OT: SimpliSafe security system

[ronpolk]

Anybody got one of these and have an opinion, good or bad? Been looking at them.

I've had one for about 5 years. Very easy to install and it works very well. When I got mine they would ship the base station with either a Verizon or T-Mobile card. I'm not sure what they offer now but make sure you get something that gets service at your house.

Great system. No wires, no land line required, and easy install. You'll just have to change the batteries periodically.

Appreciate the responses. I think I’ll be ordering it soon

Is it monitored? Monthly fee? I have Blink cameras that I like, but also have to pay for separate alarm system monitoring for break in and fire.

I’ve had mine for a few years. Really like it.

Yes, you can pay for monitoring if you choose. Mine cost $29.95/month. Has went up $10 the last two to three years.

Abode smart home features blow away Simply Safe, and it integrates with more ecosystems. It's also super easy to install. I have had it for close to ten years now. Lower fees than simply safe too. Check it out. www.goabode.com

Another vote for SimplySafe after five+ years....easy to install (i'm now 82) and keep up to date. Get messages through the app if motion detected and camera engaged anywhere I am. Can set for 'home' or ' away'..when 'away' mode there is a motion detector in our den in case someone still gets inside.
