Easy to set up - no wiring needed
Comment from : BLAZEMAN CHANNEL

I had the original system when it first came out It worked great! I just updated it with the new version like before I installed it myself I had a few glitches but the support people helped a lot We needed to update the firmware So far so good!

THANKS !! I was considering this system until I watched this video !!

Any updates?

After several attempts with tech, paying simplisafe monthly fee, down does not work and they will not call courteous customer back Going to toss into garbage and pay for professional installation with professional cameras Do not waste your money on simplisafe
Comment from : Cliff Johnson

This is the kind of review I like to see, thanks!
Comment from : SkywalkerOne

great info video, would like to have had some idea as to how much it all cost, I know this goes out of date but ball park costings would be ideal…

When away you want the warning time at ZERO The time control is at your fingertips To know what to do if you are having a problem setting it call customer service and have them walk you through how to do this yourself
Comment from : Enjoy Life Be Happy

I would add that we have sensors on everything We recommend motion sensors located at each entry to enhance the initial alarm of any potential break in By the way as a customer, we have control in setting the condition on the sensors regarding alarm

We have had SS for some time There isn't any security system that is 100 percent protection There are pros and cons period However, a security system is but one level of security that provides that extra layer of security The system is an initial warning and deterrent, not and never will be absolute Any system is an improvement We prefer SS over the others our choice and we are very happy with their response time and service They are great people to work with and the system is very easy to set up, and control The customer has in one sense of the word total control in time, place, and extent of security with SS As do most services of products have an occasional negative with communications regarding ordering, but you will find this with basically all companies Any time you have a host of employees you have some communication issues because that involves personality, comprehension, listening and understanding from both parties For us the very few negatives are not game changers because SS has always made it right Thanks, SS, for your excellent service and support

I just purchased a Simplisafe system last week Customer service was fantastic I was going to have professionally installed on my rental properties for $125 When it actually came time to install it was $125 PLUS 65 per camerainsane!!!
Comment from : Peeves

Have you tested using solar panels for the outdoor cams? Maybe Wasserstein (spelling?)brbrAt the moment I have 2 outdoor nest cams with that brand and they work awesome 👍 13 ft charge cord too And they aren't in 100 full sunlightbrbrAlso with the outdoor cam, do you experience any 5-10 second delays from when motion is detected to when it records?brbrI'm getting ready to move and condidering Simplisafe
Comment from : Robert Rose

I have door triggers on all my doors and windows including both garages I also put sirens in both garages and three inside the house not including the bass station the Cameras working really as well Ive never had any issues with the system not working Great set up for the money

At this point, I'm not at all impressed by SimpliSafe We ordered a complete system almost two weeks ago, with three day shipping We explained why we need the system this month and CS assured my wife and I it would arrive on time Fast forward and after two calls to CS, promised actions, and still the system still hasn't even shipped CS is in the Philippines and operates by sending email to the "warehouse" in Boston It makes me wonder if this is a "virtual company" with some people answering phones from around the globe, a small office in the US, and a subcontracted warehouse to trans-ship their products from China I suspect monitoring operates the same way
Comment from : Steve Pernetti

I was wondering how much is it a month?
Comment from : Tuurischeva Green

Simplisafe customer service is very sketchy I ordered a system and wanted something sooner than the 5-7 days my order was supposed to arrive so called Simplisafe and cancelled They assured me it was cancelled and that they had issued a credit to my card Next day, I got an email saying my system had shipped after they told me they don't ship on holidays and mine wouldn't ship for 2 days after the holiday Weird So, I logged into my account and they had my order listed as a monitoring account Weird I called them and they confirmed that my order was cancelled and the shipped system was going to be intercepted and returned to them I should see the credit to my card within a day or two The next day, I received my system from FedEx Weird Meanwhile I had ordered a Ring system and set it up smooth as can be Very easy set up But I realized that due to special pricing and free camera, Simplisafe would be the better deal When the Simplisafe system arrived, I went ahead and installed it The install was glitchy at the start Had to reconfigure my router to 24ghz Simplisafe won't work on 5g Went online to look up a couple things and actually called tech support once(like the 90's) but it all worked out I like it so far But, customer service is bizarre
Comment from : menderskeepers

Where's the customer service number?
Comment from : Yadira Quiles

Why is it asking me to create a new company account, I bought this for my home
Comment from : Yadira Quiles

everyone in the comments needs to know that simpli safe uses 433MHz for their equipment which is a very common frequency for smart home devices baby monitors, garage openers, etc They are very easy to bypass with a device that mimics the signal, I'd do more research before investing in the system, or at the very least do not display your yard signs
Comment from : Luke Morton

Great review Chris I purchased my system a few months ago and everything is working fine Not sure if you plan on doing this but it's something to consider I have an exterior camera mounted on my garage in the front of my house I drilled a hole through the wood where the camera is mounted and ran a USB to micro cable through it There is a rubber seal on the rear of the camera that covers the female, micro connection so all you need do is plug the other end into a USB to male, two prong adapter which plugs into an interior outlet in my garage No more battery charging 🙂
Comment from : Joseph Cotton

You shouldn't have the extender right where the base station is located You are supposed to position something like that towards the far end of the base stations reach to "extend" coverage area Fyi, the sensors communicate over their own network and protocol, like ZigBee or zwave, not your WiFi
Comment from : JustSomeGuy

I don’t recommend using the Simplisafe alarm sign Instead, you can use a generic alarm sign that doesn’t specify what alarm system you use you don’t want to give the burglars a heads up about what alarm system you use
Comment from : alvin sam

If you choose to not pay for the monitoring system, will the app hold recordings from an outdoor camera for a short period of time before erasing? So I can go into the app and review the recordings

Thank u

Hey Chris Thanks for the video It was very informative I am seriously thinking about purchasing the system Just wanted to make sure I was correct in my thinking here WITHOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION, you are able to receive push notifications also arm and disarm the system from anywhere?
Comment from : tyrone turner

Good video wish you would have demo the camera
Comment from : Leslie Nagy

Oh it's a lady on there doing vivid that's the one I'm interested in she's doing SimpliSafe versus vivid so I got to speak yours up sorry
Comment from : Em Smith

I'm going to subscribe cuz yours is the only one that's not a year from now but a year later I mean so do your research on that and get back with us I'd be interested to know what you think about that Wi-Fi jammer thing
Comment from : Em Smith

Okay he said the same thing right but he was able to come in the house as long as he held that thing to keep at gave a signal you know like I was just confusing cuz you're saying even without the Wi-Fi he said that too but he still came in his house and he's going like oh that's a little discons
Comment from : Em Smith

And have you heard about the Wi-Fi jammer that this other YouTuber used on it and was able to come in this house how's that make you feel I just bought one I'm going with vivid but he said even if the Wi-Fi went off at the base would use you know let them know but if they can come in your house and hold that equipment and go to your house what the hell good is that they're in your house
Comment from : Em Smith

How do you set up the monitoring for the fire & police
Comment from : Tracy King

Can you monitor the cameras and store footage in their app without having to pay for a 24/7 monitoring plan?
Comment from : Joshua Blanco

Great video ,really good information Thanks BTW what is the color code for the gray paint on your walls? Love that color scheme Thank you!!
Comment from : Junior Diaz

Comment from : Its Me

cool but what if the bad guy just rips the base part next to door out unplugging it and smashes it to bits would it still work?
Comment from : Alex Gordon

How far can you go from hearing it like if you go out side and will someone call you to see if you okay and will cops come

@5:30 your cell phone is German? ;)
Comment from : northbee15

Obviously, the box you received was missing parts, and someone placed it back into circulation, and you got it They should have not made that mistake The person who sent you the (first attempt), sent you the wrong product SimpliSafe is suffering from poor customer service knowledge They are veryyy courteous, but ask the person how long they're with Simplisafe Weed out the newbies; they mean well, but can give bad info Growing pains I love my system, though I set all my sensors to "instant trigger", and SO NOT DISPLAY YOUR SIGNS! Why let a burglar know that you have ANY alarm? Just my opinion
Comment from : Paul B

I have been using SS for 5 years 100 recommend them
Comment from : fastbagger

Why did u not go with Ring?
Comment from : mcarroll78

Good video Question about the outdoor camera How long does the battery last till you have to charge it again ?
Comment from : Darren Tang

great video exactly what I was looking for
Comment from : Mike Sherwood

The alarm system doesn't use wifi or cellular to connect to the sensors It uses its own built in transmitter/receiver to connect with the sensors And the range is usually pretty good The wifi and cellular only come into play to communicate with simplisafe itself to notify them if you have the monitoring service Also the camera uses wifi to send video
