install basics. But... Pick your service package from the start, for me upgrading caused glitches. Staff sorted it and were incredibly helpful and technically sound. Also cameras a bit harder, needs a smartphone app, and be sure to have them near the base station to pair with system before installing, and definitely check for software updates before installing them. If you do these then they are quite impressive. You need a good WiFi signal and you will need to charge the internal outdoor batteries for about 8 hours. Night vision and sensors for movement really decent. We have 4 cats and they have not set off the ir sensors at all yet, but watch the settings and placement, the instructions are clear and sensible. Handy chime when alarm off to announce protected doors etc being opened, internal camera has privacy shutter for "at home" setting. Lots of optional plug ins, including smoke alarm, water leak and temperature sensors and panic buttons. If twinned with full service package the security staff can (with your consent) check the cameras, spot the problem and direct correct emergency services having confirmed real incident. Also nice to be able to check cameras from the app, and get alerts of motion etc to check complete with video clips. Had a laugh at a helpful Amazon delivery driver who left parcels in the waterproof cat house pod in the garden and clearly found the cat "pod" highly amusing.

I'm very happy with system easy to install and affordable

Fantastic system that’s very easy to install, no issues with battery life after 6 months. Very easy to connect and no loss of connection. Alarm triggers consistently with motion / door openings. Makes my family feel very safe.

This seems like a really decent bit of kit with lots of things included and meets our needs well. It was so easy to set up and everything seems to be working really well up to now. It really does seem like a great product and we are pleased we got it (so far!) However, there are SO MANY hidden costs and I don’t think these are set out very clearly at all. The basic plan is pretty much useless to anyone who is buying this so you need to get the premium one but then you also will be liable for additional costs if a guard is called out and need to call to opt out of this. I guess that most systems have these subscription fees etc but they just aren’t all that clear and I do think it preys on people’s insecurities and lifestyles a bit by making the features you actually need part of the premium subscription.

It’s a great system, easy to setup but it’s constantly disconnecting from the wifi then connecting back. This keeps happening every five minutes at times and is frustrating with the notifications on my phone. Took the month free with the top package of £25 but personally I don’t recommend it. Nothing wrong with my internet. If I could return for a refund I would. UPDATE I’m only 12 days into my free month and have been charged £25!! Absolute shocking service.
