SimpliSafe 12 Piece Wireless Home Security System w/HD Camera - Optional 24/7 Professional Monitoring - No Contract - Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, White

I felt the system was easy to setup and get running. The only items which weren't covered during the setup experience were the adjustments to motion sensors and selection of a monitoring plan.The motion sensors needed to be opened and adjusted during my install. Without the adjustment, the motion sensors appeared to not work. It was a simple change, just not mentioned in the setup wizard.The selection of a monitoring plan could be improved. You didn't get to choose which plan you wanted, nor was there any explanation of the different monitoring choices.I purchased the SimpliSafe solution to displace a Brink's System which required a long term contract and high monthly fees to work at all. I can blame myself for this, but I "thought" the SimpliSafe System was "fully" functional even without monitoring, but that's not entirely correct. If you choose no monitoring, it will still generate alarms and notify you, but the camera video storage is only accessible IF you have monitoring ... just like Ring products (only live viewing). If the video storage is important to you, then you'll need a monitoring subscription.Lastly, the base station is equipped with a SIM(module) and the base I received was pre-configured for Verizon. It just so happens in the rural area where I installed my system, Verizon coverage was insufficient and there's nothing in the App or on the base station which indicates that Cellular Backup isn't functional. Also, if you want to change to another carrier, they can accommodate that - but you have to disassemble your base station and remove/install a new LTE module ... not just a SIM. A sim slot behind a cover would have probably been more effective (or even better a global roaming SIM).All in all, great product, feels solid in your hands, the App is excellent, and the siren I added was shockingly loud. Only thing left for me to learn is the battery life. Since my system is installed in a vacation home, I suspect the lack of device event triggers will help the batteries last quite a long time.

So simple to install and use. I set one up in a friend’s house today and I liked it so much. I just bought the same system for myself that I’ll set up in my house on Wednesday.

Good so far , you may want Operator assistance for fee

THE POSITIVES: The system is easy to setup and telephone support was very patient and knowledgeable! Definitely a good investment for do-it-yourself at a reason price and no contracts! Monitoring fees are reasonable. Ultimately, the real test is if there is an intrusion or issue, are the authorities notified immediately by SimpliSafe? Hopefully we don’t have an occurrence whereby the authorities will need to be notified. THE NEGATIVES: If you have a large space, one base may not work for you. Simplisafe states up to 99 devices can be installed on one base. Thankfully, we only installed 25 devices which seems to work fine. According to Simplisafe, if more than one base is setup, there is a separate monitoring fee for each base. The base volume is adjustable but for our needs, we like a fairly loud volume; however, the Simplisafe base volume could be improved.

This is my 2nd system & I got it at 1/2 price!It is so easy to install & the most affordable security system I've ever had! If your home has a lot of doors & windows, it is very easy to add to the system at a reasonable price. The fob is great option if you are renting or have kids.The only issue we have is we can't use the away mode because our two 90lb pitbulls set off the alarm as they move around. This may not be an issue if your dogs are smaller. Camera is crystal clear!
