SimpliSafe Home Security Setup & Installation - Incredible Security System

[@GeekyStuff]

I have seen so many people comment about the frequency this security system operates on and that it can be scrambled! Will someone find me the device that'll do this and i'll create a video about it and we'll see if it actually works by cancelling out the SimpliSafe alarm! I'll make a video on it too! :)

[@danieljuk]

I believe generation 3 of the system (which I believe this is) does not have the hack because it now has encryption between all the wireless parts, previous 2 gens did not. I am researching the system to buy and this was a real concern for me. Before if you disarmed on the keypad it sent a signal to the base stations totally unencrypted apparently and someone could replay attack it with a device. It wasn't an easy hack to do because you had to be near to the device and know where they were in the house. Anyway all signals are encrypted from gen3. Becareful putting out the yard sign or a sticker to the brand if you have gen1 or gen 2 though!

[@kleinstarnull]

@@danieljuk Encryption would not stop a device from jamming the signal between the base station and sensors.

[@grant46n2]

[@hanwagu9967]

@@danieljuk the encryption doesn't matter...it has to do with the 433.92MHz (at least in the US) being low emitted signal which can be interfered either causing the base station to believe and report it as RF interference or not at all.

[@ErchellBeverly]

Considered hiring alarm system pros for Simplisafe installation. After viewing this video, I am confident I can install the system myself. Straight precise instructions. Not too wordy. Excellent job! Thank you! 5 stars

[@no_handle_required]

THANK YOU for actually testing the system and showing it working instead of doing the typical sales influencer nonsense. Good on ya.

[@kimchan2108]

We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzbin.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

[@cindymiller2748]

SimpliSafe should compensate you for making this video. A+ demonstration :)

[@GeekyStuff]

Haha thank you.

[@breal9176]

Thank you so much, I’ve just bought my first home and I wanted something that is wireless but really easy to install. Definitely going to buy it now.

[@macysondheim]

U actually thing someone’s going to break into a cheap small home like yours

[@breal9176]

My SimpliSafe security system arrived, look impressive. I can’t wait to set it up thanks again.

[@GeekyStuff]

No problems, good luck 👌

[@luisgonzalez5780]

I have installed a few of these Simplisafe systems. Its amazing how easy they are to install. Great video!

[@lgray63]

Great video. Just one point. The motion sensors will have to be set up differently on your walls if you have pets. I was told by simplisafe support that as I have a 26kg dog and 2 4kg cats that the sensors should be placed at shoulder level on the wall and upside down so the sensors don't scan the floor area. Just be aware of this. 😃

[@sleepeasymeditation1755]

Cats climbing on shelves?? Seems like a recipe for frequent police visits to the residence

[@dclguy]

I just purchased this system and wanted to have a visual of the process and I happened to pick the perfect one. Excellent video, I'm now ready to set it up. Thank you so much.

[@ckrs478]

Here is a tip about SimpliSafe Motion Sensors. it takes a few minutes after you set your alarm for the sensors to adjust to the room. If you are testing your system take that into consideration. While testing my system I set the alarm and came into the room immediately and often the motion sensors did not detect me right away. If I waited a few minutes before I entered the room, they got me every time.

[@uwudemon8265]

thank you so much for this! i’ve been looking for a video that shows a complete overview of the system including the siren so i’m very glad i found this video!

[@kelshiakeys5773]

Excellent demonstration! I have this system in my daughter's apartment and guess who lost the manual in the move? I was able to completely set up her system again and rename the devices by watching your video.

[@leonbernard484]

This is a very GOOD video. Well done. Thank you for your service it was very helpful.

[@MrC6Dave]

Great video! Been looking at getting the SimpliSafe system for my home. This video helped a lot before wanting to purchase.

[@greggrimsley5337]

I set mine up almost 2 years ago, it's worked flawslesly. I would recommend using screws to attach your sensors, if you are attaching to wood trim. The sensors hold well on glass and metal, just not on wood.

[@borisdavidov5]

How frequently you change the batteries?

[@kahoycrafts]

It's great to hear from an honest reviewer and that you took the time to go through the full set up. My SimpliSafe is on the way but I still have some concerns about certain details and this definitely helped. Happy Birthday btw.

[@macysondheim]

Then why did you buy it

[@kahoycrafts]

@@macysondheim Good question! SimpliSafe represented the best value in terms of the features we were looking for in an alarm system. We still have it three years later and no plans to change anything. Are you shopping for an alarm then?

[@danielisin2273]

​@mikecarter16 has it prevented any break-ins. I hope that hasn't happened to you, but if it has, did it do its job?

[@kahoycrafts]

@@danielisin2273 Happy to report that we haven't been a victim yet, but we do have a significant number of break-ins in our area, and it does give us some peace of mind.

[@maeda1224]

Just got the SimpliSafe and your video greatly helped setting them up. Much appreciated!

[@itsGabrielaCristina]

Amazing video. I’m considering this system for my new house and I’ve been convinced. Thank you!

Great video! I used this as a guide to setup my new system and it went flawless!

[@GeekyStuff]

Brilliant, I'm glad it worked for you :)

[@g.shumway5925]

My biggest concern was how well the sensors would work on elaborate door frames...your video put me at ease (all other videos have simple door frames where everything lines up almost too conveniently!)

[@zakmirza]

Great video. Im not looking at upgrading my current alarm system, but when i move house i want something more funky! Thank for the video.

[@sabuneemt2336]

You did an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating how to setup and use the Simply Safe Security. This is the BEST Simply Safe KZbin Video!!!

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Added this to my current security system for insane redundancy. My house is now like the Home Alone house complete with 1000+ marbles for the floor and a bucket of paint above the door. Not to mention the video camera and "Beware of the Dog" signs. It's pretty nuts at this point. And to top it all off: I really don't have anything to steal unless they want a 20 year old weight machine and ancient TV from the age of Dinosaurs. I don't even own a laptop!

[@xosammyb]

good for you man

[@pogiboy3571]

then you can ask the judge to subpoena your neighbors cloud just in case your security cam missed an angle if you have been broken into.

[@theadventurekidz-scienceho843]

😂😂😂

[@mel.dennis.rochelle6221]

Great video! 💪🏼 I'd just say that the motion sensors are too high up, (they should be in corners, yeah, field of view is 90°), but they need to be within 4-5ft off the ground, they'll catch body heat in a 45° angle (from where it is mounted and down). And if you've dogs that'd stay inside your home when you arm the system in away mode, better install them upside down (with the test button facing the ground, so the angle would be 45 up) so your pet won't trip the alarm. Great work with the video 👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@samfromalbuquerque7235]

Great video. Very clear instructions. Thanks.

[@dracoss8695]

Word of advise. When placing motion sensors your better off placing on a wall not facing windows. In the past IR and Lightning from storms don't go together. Facing from an outside wall may prevent false alarms.

Love the review think ill be buying one of these for my property and seems to work better than my previous ADT security smart system (some sensors were not that sensitive), would of liked to of seen more of the online system functionality though in regards to adjusting the system to personalised requirements, and receiving of mobile notification. Still good review

[@jamesscott1932]

I dumped ADT for Simply Safe more than 5 years ago! SS is less expensive, better looking, a lot less jive, and I left the many false alarms of ADT behind.

[@macysondheim]

@@jamesscott1932 don’t be ridiculous, there’s no reason for anyone to waste a bunch of money on security devices. It’s a false sense of security in the end. If you are unable to defend yourself you should exercise regularly to get in better shape or get a dog

Cheers for this! Great video! We’ve just bought our first house. When we eventually move in, I’ll definitely be considering the SimpliSafe system. Have you ever had to use the monitoring centre? If so, was it a seamless experience?

[@KA-id4wt]

All the components transmit on a very common wireles signal. A stronger signal can over ride them and the alarm wont sound.

[@filipnemeth1184]

Can the camera be used individually without the base and keypad?

[@Kruzz143]

I've never seen this advance security system. I like it. My concern is those adhesive strip. Can they hold on for a long time?

[@GeekyStuff]

Only time will tell, but they are definitely stuck on strong.

[@travisrauh]

I’ve been using SimpliSafe since they first came out in 2008. Strips work amazingly well and do indeed last. Sensors, including keypad, are very lightweight.

[@hamed-giga6876]

Install temporary, when you satisfy the system and no need to relocate, install it permanently.

I heard it is better to place the motion sensors lower down, where things actually move.

You don't have to pay subscription for this service. But you obviously lose some quirks if you dont. I pay £19.99 a month for everything. Remote view your camera, set and disarm alarm remotely through the app and other benefits. simplisafe.co.uk/professional-alarm-monitoring

[@islamicreminders3090]

@@GeekyStuff it gives you an option of 12.99 . I might get this looks really good and effective but the only problem I have with it is when the alarm goes off the hub should be outside not inside your home . How would this possibly alert other ppl.

[@garethmtanner]

@@islamicreminders3090 People don't tend to come running at the sound of a house alarm, unless you live in Gotham and Batman is having a quiet night.. the idea is the internal alarm is uncomfortable to stay close by and puts any intruder off after entering

Hello mate, very helpful video thank you.. I just bought one of these then realised you got to pay 20 quid a month for use of the app and video monitoring etc, unlike the ring system which I kinda wished I bought now, but both have their pros and cons. Did you ever find out the system could be hacked or not? As I’m worried about that..
