In this video I review the Simplisafe security system. The Simplisafe security system is designed as a DIY security system that you can setup yourself and does not require any type of long term contract for professional monitoring.
In my testing the Simplisafe security system was responsive and the professional monitoring would call almost immediately when the alarm was triggered.
But there are 3 things that I wish they would change about the Simpliafe alarm system:
1. It would be great if they allowed app control of the simplisafe security system for free. Currently you need to pay for a professional monitoring subscription for the app control of the system to work.
2. Increase the camera resolution and provide multiple options for Simplisafe cameras including a more robust outdoor option.
3. Lower the monthly cost of professional monitoring with app control.

![[935] SimpliSafe Alarm Bypassed With a $2 Device From Amazon](/img/n.gif)
Excellent video! Love how you get to the highlights and core features of the system in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you.
Thank you for this! This video clarified so many things regarding this system that the website was unclear on.
GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful & valuable information!!! You've answered a *LOT* of my questions I've had today!!! Keep up the *GREAT* reviews of items!!
Buying tomorrow thank you! You saved me 25$ for the key fob because I will use my smartphone to arm/disarm or the keypad thanks!
very good analysis - clear and complete, excellent presentation !
Amazing review thanks so much!!
Thanks. You answered a lot of questions I had.
Nice Thorough Review.
So you can use the app if you have the standard plan for the camera and to update account or system information pins safeword billing and exit/entry delay time (the time between a sensor being set off and the alarm sounding) the benefit of interactive plan is if you have cameras instead of paying one price for the camera plan and another for the system plan you just pay the system plan the other thing is you can get sms alerts on any activity and you can make it to where if you wanted to if a sensor is triggered it sends a secret alerts to your phone if you have the standard you can't customize that part you can still use the app just not as customizable as the interactive plan
Great video thanks for the help
What sold me here was the dedicated cellular connection for everything but the cameras. We don't have WiFi and tether everything to our phone when needed.
For Ring/other systems, you'd have to purchase an IoT SIM card from US Mobile or other carrier, get a 500MB+ data package, add to old phone, set hotspot, connect security system to get the "WiFi connectivity". The data plan is roughly $5-6/mo. So $10/mo for Ring + $6/mo for connectivity == Same cost as Standard Plan for Simplisafe.
Obviously not many people do without WiFi/Home ISPs so this is a niche use-case.
if you tether can you still use WiFi also can it still be bypassed with radio signal having real problems with entry bypassing camara and all sensors HELP
do you need wifi for all of these items to work?
Thanks, so much, full of helpful detail and explanation.
The Glassbreak sensors can be set to automatically trigger the alarm (as you can do the same with all sensors). However, this can only be adjusted through the app.
can you use the app without paying any subscription? (might be a stupid question but seen something saying i cant)
@@Pixel_Box From what we've heard, it sounds like there isn't app access without a subscription, which is frustrating, especially noting the setting mentioned above. It looks like they're currently offering a 30-day free trial membership, so you could adjust settings during this time frame and decide if you want to keep subscription
Is it wifi or 4g if 4g tske a signal jammer or wifi jammer n u can be in find the base n break it as ppl will sit the base on show like warning look what we got thinking that's a good idea I am allways telling ppl what bad thing thy do what they think warns ppl I say it's a come rob me as a few love a cheap o security system and the cheap o CCTV where it's easy to get in them. And did the hi mate have you got so n so on the TV and your dad in in the garden getting grass hahah
Told them cheap stuff is easy to get in them
@@Pixel_Box I use the app without a subscription.
Good review. Is the professional monitoring service available in the UK?
This is super helpful, thank you
Thank you, super helpful!
This was excellent and I'm actually going to consider going with ring
Did you get ring and how do you like it? Debating on ring and simplisafe myself
@@brandonstorey5913 Ring is GARBAGE. Only takes clips. Misses so much. Goes off line for no reason then difficult to get back on line. I threw mine away
Thorough overview!
Great vid!! We ended up jamming NEST, Ring and this.. very easily .. these things are not good at all.. false security
Cause all the meth-head burglars know how to use and carry the equipment. Where is that eye rolling emoji?
@@mackjsm7105 That the best you got? The typical burglar is not carrying around jamming equipment. If you have stats to challenge that then post em up.
What you reccomend for a security system non plan. One ?
We just got the starter kit for testing. The siren is so wimpy relative to our old wired system. And we set it to the top volume. The sound volume barely makes any sound in the house (including when in a room adjacent to the room where base station is). Neighbors would never ever know something was going on (like our wired system which could wake the dead) for neighborhood watch... Everybody refers to the SimpliSafe siren as "very loud". It is not. The devices are easy to set up though.
The water leak sensor is great if you have a ground floor apartment (particularly if you're traveling).
I have a ground floor apartment any recommendations on where to put the sensor?
@@Waine888 You can place anywhere on the ground. I personally would put it near your toilet or hot water heater.
Great review. Thank you
just bought a house - this was a great review to make an informed decision
Congrats on your house 🖤
ill be buying a new one soon and this would do a lot better than what i currently have
great review? I had to read it 3 x to understand what the heck was said. Next time, have someone proof read your review!
@@paulb8188 I got everything first try. Maybe try paying closer attention.
Hi. I want to thank you for this information. Very helpful.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thx for the ring n nest suggestion
Thank you for the video I need to get alarm system
Question... can alexa alert you if the alarm triggered while you away from home and have the self monitoring plan?
THANK YOU SIR!! SO VERY WELL DONE!!
you had me, and by 'had' i mean lost, at 'pay for app access'... thanks! what a great vid! liked!
Overall a very good review. I have had SS for one month. Cameras now go up to 1080 resolution. You did not mention their doorbell-camera. Biggest problem I had was not enough upload wifi speed for the cameras, each requires a minimum of 2 (Not the fault of SS, but of my poor ATT service which only offers 5 upload.) Of course this also depends on the location of the router in relation to the cameras, floors, walls, etc. Getting a nest router system solved that problem. If you are wondering about the separate siren, it is very loud which is just fine. Overall, the SS customer/tech service has been very good (always depends on who answers like any other place). SS is testing an outdoor camera. One BIG BIG plus not mentioned is that you have 60 days to return the equipment if you are not satisfied. If you do order with a promotion, order plenty of everything (ordering later may not include the discount (mine was 30%) and you can always return part of your order or the whole thing. No system is perfect. If there were one out there, everyone would be buying it.
I would love the doorbell camera ...WOW !
That would solve so many problems in my life and make me feel more secure .I've been with S.S. for several years now with a single camera basic set up and love it. My concern was with the motion sensors. I don't think mine work (?) .
Any sugg ? I would appreciate.
The staff have Always been great by phone with me . I'm not a tech @ this so, they've had to be very patient with me.
Great video , Audio, Teaching. I've always been sold on Simply Safe.
I just spoke to them and they tell me about another 2-4 weeks for the outdoor cameras to arrive. They are trying to get me to order everything now then they will ship cameras when they come in. Seems like a pretty reliable system, I was just concerned about how loud that siren is going to be and didn't want to opt for the additional Aux siren but maybe you answered that for me. With your bandwidth issue how often do you Wi-Fi cams getting kicked off the network?
Thank you for this suggestion. I recently purchased my system via a promotion and was not aware I have 60 days to return the equipment if not satisfied. I also hadn't thought to buy more items at the promotional price so I may do that while they're still on sale.

@@philisbramlett6890 Look up the lock picking lawyer defeat of this ridiculous alarm system. It uses 433 mhz transmission frequency which is the same band as just anout any other radio control consumer item. This makes it easy for a seasoned burglar to defeat your sensors. If you want a doorbell camera you can get so many brands that do not charge you arms and legs jjst to be able to use the app to control the device
Well done! I just finished connecting and testing my system (w/camera) and really like it. I agree with your point regarding the camera being an indoor camera and requiring a protective cover for outdoors...they should have an outdoor camera option. Additionally, the smoke and CO2 detectors are very pricey. The one other downfall is not being able to have multiple app users on the account. 🤷♂️ That said, I am very happy I made the decision to go with SimpliSafe!
Wow, can't believe they can get away with these kinds of limitations in 2020. I'm convinced half these companies survive on name alone, and not on functionality or value. I would go with Eufy, as I have many of their cameras and a doorbell, and can get full app access/control and video storage locally with NO monthly fee.
Multiple users are allowed for the app. My wife and I each have our own apps on our phones, and control the same system.
@@tr1908 maybe have been updated after this guy commented. There’s now an outdoor camera available too since this video has been posted.
Is there a camera outside of my house or inside or both or are u around my house n wanting me to come outside
@@tr1908 How do you do it?
The only gripe I have with this system is that the base station is limited in what it says, for example I would like it to tell me when my driveway camera detects motion, it texts me but an audible would be nice. (Ring does this seamlessly through an Echo device, also shows the camera view.)
I have own a SimpliSafe Security system for over 10 years. I installed it with no problems, I just followed the instructions in the booklet. I just decided to upgrade now, hoping to have the same results. The monitoring service have been great!
How far can the base be from the furthest sensor? We have a large home and need something 60 feet through 3 walls for example …..
What about a 30 lb. Dig in your home...does that effect away monitoring , TY
I have the googles nest cam outdoor. I also have ring door cam, 2 flood lights and the ring home security system. The google is by far the best for video playback as you can view by the sec, and just watch if anything happens outside of the zone. The ring I pay for professional monitoring $100 a year. ( not bad ) but the ring lags and its super slow. Only allowing 30 sec laps time is A BIG fail for a security camera system. I heard google is going away from the security in 2022. Not sure of that correct. After my subscription are up im going to get a professional alarm system. Thats the best way to go. Protect your house and love ones has no price tag.
Hey! What system are you going or did you go for and how much? I’m currently looking for something like simply safe or anything else that works well. I live in the city where crime is high!! Any recommendations
@@Jean-qf8ho I still have about 7 months left on my ring and google cam. To be honest with you, if crime rate is high where you live. I would look into like comcast or ADT something that can call the police and have professional monitoring. Theirs ups and downs on all security systems. You can have your own high quality system but it wont contacts the police or you can pay a monthly fee and have professional security. Hope this helps a little.
I have nest cams. You are right. They are the best. I have ADT and have had them 13years. I’m done. Wanted $900 to install a smart lock and they don’t even have ones with auto lock. Found out they were charging me $5/mo with previous lock and $10/mo for a camera that only had a live feed at 720p, no recording or notifications at all.
I was at $75/mo in monitoring fees.
I’m tired of install fees and not knowing what I’m paying for. One call to vivint and a setup the same as o have now is 4k. But I have to act now to lock that in. Lol. So vivint is out.
I was between this and frontpoint. I use myQ for garage, ultraloq for locks, and nest for cams. This seems to make sense for just alarms.
Would it be nice to have them all on one app? Maybe. But none do each well.
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for review.
do we get mobile alerts if we don't take Simplisafe monthly monitoring plan?
Thanks so much for this video. I was at the store about to buy this. I’m not going to now.
Ring’s $10 protect plan no longer offers professional monitoring. It is now $20
The amount of times you said “DIY”
Great review. You covered everything necessary, thank you!
The amount of times he said "Simplisafe"
Is there some kind of back-up if the internet is down or you shut down your wi-fi signal at night before going to bed?
Does simplisafe still not announce which entry is breached?
Does this sync with Google Home? I already have google nest thermostat and nest doorbell camera, and would like to sync them all on the same app.
If not, any suggestions?
what is included with the all functionality? Can i still view live footage on my phone?
$14.99 option does have SOME app functionality, contrary to what this video says. You can view your "arm/ disarm" history and pretty much see the status of your system. You cannot arm or disarm remotely.
This. The vid doesn’t mention enough about this lesser costing monthly plan and it’s benefits.
I can arm/ disarm remotely and I stopped paying the subscription almost a year ago.
@@devonblaine wait hold on. You don’t pay anything at all and are able to use the app? Does that still mean it works for free with the cameras too? Like you can check the cameras in app for free?
@@pbower4378 Just to Arm and Disarm remotely (OFF, HOME, or AWAY) for free using phone App or Websie. If you want camera feed then you need a paid subscription.
I’m not a big fan of the camera. WiFi set up was a hassle and tech support was poor. It turned out to be the security portion of my router, luckily I had a “demilitarized” option and got an unsecured connection on a second channel built into the router. Additionally, the shutter stuck halfway closed on the first one the shipped to me but it was quickly replaced, they sent me one out before receiving my return even so kudos on that but the second one also had a sticky shutter. For that problem, there is an option in the app to leave the shutter open all the time, I bumped it around until it was open and set it to never close. Its looking across the front yard from a second story window (indoors) so no motion triggering. Three issues on one device. I do like the system overall, just not the camera.
What is your preferred self monitoring system? Or cheapest one? (Like monthly contract
What about when u take them off to change batteries is it to strong it ruine the paint work
You have to get the subscription to use the video storage section in ring
Is there a delay until police act in case of a accidental opening of the door?
Well job 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much for this, I totally assumed the app control would come with a pricey package like this (I was looking at the $250+ package). Now off to find a better deal elsewhere…
If you don’t have central station monitoring, what’s the point?
The last time I tested my system they called literally 5 sec after the alarm went off.
Agreed that this is a bog miss and why I won't be upgrading my legacy system. I want self-monitoring plus an app control. It's OK to have a built-in web server for monitoring (no app) but don't see that here either. Same as you... looking elsewhere.
@@Mark-hi7kh
What's the point of monitoring if you have app control? You just like wasting money?
Decibel level of the siren and battery type?
As a professional security installer I have to say this is a panacea if nothing else. Where I live local municipalities require a record of installation from a qualified security company or else they will not register your account or respond to alarms.....food for thought.
Excellent comment. Could benefit others if you mentioned your location.
I think most of us on here want to monitor our own home and have pictures of the people. I would be the one calling police. With so much defunding of police departments and police leaving. Even if I wasn't home I would beat the police to my house or call a neighbor.
I know things have changed since you uploaded, like the outdoor wireless HD camera, but let me ask you this.
I purchased one indoor camera and one doorbell camera by themselves with no base station or anything else. I payed $5 per camera per month for video storage only. The indoor camera was facing down the hall next to the front door where the doorbell camera was. The issue I had was that once the doorbell camera was triggered by someone coming in, Simplisafe would only upload and store that video and not the video from the hallway camera. In other words, I couldn’t get simultaneous, multiple videos to save on their server. This would be a huge problem for anyone with a lot of cameras in their system, so I’m assuming it’s an issue that is solved by the base station?
I did not have a good experience with SS. I tried to have my information removed from their online website but they won't remove it.
What powers the sensors , do I have to replace a million and one batteries
me laughing imagining people yelling the wrong safe word to first responders after accidentally tripping the alarm.
how much you have to pay for cloud plan for storing captured videos from the camera?
Great review!! I am sooooo glad I came here before pulling the trigger on my simplisafe purchase! No app interface with free self-monitoring?? That’s crazy. I had over $500 in Simplisafe components in my basket. The app should fully usable and free with the purchase of equipment. Ugh back to the drawing board. I want a self-monitoring system that I can install, with a functioning app and one that I can network to save video to my server without going with old school surveillance components. The search continues...
What did you end up going with??
Eufy is awesome
Wat did u end up getting
Hi can you do a review on adt
I know this video is old, but now you can control simplisafe with your app without paying a monthly subscription fee. This would be just a self monitoring system with a loud siren. You could even place the louder 105 dB siren outside. Your neighbors would just love you lol. I thought about doing all of this, but I'm returning it all because I have a Ring video doorbell. Might as well just have one system that does it all with a $100 a year price tag. I do love simplisafe and it was easy and fun to install. It truly is a great system, however just not very cost effective compared to the Ring security system in my opinion.
Thank you for the review. I'm now convinced that this is not a Home Security for our Home. You saved us $.
Keep it up
So what is the right system???? I'm trying to buy one and I thought this was a good system....
@@Cali415 it's good but not $300 a year good
Go with ADT.
You'll get better quality, service, and durability, than the cheap systems listed on here.
Cameras should now 1080p, per their website.
My simplisafe just arrived today and the camera is 1080p.
I can’t find where it says that on the site anywhere. They literally tell you everything BUT that.
If you wanna use Camera. Have to have wifi ?
For self monitoring do you need wifi
I don’t like the idea of the service being able to access cameras inside my home..... also I cannot keep my cell at work... so I would just want the service to notify 911 if an alarm goes off for any reason. Sounds like a pretty good fit for the $15 monthly service...
There is an option to turn off the camera access with video verification. It will turn the video verification off so that you don't have to worry about Simplisafe having access to your camera. I keep it off.
I don't like this option either....wtf why would anyone do that.
guys , who make cameras and sensors for simplisafe are they made it or they buy it from other vendors
If you get app control would i be able to monitor from multiple phones or is it limited to the number of devices signed into the app? i just need for myself and my wife
I have the same question.
We have the Simply Safe indoor camera and glass break detector. After one week, we had to turn it off and never used it since. We have 3 cats that kept setting off the alarm just walking around and nothing we tried would stop that from happening. We set the camera at the least sensitive setting. We would leave the house and arm the system. We’d be at the gym or wherever and our alarm would go off. We set the camera up at the highest point at the top of our kitchen cabinet which was suggested by the tech help. Same thing would happen. The cats were just walking on the floor, but setting off the alarm. Eventually we gave up and the system was a big waste of money for us.
You're supposed to flip the motion sensors upside down so they don't scan the floor and then set them at shoulder height. This is from Simplisafe....... Not a big waste of money. Just contact them instead of giving up completely....
@@dunbeck92We did all that and still had the same problem.
No outdoor siren/beacon?
my question is does the camera record audio and video or just video
You're not telling people that with the monthly fee it includes camera warranty for 10yrs. It's covers any malfunction or issues for 10yrs! To me its worth it.
Ok security-boy
@@macysondheim ok this was really funny u hit a home run
@@Kircic 🐀🐖🤡🚔👮🏿♂️
I agree, I believe that was an oversight on his party (due to limited research). I also think that he should have done more research on monitoring service plans, most DIY home security systems have cost structured monitoring service. Another thing to note is that he is not mentioning anything about environmental interference; depending on the area in which you place your base station (and with the expansion of smart devices, kitchen appliances, and other external factors), it doesn’t matter how close the base station is to the sensor (environmental interference can cause the sensors to malfunction or become unresponsive over time). I learned a lot while working for a DIY home security company.
It's says lifetime warranty on system with the top plan I've had multiple things replaced for free
The T&Cs online (at least for the UK) states that it won’t cover you for business premises. Only residential.
Thanks for a thorough review
Ive owned three of these systems in past three homes , glass break sensors and smoke alarms had to be replaced often because of failure, full service monitoring use to be $15 a month now it’s $25 , not worth it in my opinion and I’m switching alarms on my new home in October
I'm switching also. What have you found as an option?
@@TexasBarnRats I’ve decided to go with a Ring security system and there door beep and flood light cameras as they don’t need batteries and monitoring is only $10 month
@@ivankorth4458 the doorbell company
@@ivankorth4458 how do you like the ring system compared to simplisafe? I’m on the fence between the two and thinking about getting the new ring pro
@@brandonstorey5913 I’d go with Ring over SimpliSafe but there both comparable, I mainly use mine for monitoring temp, water sensors & smoke over alarm system itself
You should win an award for saying the most Simpli Safe word in one vide. 🎉 great review though, thank you
Is it possible to self-monitor with the SimpliSafe system and then sign up just for 1 month professional monitoring when you go on vacation for just that period? You could then cancel it when you return from your vacation.
Yes
you could, but why? You may get charged $50 every time you do this for SimpliSafe to register and reregister with your police alarm division; however, SimpliSafe says you pay in 30 day increments, which you can spread out over time. You have to call and wait endlessly to get a representative to put your monitoring on pause. If you succeed, you will then lose app function until you call SimpliSafe back up again and wait endlessly to get a rep to resume monitoring. Understand, though that it may take anywhere from 24-72hrs where you will technically not have monitoring starting the 30 day and resuming any time within the 30 day after pausing.
we have this system and love it. The only issue we have is the smoke detector is very sensitive. Both my wife and I Vape. She has blown her vape up in the air on several occasions and it sets off the detector. Since then we have disabled this sensor as there is no way to adjust the sensitivity of it. All in all its a great system to have and the monitoring is great.
Replace it it is easily defeated. They also do not encrypt your code so if anyone has the tech to listen and receive which is fairly cheap. They could walk in and use your code or broad cast on the frequency and interfere with the sensors.
Vapes will set off most smoke detectors.
Switch to chewing tobacco
I would not trust their stick on for the sensors, screw them into the wall. On November 25th the motion detector in the front room which was the only one not screwed into the wall fell off the wall while I was at church.. That set the alarm off..
That key fob seems like a security problem. If someone steals it, they can deactivate your system and then break into your home.
How loud is it?
Thats a relief
What about pets with motion sensors do the pets trip the motion sensor?
Not everyone lives in a location with good cell/internet service (me!). I have no cell service at my home. And my WiFi speed and reliability are sketchy at best. That being said, it would seem that Simplysafe (or any similar DIY system) would need a landline feature to be functional. Is that true?
Well then there’s no use getting a “DIY” system. The entire point is to be able to install, change, update, operate and remove the system yourself. If you require a landline, go with a legitimate security company like ADT or something. I’m sure their monthly cost must be in a similar ball park
Hi, how long do the batteries last in each part of the system? Have you done a quick costing of what replacement batteries will be for replacement?
Many thanks and great video!
You can goto the dollar tree and get a set of led teal lights set of 8 each with a 2032 battery in them
For a dollar. I used one for a Halloween prop and it lasted for years.
Ive had my system for about a year now. I only recently changed the battery in my motion sensor because I noticed its detection was weak, everything else is still good.
Up to 10 years
How do you access the letters from keypad?
I would say, before you do that, check with your home insurance company because some of them actually give you a rebate over the monthly fee (in my case) for subscribing. So it's cost neutral or(in my case) can save you money to pay the fee.
That means you get the app control, but it doesn't really cost anything.
This is entirely on your home insurance company though, so check with them
Which insurance company are you using if I may ask?
Good info buddy.. thx
I checked with my insurance. They were like, uhhhh, no, what are you talking about
@@spikesecho724 sorry I missed a comment above asking about who my insurance provide is, we got insurance with Hippo. Might be worth checking out, to see if they'll give you a rebate
Our home insurance company also gives a discount for us having a security system. Bummer for the other commenters that don’t.
Have they changed how easy it is to disable the system with a 2$ emmiter off of ebay?
Not true
Are the monitors/sensors powered with a battery, continuous power supply or both?
Base station is both. Battery is a back-up. The sensors use batteries.
The Simplisafe high db alarm as a deterrant is the most important thing for me. Sure, you can call the police but how long will it take for them to get there? 20mins? 30 mins? Plenty of time for a thief to find valuables and get out without being caught. The high db alarm deterant has a good chance to send a thief running before they have a chance to find your valuables.
How quick is the response time for professional monitoring?
When the alarm goes off I would say within less than 30 seconds you get a call from the call center sometimes it seemed like less than 15 seconds. The time for first responders to get there if dispatched depends on where you live and your local response times.
I accidentally tripped an alarm myself and got a call from the monitoring center in less than 5 seconds. However that is not something one can expect on all alarms
Great review! I gotta ask though, are you sounding semi robotic in purpose? 1😁
If you don't have any of the monitoring options, and the system detects a break-in from a door / window sensor, will you receive notification on your cellphone?
If you don't have any of the monitoring options, and the system detects a break-in from a glass breakage sensor, will you receive notification on your cellphone?
Wait, are you saying that if I do not pay for the monthly service, I can not see on an app or homekit if a window is open?
If you don't pay for the monthly service you will only have a buzzer that could possibly alert an intruder but you will not have the service for them to call the local authorities and your area to check it out you will also need to make sure as Soper my area where I live that you may want to check it out that you may have to be on a registration with your alarm system because of so many false alarms just for the cops don't waste your time coming out because if not you could possibly be charged
@@ASW305 thanks, after a bunch of research I ended up ordering $700 with of Abode stuff instead. Met my needs more when it comes to not subscribing and using HomeKit
I was ready to order SS then I saw SO many complaints about continuous false alarms. :>(
A great drinking game, everytime he mentions "Simply Safe"....take a drink!!! Lol
You will get alcohol poisoning
Although the key fob provides convenience, there's a security risk that if you lose it, a thief could use your key fob to disarm the system.
If you lose your keys, you're pretty fucked in general. Just don't lose your keys. A thief happening to find the keychain you've lost is an extremely unlikely scenario.
@@gamechannel1271 Yeah I agree quite unlikely
