Products and services[edit]

System overview[edit]

SimpliSafe systems include a base unit and a keypad, and a variety of peripheral wireless accessories and sensors including video doorbells, smart locks, door sensors, motion detectors, smoke detectors, glassbreak sensors and temperature monitors.[10] Systems are designed to be self-installed.[24] Previous systems worked on a cellular connection, while the third generation system runs off of both cellular and Wi-Fi.[17] The wireless system runs on lithium batteries, and can't be disabled by cutting the user's power.[25] As a standalone product, SimpliSafe systems function as a noise-only alarm system, emitting a 85-decibel siren.[26] Monitoring services are provided for a monthly fee.[25]

Recognition[edit]

In 2020, American media website CNET named SimpliSafe the best do-it-yourself alarm system.[35] CNET named SimpliSafe best system again in 2021. [36]
