I spoke with Alexander, I rate him a A, not only on his customer service but his patience with me(i am a senior citizen). We were able to TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM but by evening the “bay station”went right back to acting up. But I still stand by my review of Alexander’s costumer service
It was an easy setup. The app walks you through everything. Any issues I had were easily resolved
I own a rental property and had a break in while remodeling the property. I got a Simplisafe alarm for security. It was priced very reasonable and easy to install. Last week while in between renters I had a break in and the alarm worked like a charm. The police were there in minutes and almost comically the only thing stole was the base unit to the alarm. I called Simplisafe and spoke to Alexander A. And had a new one Fedex'ed to me free of charge. If you are looking for a reasonable and reliable security system I would highly recommend Simplisafe.
Nashayia was wonderful to work with - she referenced the information that I had already provided through a previous chat and helped me with my issue promptly as well as giving me some advice for information that I might need in the future. If every agent was as easy to work with as her, SimpliSafe would really have something.
Easy installation, technology backed
We love our Simplisafe system. The entry sensors give us great peace of mind at night. I live that the simplisafe will contact emergency services for us if our smoke detectors senses smoke so our home and most importantly our dog is protected from fire and smoke inhalation when we are not home. The water sensors have already identified two separate water leak events that would have cost thousands in repair if not they had not been caught immediately. The customer support staff is competent and friendly. I just spoke with Umar about a calibration error is received from my Simplisafe door lock and he was able to fix the issue in one call.
The scheduling option in the app for arming and disarming the system automatically is only available with their highest priced monthly subscription. What to me should be a basic feature for controlling the system they have bundled with their premium monitoring and storage service, which I am now forced to pay for, but don't need. On another note, in order to cancel or downgrade your service they require you to call in to their customer service and face a high pressure conversation to maintain the high subscription plan.
Hi Ethan, Thank you for the thoughtful review and for laying out specifically which feature you wanted on which plan. Scheduling for arming and disarming sits under our Self Monitoring, Core, Pro, and Pro Plus tiers today, and feedback like yours is exactly what our product team wants in their inbox, so we are passing it along directly. We always want to be as transparent as possible about what each plan includes, and the full breakdown lives on our monitoring plans page at support.simplisafe.com/page/monitoring-plans if it helps you cross check what you are actually paying for against what you actually use. If you would like to talk through this further, we are happy to escalate it and have someone walk through your account with you, and we have requested your information so we can get that going.

I was trying to be a customer. I have two accounts with simple safe on for the business one for my home. I called could not understand the person with her accent. She did not know anything about my question about buying a solar panel for my outside camera and you website is not user friendly trying to find the question and I didn't want to spend the time to chat
Hi Conley, Having two SimpliSafe accounts and reaching out specifically to expand one of them is the kind of customer we want to make sure does not run into friction on a question we should be able to answer easily. Thank you for sharing your information and experience with us. We will have someone reach out to you directly with details on solar charging options for your Outdoor Camera, so you can get the answer and the purchase done in one conversation instead of a hunt through the site. The SimpliSafe Team
Everything went really smoothly from ordering equipment to getting it delivered and installed. The technicians that installed the alarm system were very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you for the experience.
Great security system easy to install using their manuals guides. Superb service cameras are clear. Highly recommend SimoliSafe security system.
The battery backup system works well, since we have lots of power outages. Cell and Wi-fi are also nice features.
This place is a ripoff. When we purchased our system I chose to run it through solar. I was told that because it is ran through solar we wouldn't be eligible for monitoring. When the installation was done the technician told me that the 24/7 monitoring wasn't activated due to the solar. I have been lucky enough I was saving money for a trip in the account it was being pulled from. Trip is over and now pinching pennies. I noticed they HAVE been charging me. I called and asked for a refund for services I haven't received and they totally blamed the miscommunication on me and won't refund any of the money. Their customer service agent actually laughed at me. I am contacting the better business bureau and my attorney on retainer. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Rip offs. I would give them-10 stars if an option.
Hi Bodily Family, Finding charges on an account that was set up specifically because monitoring was not going to be active is not the kind of surprise anyone wants to come back from a trip to. We are taking this seriously, and we want to be clear about a few things from our side. Charges begin once an account is activated through the SimpliSafe app, not at the moment a system is installed, so there is a specific question about how the activation kicked in once the equipment was set up, and we want to look at that history with you. We also apologize that the pre purchase conversation did not surface the hardware requirements clearly enough, because the solar configuration you chose does not pair with our Active Guard service the way other setups can, and that is exactly the kind of detail that should have been on the table before the purchase. On the call where the agent laughed, we have a zero tolerance policy for that kind of conduct, and we will pull the call so the right action can be taken internally. We've requested your information so we can look at the account, walk through what options actually exist, and make sure that even without Active Guard, your home is set up to be secure.

Janelle was awesome, very patiently walked me through the steps needed to get me reconnect.
I have been a customer for many years now. I like the ease of buying my equipment in pieces that fit my lifestyle. I like the fact that it is pet friendly and 24 hour monitoring. The setup is very easy as well. This is perfect for apartments.
Easy to install and operate.
Always an easy purchase! Love SimpliSafe…keep up the good work!
I get an error message from the system that said my garage camera has been disconnected due to the fact that the battery is not working. When I look on the app I can do a live view from the garage with no problem and the battery status shows 100 percent charged from the solar charger. I tried to call safe touch and was told the anticipated wait was 5 minutes. 10 minutes later I'm still on hold and I'm going to hang up in a few minutes. Looking at all the recent reviews their service is going downhill rapidly. I'm also wondering if this message is some kind of scam because a friend of mine also was getting the same message for one of her outdoor cameras which also was working perfectly.
Hi Allen, Getting a disconnect alert for a camera that the app shows live, with the battery at one hundred percent, is the kind of mismatch that earns a closer look on our side. Thank you for taking the time to flag it, especially with the detail about a friend seeing the same pattern, because that helps us understand whether this is account specific or something worth widening the lens on. We are happy to escalate this for investigation. We've requested your information so we can connect with you directly, look at what your camera is actually reporting versus what the alert is showing, and get a clear answer for you. The SimpliSafe Team
Only giving 5 stars because I called multiple times regarding the base station malfunction. Associates only temporarily fixed the issue. It wasn’t until I spoke with associate Keisha from Virginia who properly assessed the situation and corrected the solution. Keisha was patient, professional, and knowledgeable. She apologized for this inconvenience I was experiencing and showed compassion. If it wasn’t for her, I was going to no longer be a SimpliSafe customer. I went thru a third party that SimpliSafe uses to install outdoor camera Thank you again Keisha.
When I finally reached tech support, roger t, my problems were solved. He was very patient and resolved my issue quickly. Answered my questions to assure me everything else was working. Long waits is the only reason for a 4. Roger is a 5.
