Most security systems have used the same fundamental
technology for over 100 years—electric wires and phonelines.
They bait customers with so-called “free” systems then charge
hundreds for home installation and require a 3 year contract
for $1,547 in monitoring fees.
If that sounds crazy to you, give SimpliSafe a try.

Everything you need to know about Wireless Home Security
Require expensive installation which can cost anywhere from $99-$500 depending on the size of your alarm system.
Some systems (like SimpliSafe’s) can be self
installed—but beware that only a few companies
make this truly easy. SimpliSafe can be easily
installed in 20 minutes and there is no technical know-how
required. See for yourself: Watch SimpliSafe's Easy Peasy install Video
Feel the Thrill of doing what you thought was impossible—and telling your neighbors
“I did this myself” (while secretly giggling about how easy
it was).
Holes in your walls.
Nothing to drill; no holes, no mess.
Permanent and requires another outlay of cash to remove a system.
Easy to take with you when you move to your next dream house (or leave the suburbs for the city).
Rely on landlines—the Achilles heel of most
alarm systems—because these can be cut by burglars
with a $3 dollar pair of scissors.
Extra cost of home phone line can be $30-50/month. Some systems let you get a “cellular backup” at an extra
charge in both equipment and monitoring expense.
SOME systems (like SimpliSafe’s) are equipped with independent GSM communicators,
so there is no need for a phoneline. (But most wireless systems aren’t
truly wireless...they’ll still require a phoneline to
work).
No landlines needed!
Require your signature on a 2-3 Year Alarm monitoring
contract that’s so bulletproof OJ Simpson’s lawyer couldn’t
get you out of it. Contracts are often filled with sneaky fine print and hidden fees.
Many wireless alarms can be purchased without any
alarm monitoring (but if you do want the protection
of 24/7 live monitoring some companies still require
a contract).
SimpliSafe offers wireless security
systems—with no contract—24/7 live monitoring is available on a month-to-month basis
(this is entirely optional).
Wired security systems almost always ensure
that the control panel of the system is hidden
in a closet or basement in your house, where
burglars can’t easily get to it to smash and disable.
The Ugly: Most wireless security
systems cut a corner—they inserted the alarm signal
transmitter into the Keypad and put it near your main
entrance. So a burglar with a bat could just smash it
and the alarm would be disabled. Read more about this
dangerous Achilles heel.
SimpliSafe’s wireless security system is safer
than most wireless systems, because our Keypad is
completely independent from the control center of
your system.
“ Wireless is the way to go.
My home was built in 1897
and the last thing I want is an alarm company drilling holes
in my walls, windows, and floors...One spark in this house
and it will go up like a book of matches! I was going to go
with ADT and use there wireless system but...I could not
understand why a company that big would charge soo much
for everything. Not to mention they wanted to lock me in
for three years...”

The Dangerous Defects Burglars Exploit to Defeat Alarms
Watch to discover the Achilles heel found in some wireless security systems
Defect #1: Smashable Keypad
The Tool: Baseball Bat
Most alarm systems have an
Achilles heel - if a burglar smashes the keypad
quickly enough, the police don’t get alerted.
The Antidote: Decouple
SimpliSafe has solved this problem by
taking the “brains” out of the Keypad and putting them
into a separate Base Station, which is hidden somewhere
in your home or office building. When an alarm is triggered,
the Base Station stays quiet while it alerts the monitoring service.
Once the alert has been safely sent, the Base Station
will blast the sirens. Unlike other alarms, if a
SimpliSafe Keypad were smashed, the alarm would continue
to function.
Defect #2: A Phoneline
The Tool: Scissors
Most alarm systems rely on just one
little plastic phone cord to send out your
alarm signal. So, all a burglar has to do to
make
your alarm useless, is snip it. Voila! The
police will
never be alerted.
The Antidote: Go Cellular
At SimpliSafe we disapprove of any
alarm system calling itself wireless,
unless it’s able to connect to the monitoring
center with a
cellular connection. Each of our alarm systems is equipped
with GSM
technology and we’ve partnered with T-Mobile
to send your
alarm signals directly to our 24/7
monitoring center. We provide
this connection

I have had SimpliSafe since January, and I am incredibly pleased. To be honest, I wondered if a lot of the reviews were "planted" when I bought it, but am so glad to find out that they were real. I ended up spending about $600 on my system, but it was well worth it. I have the $14.99/month monitoring. If you have any doubts or questions, feel free to send me a message. The only thing that I'm really anxiously awaiting is the glassbreak sensor, but it's worth the wait in my opinion. With SimpliSafe you won't get all the bells and whistles, but you will not be disappointed!
Had a Vivint door-to-door salesperson come to the door yesterday, She wanted to install their panel for free, use my existing SimpliSafe sensors, and charge me $40-$60/mo monitoring. She'd never heard of SimpliSafe. She thought I was full of baloney when I described the how well the system worked and how low the non-contract fees were. Basically had to push her out of the house. One check of BBB on the other company and I'm extra glad I'm with you guys.
I love my simplisafe and stories like this one make me even more thankful. Keep up the great work!
