Really helpful, thank you. Love the cats poster

[@christinesmith9958]

Love this! It helped me set up my system SO easily! TY!

[@U2WB]

This is by far the best video explanation I've seen so far about this. I have one question: What do you do if the app does not find your keypad ? Mine doesn't.

[@asksafewise]

The keypad wasn't recognized when you were trying to install it? This has happened to me in a past test when I tried a used system. The keypad might reset after you take out the batteries. Try the instructions from this video (around 5:15) and see if that helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqS1faR9dtapn7c

[@johnm5299]

Great video!

[@thudao2798]

How long it's take siren turn off? Thanks

[@Luvsake00]

do you need the base station to work the indoor security camera?

[@Sh4kuRxThuG]

Does it have an application for IPHONE IOS?

[@carlosyahirvargaszamora6529]

When the app ask you to choose a plan, you can choose the option at the very bottom that says "decline 30 free trial" who will give you the free service.

[@asksafewise]

Good catch!

[@Kbk542]

Can you set up the system with just the keypad or does the smoke and co detector and new motion sensor need to be setup through the app

[@asksafewise]

Sure! You can set up the system with just a keypad or just sensors. DIY security like this can look different depending on what you're wanting to add. But all of it does need the app to connect to the system. Hope that helps!

How to save video.

When is the cove new system set up coming? I'm ready for it 🙏

[@Kbk542]

It’s coming towards the end of July, beginning of August.

[@asksafewise]

Hey! Katie here 👋 The Cove review is still in the mix, but we've had to push our schedule back a little bit after I took some personal time. So I'm hoping to wrap up our SimpliSafe testing by end of next week then I'll be moving on to Cove early in August.

Is it possible to point the indoor camera out of a window, to monitor outdoor activity?

[@asksafewise]

It is, but it probably won't be much help with the way this camera's designed. SimpliSafe has designated outdoor cameras that might be a better solution. This new camera's indoor-only and keeps its shutter closed unless the system is armed and triggered or you schedule it to open.

[@carlosyahirvargaszamora6529]

an indoor camera through a window wont catch any motion and the night vision wont work either

[@Kbk542]

Can I self monitor simplisafe

[@richhomiefamoux1726]

Yes

[@yervue9426]

I cannot paid the indoor camera.. it keeps asking for update and goes no where.. 😌

[@Classicallymodest]

The indoor camera is horrible in a room with dim or no lights. No night vision contrary to its claim

[@drob2897]

They didn't send you an outdoor camera? Probably because they are awful and unreliable. Its a good alarm system but an awful CCTV options.
