SimpliSafe's home security system is easy to set up. The cost of the sensors is slightly higher than the Wyze industry average, but they are a lot more solidly built and look better than the Wyze counterpart. We were able to confirm that the SimpliSafe sensors worked as we expected. Because they come with sticky tabs, it is easy to put them in. Once you have the sensors installed, all you have to do is plug them into the base station.

FAQ
Do I really want a home alarm?
Home security is essential for everyone who lives in a home. A burglar could break into your houseat any time without warning. They'll steal everything, even valuable electronics. You can leave your doors unlocked and they'll take everything.
A home security system can protect your home by sending alerts to you when anything happens. This includes detecting motion, sending alerts to your mobile device, recording activity, and allowing you to view recorded footage.
If you'd rathernot spend money on a home security system, you can always use a simple DIY camera instead. These cameras allow you to see who is at your front door and notify you when they are entering or leaving. But they won't help you stop intruders from breaking into your home.
Which one is better: home security camera or home security system?
Home security systems are more effective than home security cameras because they can detect sounds and movement, even if no one is present in the room where the system is installed. Home security cameras are easier to mount on doors and windows than those of home security systems.
What price should I pay to have alarm monitoring?
Alarm monitoring costs can vary depending on whether you need it to be monitored frequently, what equipment you need and whether you are looking for an all-inclusive plan or a monthly fee.
What is the difference between surveillance and security cameras
Security cameras are used to protect, while surveillance cameras are used to monitor.
Both types of cameras have their advantages and disadvantages. The only thing that distinguishes them is the type and quality of images they produce. Surveillance camera record video in slow-motion so you can follow what's happening live. Security cameras on the other side only record video and still photographs, which are saved for later review.
How much does a good home security system cost?
A home security system is about $2,500. This might seem like a lot, but it's really quite inexpensive when you consider the peace of mind that comes with having a safe and secure place to live.
