Why Our Wireless Keypad Makes You Safer

Most wireless alarm systems have one control unit that both arms and disarms the system and also sends the alarm signal to the monitoring center. This presents an easy way for burglars to beat the system -- smash up the thing making noise, and no signal can be sent. SimpliSafe has solved this problem by creating a separate Base Station and wireless Keypad.

If an alarm is triggered, noise is initially emitted by the Keypad. Our Base Station stays muted and counts down the seconds prior to alerting the Emergency Dispatch Center of a break-in. Once the alarm signal is sent, a full siren noise is emitted by the Base Station and it's too late for a burglar to stop the signal. This important design feature led to the arrest of a burglar in Florida who thought he'd destroyed the system; read about the burglar's follies here.

You also get the added benefits of choosing where to place the Base Station for maximum discretion and the ability to mount your Keypad where it is most convenient - by your front door.
