SimpliSafe Review: Pricing, Features

How does SimpliSafe work?

To purchase a SimpliSafe system, you visit the company’s website and select a package, or you can build your own. The company will mail your equipment.

From there, you use the SimpliSafe app to walk through the setup process, or you can pay for professional installation.

All SimpliSafe products are wireless and don’t require any drilling or tools to install. The products also come with built-in Wi-Fi connection and backup battery in case of power or service failure.

SimpliSafe cameras can zoom in, have night vision, a wide field of vision (at least 120 degrees), two-way audio and have intelligent detection abilities, meaning they can learn the difference between an intruder and the cat.

How much does SimpliSafe cost?

SimpliSafe offers seven home security system packages. The company often runs promotions offering free trials of professional monitoring, free indoor cameras and up to 50% off packages. The prices below are list prices.

You can also customize your own system or add specific items to an existing package. For example, you can add a smoke detector to a basic package for $34.99 or a video doorbell for $169.
