![]() It didn’t detect us when we walked along the wall we installed it on, so we moved it to a corner. Originally, we placed the motion sensors in the middle of the wall but found their 90-degree field of view to be pretty limiting. Our SimpliSafe motion sensors did exactly what they were intended to. Could an intruder slither into a two-inch crack to enter our apartment? We don’t think so, so our verdict: The door sensor works. ![]() Of course, we tried out the entry sensors too and discovered that they notified us when they moved about two inches apart from one another. SimpliSafe Entry SensorsĪfter a bit of touring our apartment for vulnerable entry points, we determined that the ground level of our home was the best place for our entry sensors, as that was where intruders were more likely to enter. These two-part sensors went on doors or windows and their respective frames to tell us when they opened or closed. That’s a great feature to have against smash-and-grab burglars who might break-in, smash your security system panel to delay alarm response, and get away. It’s tamper-proof, so if someone tries to smash it, it will actually sound SimpliSafe’s siren and notify you. ![]() It may not look as good as those tablet-like control panels other brands offer, but it’s actually quite useful. It may seem a bit clunky, but the keypad actually has a touch-sensitive screen, making controlling it a little easier.įrom the keypad, we were able to arm and disarm the system, manage user PIN codes, and control every aspect of the system. Our main point of control was the keypad, a wall-mounted device that looked like a large remote control. Despite our experience, if you live in a single-storey house or apartment, 95-decibels is loud enough to scare away intruders. However, this wasn’t loud enough for us to hear on different floors of the house, which is why we purchased the auxiliary siren as well, detailed below. In addition, it connected to the professional monitoring center and played a 95-decibel siren if any alarms went off, which meant it was almost equal to a loud, high-pitched blender in terms of volume. In a nutshell, it connected all of the components to the SimpliSafe app so we were notified of any activity (when we used the Standard or Interactive plans, of course). Base stationĪt the center of every SimpliSafe system is the base station, which serves as the brains of the system. We worked to learn more about each part’s role. SimpliSafe Security SystemĪ bit obsessed with home security, we took an interest in each individual component of the system. Additionally, we added the SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro, which allowed us to view and speak with visitors, whether or not we were home. In addition, it had the SimpliCam indoor camera, a panic button, key fobs, and last but not least, an auxiliary siren. It included common components like a base station, two wireless keypads, and eight entry sensors, two motion sensors, and a glass break sensor. We bought the Summerfort system, which is one of the hidden packages we found after about 30 minutes of browsing SimpliSafe’s website. ![]() To take advantage of this deal, you’ll need to sign up for a free trial of the Interactive plan, but don’t worry, because you’re free to cancel the trial anytime.
