SimpliSafe Home Security System Review



security camera outdoor

SimpliSafe is a simple-to-install home security system. The price of the SimpliSafe sensors is slightly higher than that of the Wyze average, however they are stronger and more attractive than the Wyze counterpart. SimpliSafe sensors performed exactly as expected during our testing. These sensors are easy to set up, since they come pre-applied sticky tags. Once the sensors have been installed, all that is left to do now is plug them into your base station.

Basic home security system

SimpliSafe can be used in either wired or wireless settings. The wireless system relies on a cell signal instead of Wi-Fi or a landline connection. This connection is the best for home security systems. SimpliSafe systems are compatible with any strong signal cell.

SimpliSafe security systems are available at Best Buy, Target and Walmart as well as online at the company's site. To receive notification if there's a break in or alarm, you can also purchase a monitoring package. The system has received positive reviews from tech review sites like CNET, which notes that it is easy to set up and use. Moreover, users have rated SimpliSafe 4.7 stars on Google Reviews and 74% on Trustpilot.

How To

How to test a home security system

How to test an Home Security System

The first step is to install your alarm monitoring software on your computer. You can download the most current version from manufacturer's website. Next, you will need to setup your phone number so that anyone calling the monitoring center is routed to your line. If you don’t know how to do that, you can ask your local service provider. Once everything is setup correctly, you're ready to start testing!

There are two main ways you can test your system. The first method is to use an empty device. This is basically a fake device which looks exactly like a real device. The fake device has many of the same features as the original, but it does not actually work. When you turn it on, it sounds just like the real thing would if it was working properly. A dummy device comes with some limitations. First, it won't tell you anything about the actual functionality of your system. It might also look suspicious to others who observe it lying around. Third, it might be stolen and cause trouble.

You can also test your system manually. You will need to go through your entire system and verify that everything is working properly. Check to make sure that motion sensors, cameras, door locks, and other devices are working correctly. You should test each of these items at least once a week. After you've tested everything thoroughly, you can feel confident that your system is working well.
