Great features and easy install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This security system has been great for our use. It was easy to install and we love the option of a camera. While it is not the top of the line security system it has many great features that allow us to feel more secure when we leave our house.

Disappointed ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now I have your attention. Yes, I AM disappointed, in the fact I did not buy this first. The ease of installation was mind blowing. It took ¼ of the time to install this ,compared to my other system. The camera picture is insane, and the ease of use to set it up was so appreciated. I have the 7 piece system with 2 cameras. This is your one stop shop for security, it comes with everything you need, including a stellar customer service department. The only negative I may be concerned with is the battery life on my cameras. They haven't been tested long enough, but so far, I still have a full charge, & it has been a week. I dont feel i have any other original pics, just the keypad, ect..but they look as if they did on the site.

Very Simple and Quick Set Up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SimpliSafe has addressed a lot of problems that has prevented us from getting a security system in the past. First, it's insanely quick and painless to set up with the app; I'd say even someone technologically challenged could do it with no issues. And if you don't like installing extra apps, you can complete setup using the keypad (though the app is a little more fluid). I think I had all devices connected and set up in under 30 minutes. Second (and most important for me) is that NO wiring or electrical is needed to install. Each item is powered by batteries, and camera batteries can be taken out and recharged once low. We have an old 1960 house with very limited electrical capabilities and access. Adding power for cameras or a whole system would be a huge undertaking, if not impossible. To further simplify installation: if you don't want to use tools and screws to install, just use the command strips included! Perfect for rentals or apartments (camera mounts do need to be installed with the screws however). Design of all items (and even the packaging) is sleek, modern, and simplistic. They won't be an eyesore in your home. I have been using my system without a monitoring subscription and have been happy with the range of functionality without it, though subscriptions are only month to month, which makes it easy to add or remove as your needs change. I can view live feed of my cameras any time I want, and there is two way communication available through the camera. I get notifications to my phone when the cameras detect movement (btw the camera's video quality and range of view seem great to me, not being a camera expert by any means) but the only shortcoming is that there is absolutely no recording option without a subscription. The camera holds no footage, so you can only ever view live feed. I know there are at least a couple of brands that do allow a few hours of recorded footage before deleting it from the cloud. This would be the only complaint I have, and the only con that might lead me to look at other brands. Other than that, the ease and simplicity of set up/installation makes this a more accessible product than your traditional security systems that require a professional installer. No need for electricity provides more flexibility in where you can place certain items that might otherwise be tricky. With a monitoring service this system has just about everything you could want. Without, you lack the ability to record video (it's only downfall, IMO). Overall, a fantastic 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.

Best Security Camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Simplisafe Outdoor Security System for about a month. Each component is of the highest quality with fantastic resolution. The best feature aside from safety is the simplicity of the setup. My family and I are 100% pleased and no longer peek through our blinds to see who is at our front door. Last week a delivery service left someone else's groceries at my front door and because of my new outdoor camera, I was able to catch the driver in time ensuring that the food was then delivered to the correct address. I highly recommend this security camera to both business and residential home owners.

Great security system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is durable and made to last. The instructions included were easy to understand an allowed a smooth setup process. This version seemed very economical compared to similar quality security alternatives. I would trust this brand for future security related products.

Safe and Secure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am more than pleased with The Simplisafe Outdoor Security System. I can be on the other side of town and see who is near my home. I love the reliable assistance of the camera. Knowing that my house is secure whether I'm home or away is very comforting. I never have to worry about down wifi as there is a back up. This company has thought of everything! I'm planning to add on to this system as there are many different features available. There is even a sensor for water. I don't have to concern myself with the worry that perhaps my hot water tank is failing. The water sensor will let me know. I honestly don't know what I did before getting this product. It's amazing!!

Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to be able to try a Simplisafe Security System package becuase we were looking at purchasing one anyway. This system is mostly focused on outdoor monitoring. The two outdoor cameras work very well. The images are fairly easy to see. My two biggest complaints are (1) that you have to wait a bit for the cameras to start up when you open the camera to view and (2) that you basically have to purchase Simplisafe's monitoring plan in order to view any footage other than when you open the camera to view live footage. I do really like that there are a lot of ways to customize your Simplisafe system to each home's and homeowner's needs. That being said, all those customizations can add up. Overall, we are happy to have this system and do plan to add additional sensors to our system.

simple enough

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the system and setup isn't too complicated at all. The plans are comparable to other systems with protection and monitoring. I like the mobility of the wireless cameras but I don't love the idea of recharging them once it's time. They need to be out of reach to avoid someone disabling, so maybe their best use is for indoors as opposed to out. Overall seems to be a good system.
