Simplisafe home security system review: a comprehensive DIY kit with 24/7 monitoring

Simplisafe hardware Simplisafe offers a wide range of kits, each containing a different selection of its products. The fobs also have a red panic button that triggers the alarm – and calls the police via Simplisafe’s live monitoring service, if you have the relevant subscription – with a press. Simplisafe smart home features Despite the system’s inherent simplicity, there are a few smart home integrations worth mentioning. You can issue commands like “Alexa, ask Simplisafe to arm my system in home mode,” or, in a less convoluted way, “Alexa, tell Simplisafe I’m leaving.” Alexa asks you to confirm each command, but it all works pretty well and the alarm system responds quickly to whatever you tell the voice assistant to do. This enables what the company calls “full self-monitoring with mobile app,” which means you can use the app to control and monitor the system, and view live video from your Simplisafe security cameras.
