1 SimpliSafe Review- Is this A Good Security System? What is best home security system? It is of course, the one that provides the highest level of safety possible. However, the best security system for you personally would also be one that presents a great compromise between your needs and your budget. If you re looking for an affordable and effective security system, we recommend the DIY Wireless Alarm System by SimpliSafe. SimpliSafe is a multifunctional home security system with numerous features. It is highly comprehensive and easy to use at the same time. SimpliSafe offers contract-free, customizable packages that can meet your specific safety needs. Although it doesn t have a hi-tech look, SimpliSafe offers much more than meets the eye. It provides protection which is effective and easy to use at the same time. Why is SimpliSafe the best home security system? Wireless technology SimpliSafe is a wireless system designed to function flawlessly when the power goes off. Each of the sensors runs on batteries that will last for years. The base station needs to be plugged in, but it has a battery backup that keeps it running for up to four days. There is a wireless keypad for arming and disarming the system. It allows you to access some of the basic system settings by entering a master code. You can also add up to four guest codes that allow for arming and disarming the system, but do not give access to the settings.

2 24/7 live monitoring Live monitoring is something that most DIY systems don t offer. SimpliSafe is different than most DIY security systems though, and it has a simple and practical solution. If your SimpliSafe alarm gets triggered by something, a dispatcher will try to call you and ask you to say the safe word. If you do not give the correct safe word or don t answer at all, the dispatcher will notify the police. Mobile access SimpliSafe wireless security systems use a mobile uplink to communicate with the monitoring center. Depending on the monitoring package that you choose, you can get text and alerts whenever the system detects anything suspicious. You can also arm, disarm and change the settings of your system via your smartphone. Total customization You can customize your SimpliSafe security system with a variety of features and choose from a few different monitoring packages. The packages are priced from $ to $ The monitoring is optional, so you won t have to pay for the service if you just need a regular security system. A great variety of sensors

3 Depending on the package you choose, you will get a different set of sensors, but you can add additional ones without increasing your monthly fee. One SimpliSafe station can manage up to 41 sensors. When you get Starter Package, you get the base station together with an entry sensor, a motion detector, keychain remote and a wireless keypad. The entry sensor is a magnetic device made up of two parts. It triggers the alarm whenever the magnet separates from the sensor. Other SimpliSafe packages include a panic siren, a dedicated panic button, a smoke detector, and a glass break sensor. Some packages even include a wireless leak detector, a freeze detector and a carbon monoxide detector to monitor the temperature in your home. It s interesting to note that the SimpliSafe smoke detector can alert the fire department if there is a fire in your home while you are away. Apart from beeping like regular smoke detectors, this one will trigger the alarm, alert a dispatcher and send you a notification via SMS or . Affordable prices Prices are one more thing that sets SimpliSafe apart from the competition. You can get effective home security at great prices and upgrade your package whenever you want additional features.

For example, an additional SimpliSafe entry sensor will cost you $14.99, which is much less than $24.99 with Viper Home or ismartalarm, or $29.99 with Oplink. With SimpliSafe an additional wireless water sensor will cost you only $19.99 and an additional wireless freeze sensor only $ Smart options We consider SimpliSafe one of the best home security systems because it brings some very smart solutions to problems that make other security systems vulnerable. If an intruder tries to force you to disable the alarm, you can enter a previously programmed Duress Code. It will make the sirens stop and give a false impression that the system is off, but it will still notify the police. Many security systems can be disabled if a burglar smashes the keypad. With SimpliSafe, the keypad is not the base of the system. The brain of the system is put into a base station which is hidden away somewhere around your home. When the

5 alarm gets triggered, this base station alerts the monitoring service while staying quiet. There s no contract SimpliSafe is a flexible and simple solution for your best home security.
