[@Real_Tim_S]

@9:11 huge missed opportunity for a quip: "This SIMPLY doesn't make my feel SAFE..." You are now seeing why poorly engineered security devices only provide the illusion of security, but no real security. This is one of the big draws of Lock Picking Lawyer. Also, you're just overwhelming the TX power of the short burst when the door sensor state changes, burying the sensor's transmission in the noise of the saturated base station receiver (think of it like trying to see a candle next to a spotlight someone is shining in your eyes). You could hold the transmit button on the radio for 5 seconds and just leave the door open, and the base would have no idea... and you shouldn't need to hold it up where the sensor is - just casually hold it transmitting in a sweatshirt pocket as you walk through the door looking like you belong there. They could have fixed this by putting an RSSI detector in the base, and having each sensor send a periodic heart beat in addition to the event transmissions with serialized events so the base could tell than that it missed a TX from the sensor. From there the base could query what it missed, and correlate missed events with high RSSI indicating an more sophisticated attack (and perhaps it could then trip a silent alarm to increase the likelihood of a capture) - but this requires a 2-way RF link, and that's harder to get right in low power (can be done, look at LoRa with 10-year lithium batteries reporting rural propane tank levels). I think you could also defeat this door sensor with a neodymium magnet strong enough to pull in the reed switch in the door sensor, but that works on wired systems too. Essentially, by making the sensor wireless, thy have increased the attack surface of that sensor. Still can't beat a hardwired system with redundant sensor types. Single sensor type can be defeated with a single circumvention procedure - multiple types must be defeated with multiple procedures simultaneously, much harder to get right. I used to install commercial access control systems, and I've never understood SimpliSafe - it's a race to the bottom with pricing, that suckers the market's consumers into thinking they have a system on par with a well designed product. Better than nothing I guess, but so are better locks, doors, and shatter-proof windows...

It sounds more like a "we haven't figured out how to make a useable alarm trigger out of this that won't result in a ton of false alarms, so let's dump the responsibility on the end user, who we don't train how to recognize being slowly desensitized to these notices giving us deniability when a break-in occurs" - rather than a silent alarm.

[@christianthompson1731]

Everything wireless is prone to jamming, including cameras and other sensors.. If someone knows what brand you use they can look up the specific frequency on the FCC website or other online resources. And most consumer products have to be within certain radio bands according to FCC guidelines, so even if they don't research which brand you have they can broadly jam many frequencies with the right equipment. The only way around this is to have wired systems, but if you're dealing with someone that sophisticated they could probably find a way around those too with other methods. But as long as the base station is receiving much more power from the attacker than from the sensor, the sensor will be rendered ineffective.

I have a basement with installed sensors only 20 feet from base station and only seperated by floor my Simplisafe system will not connect to my basement sensors which is unfortunately the most vulnerable part of my home. The other frustration is the cameras do not like modern 5ghz/ 2.4ghz wireless routers mine can't be set up. I even separated the frequencies and gave the 2.4ghz band a separate passcode and even that didn't work. I have made multiple calls to Simplisafe with no help, I know more about wireless networks than the Simplisafe help people. The system will be going back this week -not designed for a larger home.

It did jam the system, but the jamming triggered the alarm, and without the correct pin the alarm goes off. Local homeless have been using stolen Baofeng and mobile HAM radios to set off armed alarm systems and cause users to trash their system. The in car mobile UHF or dual band radio can trigger the alarms to go off from blocks or even a miles away, and can indicate who has alarms from varrious companies by whose alarms were triggered. Also the same amateur radios can cause unlocked garage doors to open leading to uninsurable Catalitic Converter, car computer and sports equipment thefts! Simplysafe should use harder to access microwave radio bands for its communications!

[@barelyfamousofficial]

The signal should just be encoded and broadcasts across multiple frequencies. The remote units should also have a built in memory that records data and sends it as soon as it re connects. Such as a door sensor would hold open or close data for 24 hours. If a camera looses connection it should start recording and save thay footage internally then send thay footage to the cloud once it connects.

[@BukuiZhao]

Jamming it won't trigger the alarm but you will get an alert.

[@WeTheJeeples]

​@barelyfamous611 the problem with that is battery life of the sensors. You would be changing batteries every week or two. As it is I believe, the sensor is one way, it only transmits. Whe it does it transmits it's individual ID and battery level status and an open or close signal etc. It does not receive. The base station waits for the sensor to send a "check in" signal within a pre determined time frame and if it doesn't get on it registers as a failure and send a trouble signal. If the alarm is armed it will trigger an alarm thinking the sensor was disabled.

[@gcklo]

Typically you will have motion sensors and indoor cameras to supplement your entry sensors.

[@robertcrawford4202]

First of all, you do not hold the radio near the sensor as there is no receiver in the sensor. If you want to interfere with the system, you hold the radio near the base station. That being said, setting sensors to go off right away when the system is armed will still not stop a strong handheld radio signal (5 watts) from shutting down the SimpliSafe system. I actually set my SimpliSafe system to away, then walked all around my property with the wife opening doors and windows and the SimpliSafe system would not sound an alarm. So it may not take a $5 gadget, but a Baofeng handheld set to 433.92 and transmitting continuously will keep the SimpliSafe system from sounding an alarm. This is a big vulnerability. Second thing that most SimpliSafe users do not know is that you better hide your base station very well. The reason is that SimpliSafe does not have "Smash and Grab" protection. In other words, a burglar coming into the house, if they find the base station right away and smash it, the monitoring center will not receive an alarm. This is because SimpliSafe does not send a "pending alarm" signal to the monitoring center the second a sensor is tripped. These are two huge vulnerabilities that made me decide to move from SimpliSafe over to Ring. Ring uses Z-Wave which uses a much higher frequency and devices that can use those frequencies are not widely available. Also Z-Wave has multiple frequencies and channels making it harder to interfere with the system.

Frankly, I just moved from SimpliSafe to Ring for three major reasons. First, the ease with which SimpliSafe can be jammed with a $40 Chinese handheld radio. Second, SimpliSafe does not have "Smash and Grab" protection; you have to hide the base station which is not always easy. Third, Ring monitoring is less expensive. It cost $20 a month and if you pay for a year in advance at $200 for the year, it works out to only $16.66 a month. Ring uses Z-Wave for the sensors which is much harder to jam because of the nature of Z-WAVE technology. Ring also has "Smash and Grab" protection. When Amazon puts the Ring system on sale, it can be very affordable compared to SimpliSafe. Also they offer refurbished systems and accessories that really make it affordable and the refurb systems and accessories looks and works just like new.

Don't put those stupid alarm company signs in your yard or the stickers on your windows. You're just telling the thieves what tool they need to use to break in. I say keep them guessing what alarm system you've got.

[@Frilleon]

read through the comments and there are so many fake comments about how simplisafe isn't good. DIY systems are beatable, but it's not easy, and especially not as easy as this video shows

Move your base station

[@jimzimmerman5288]

I'm sure all the crooks just love all this information.

[@LaceyFamilyFarm]

I guess that’s the beauty of a free country. I can spread information and reasons why you shouldn’t have SimpliSafe and try to help people. If crooks want to use it for evil, it’s up to them. Just like a gun, there are more good uses for it than bad, but all it takes is a bad PERSON with one and it now it’s the guns fault. God Bless and have a Merry Christmas!

3421 alarm code

[@michaelwaters6829]

Your too close to the base station. Use a door sensor that's far away from the base station. When you put the radio next to the base station it trips the interference do loop. The door sensor is basicly a circuit and so it cant detect the interference but the base station with its brains can. They need to install digital key codes in the door circuits to prevent the jamming but this will increase unit cost and thus they wont do it. So lock picking lawyers videos might force them to upgrade. Those cheap burghers.

[@emsmith7729]

This is so confusing I just bought this crap simply safe and never find out this thank you for your comments ✌️💜

[@mickboven2750]

You get what you pay for. Have a professional install decent equipment... or pile a bunch of empty cans in front of your doors, if you really want cheap. Since the base station beeps, to let you know exactly where it is... just follow the beep during "entry delay" and smash the base station. Now it won't sound, or communicate. Honeywell wireless is outside the ham radio range, and uses "advanced protection logic" to prevent something like that from doing burglars any good... the signal is sent as soon as the door is opened. It amazes me how people will install inferior equipment, on a system they will have for years, just to save a few hundred dollars. Like I said, you get what you pay for.

[@TheMrbeasely]

Your just trying to market another security system and you don’t know what you’re talking about. Smash the base station? That sends an automated security alert, so it doesn’t work.

[@DjSubstain]

NotSoSafe is the name.

[@LaceyFamilyFarm]

Yea no joke. Lol

[@JustMe-ln5je]

You didn't give the hack a far chance. 1st you have the base station right by the door. I don't think putting the hack transmitter by the door sensor is how you should try to hack the alarm. And you only tried one transmitter. You did not prove the hack does not work, you only showed one device did not work the way you set up the test. The hack is "Not" Busted.

[@LaceyFamilyFarm]

Gotcha. How would you setup the test? Not trying to be snarky, just trying to make sure I get what your sayin.

[@JustMe-ln5je]

@@LaceyFamilyFarm Use more than one transmitter to test this out. Place the base station in a central part of the house. Being it was right on top of that door sensor, I'm sure the sensor and base station had a strong connection giving the transmitter no chance to interfere. Perhaps id the transmitters used by people like the Lock Pick Lawyer and try to debunk by using the same transmitter. I'm not trying to say you did bad, just that I don't think you went far enough to prove conclusively the hack worked or didn't work.

[@LaceyFamilyFarm]

@@JustMe-ln5je gotcha. For sure. Good call. The radio I used is the same as him, but the key fob is different. I tired fo find the same, but it wasn’t available

[@h3ll0_2]

True. Same here. I was thinking the same thing.

[@Bandwidth24]

Software has been updated, this no longer works.

[@rsdandy]

You had the system in test mode so Simplisafe didn't call. They will call if Rf interference is detected.

[@nikkis8102]

I have a stupid question. I thought Simplisafe works through my wireless internet. So does this interference only happen if the internet is down?

[@TheMrbeasely]

It has both a wireless and cellular connection. That’s one of the benefits.

[@nikkis8102]

@@TheMrbeasely Thanks for your reply. So can the hacker tool, he is using, hack through the internet or just when it is on cellular mode?

@@LaceyFamilyFarm I can dig it! Safety is paramount. I show your video to my brother and him being a security/law enforcement expert, he actually had a very simple and cheap solution. So yeah, I definitely get it.

Are you telling people how to get in the house what the hell

[@LaceyFamilyFarm]

I was so frustrated and upset that it was so simple to bypass i had to share so that others didnt get simplisafe.

[@WeTheJeeples]

Anyone who wants in your house will come in anyway. This is just to warn you so you can take action and protect yourself or not go into your house until the police have made sure it is safe. No alarm system will keep.people.out if you have something they want. It just keeps them from staying inside any longer than they are willing to risk getting caught.
