Great bundle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This security system bundle came with everything I needed to set up on my own. Easy to follow instructions, easy setup, great quality viewing. This has replaced my original system I was paying way more for a monthly monitoring for.

Safe at Home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so happy to have this security system for our home, not only to feel safe while I'm home but also while I am away. The outdoor cameras give a clear imagine to make sure anyone would be caught stealing or breaking into my home. Also love that this security system came with door/window sensors to know when they are opened, not only good for break ins but great to know when kids are opening windows/doors. Only wish this came with more door sensors but luckily they are able to be purchased separately :)

Easy Set up; great video

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was pretty straightforward to set up. If you are setting up the cameras, you need to charge the batteries before you can do anything. Setting up an account and downloading the app was seamless. Setting up the base station was no issue. Our house is pretty big but isn't "open concept" so we have 2 different wifi's in the house, and then a third outside to cover our large yard. I initially had trouble setting up the outdoor cameras because I thought they needed to be connected to the same wifi as the base station. When I tried to set them up and take them outside the house to their designated locations they would disconnect from the house wifi (hence why we have a different wifi outside). So I connected the cameras to the outside wifi and the base is connected to an inside wifi and there are no issues. If your home wifi doesn't reach where your cameras will be placed or you don't have designated wifi outside you will have issues. I was also stupidly selecting "motion" from the icons during set up when I should've gone to "cameras" in the bottom tray. I pulled the tabs out of the batteries for the cameras but now I'm wondering if I saw that when I was erroneously following set up for motion detectors. So I'm not sure if that was correct or not or whether we will have issues getting those batteries out to charge them. My husband thinks the tabs were to easily remove the batteries. So I may have messed that up. Once I figured all that out the cameras set up quickly and easily. My husband had no trouble mounting them and while the magnet that holds them in place is strong, it is also easy to place and remove the cameras. The picture is fantastic on the cameras in daylight and very good in the dark, however we have never used any sort of security or doorbell cameras prior to this so I really have nothing to compare to. I don't notice any real lag from the camera feed. Without any paid subscription service I get real time alerts on my phone when there is motion detected and can see real time from the cameras on the app. Not sure how long the batteries will last on a full charge - I may buy 2 more so there is no downtime during charging. So far, we're pleased with this system.

Easy install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SimpliSafe security was basically what we needed for home security, it was very easy to setup and install with proper instructions. It depends upon what plan you choose but it cameras monitors all motion and record activity that can be viewed later and all the motion sensors on windows works as expected.

Easy to Install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Straight out of the box, this system is ready to go! It was easy to configure and I appreciate the weight of the keypad - it feels sturdy. The outdoor camera runs circles around other systems I've tried. I waited a few months to review because I wanted to see how it held up during the crazy weather we get here in the south. The cameras have been through tornadic weather, freezing temps and even an ice storm.

Easy to Install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Simplisafe security system is the easiest thing I have ever installed in my house. All you do is stick the sensors and cameras up on the wall or door/window, and link everything to the base station. I had been avoiding getting a security system due to the hassle, but with small kids in the house it has become increasingly important that we get one. Simplisafe wasn't intimidating or difficult to install at all, and so far the system is easy and intuitive to use each day.

Got eyes outside!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked how easy this system was to set up. The door sensors had a sticky side where I could just stick them on and make sure they worked before I screwed them in! The camera mounts are awesome because after you put the mounts up, the camera attaches magnetically so you can easily change positions without removing the whole thing. The picture quality is great. I love that I don't have to peek through my blinds to see who is at my front door. Overall, I am very happy with this system and how I can monitor what is going on outside of my home 24/7

Loving the cameras!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally was able to get this installed since we were on vacation when it was delivered. How I wish we had it before we left! The cameras are awesome with such clear pictures. And the wide angle view allows me to see so much. Installation and set up were quite easy. The monthly charge for recording video is very reasonable. The only thing I can't comment on is battery life. The camera is set to high resolution and alert, so I'm hoping that doesn't drain it too quickly. Time will tell! In the meantime, I'm loving this system.

High Quality Security System

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup was pretty easy and straightforward with the app walkthrough. The cameras itself were pretty sharp even at night everything is in crisp clear view. The camera's range is quite far and picks up on the smallest of motions then sends a notification almost instantly. Sometimes it can even be a bit TOO sensitive. I did have some issues with the wifi cutting in and out, however, this was also an issue with my last system as well so not sure if I'm just in a bad area for connection or what. I haven't played around with any of the add-ons just yet but Simplisafe does offer features such as detecting smoke, carbon monoxide, motion sensors, and much more. For the high quality picture and reliability for the most part I have to say I'm impressed and I now understand why many customers hype this security system and company. I will continue to use this for now as I'm still going through a learning curve but can vouch for how well this exceeded my expectations.
