A long-term SimpliSafe setup provided reliable alarm performance when a triggered siren sounded from downstairs. A police officer called after an agent attempted to confirm whether the alarm was false and received no response. The homeowner explained that a child had accidentally triggered the system while trying to access the garage and had forgotten the smart lock code. The officer was able to avoid an unnecessary trip, and the incident led to upgrading the system. Over time, additional devices were added, including a smoke alarm listener for hardwired smoke alarms, a smart CO2 detector, an outdoor camera with a monitoring plan, and an extra smart lock. Add-ons were installed by the homeowner and did not increase the monthly monitoring fee, which remained contract-free.
"In the years that have passed since that morning, I've expanded my SimpliSafe system. I now have a smoke alarm listener for our hardwired network of smoke alarms, a smart CO 2 detector, an outdoor camera with a monitoring plan, and an additional smart lock that I added to my front door. All of these add-ons were easy for me to install myself and did not add to the monthly monitoring fee, which is also not locked into any length of contract, unlike competitors like ADT."
