You Can Get SimpliSafe’s Home Security System for 50% Off Right Now

The SimpleSafe wireless home security system is different from most mainstream home security cameras. You can build your security system by buying exactly what you need; you’re not forced into paying for a monthly subscription to be able to use the most basic features of your security system; and everything is a simple installation that you can do yourself. Right now, you can get their basic starter kit bundle for $99.99 (originally $199.99) and get it in time for Christmas after a 50% discount on Amazon. This is the cheapest this bundle has been, according to Camelcamelcamel’s price history, and a great opportunity to get started.

What you get with this SimpliSafe bundle

This starter kit is a five-piece bundle that includes:

• Base station: The base station is the hub that most security systems use, but it can also send alarm signals to the monitoring center if you get a subscription plan. It can have a built-in cellular connection so it’s not dependent on wifi, has a 24-hour battery backup, and has a 95-decibel siren to scare intruders (about as loud as a motorcycle engine running).

• Motion sensor: The motion sensor is designed for human detection, and it ignores pets under 65 pounds. It has a 35-foot radius of detection with a 90-degree field of view, so it is best placed in the corner of a room.

• Keypad: This smash-safe keypad disarms and arms your system wirelessly, is easy to use during the day and night, and requires no plug, so you can place it anywhere.

• Entry sensor: The entry sensor protects your doors, windows, and cabinets when they are open by alerting you and is designed to blend into the background (if your doors are white).

• Key fob: The key fob works like a car remote; it lets you arm and disarm your system with the press of a button.

The nice thing about SimpliSafe is that you can pay for what you think you will use. If you’re interested in flooding, you can get their leaks and flood sensor for $20. The security system is also compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Watch and other systems. Their subscription plans are affordable and simple as well, with no contracts. If you don’t want a subscription plan, you still get a live video feed of your cameras from the SimpliSafe App and the ability to remotely disarm and arm the system with the app. If you want the 24/7 emergency response team that calls police or first responders as well as other perks, you can pay for one of the plans. You always get a free month to try out the plan and see if it’s worth it for you. Read more about SimpliSafe’s security system from PCMag’s review.
