And that includes protection from things like fires, floods, and carbon monoxide leaks. SimpliSafe has multiple types of sensors to detect everything from breaking glass to freezing temperatures. If you have a pipe about to burst or a leaky washing machine, then SimpliSafe can detect that and notify you.

SimpliSafe Home Security System Specs SimpliSafe (starting at $245) is a DIY smart home security system that's easy to set up and use, and keeps your home safe from intruders and environmental threats like fires and floods.

SimpliSafe doesn't offer a lot of smart features; it does integrate with third-party smart products, but that's as far as it goes. Still, we consider SimpliSafe as one of the top home security systems today because it's super simple yet intuitive.

Door locked. The SimpliSafe Smart Lock makes sure your door is always locked. Even if you forget. It locks your door the minute you arm your system or automatically on a timer. And unlocks it the moment you disarm your system.

Our super-small Entry Sensor was designed with a tiny magnet to detect when one opens. When the magnet moves more than two inches away from the sensor, it sounds the alarm. With professional monitoring, it alerts our monitoring center who will dispatch police if there's an emergency.

SimpliSafe alarm system packages range from $245 to $500, or you can build a customized package. You can also choose from two professional monitoring packages ranging from $19.99 to $29.99 per month.

SimpliSafe compatible third-party devices

You can use SimpliSafe without Wi-Fi if you choose a monthly monitoring plan that includes cellular service. However, you would need Wi-Fi to support any video cameras on the home security system.

The unmonitored plan is free (barring the cost of equipment itself). This plan requires users to keep track of systems themselves and provides them with access to live feed from their cameras on the SimpliSafe app.

100 devices The new SimpliSafe can have up to 100 devices programed to it.

T-Mobile for Base Stations.

Yes, you can have SimpliSafe call up to two phone numbers - called primary contacts - to verify alarms. You can add your landline and cell phone number to the primary contact list.

SimpliSafe self-monitoring If you don't want to pay a monthly fee, you can use the home security system without a monitoring plan, but going it alone limits how well the system works.

2. Choose a monitoring plan. Choose from two month-to-month professional monitoring plans: the Standard plan at $17.99 a month or the Interactive plan at $27.99 a month. You can also opt for a self-monitoring with camera recording plan, which offers limited features at a cheaper price.

According to the expert, an attacker can hide the hacking device (which can be powered by a battery) within 100 feet of the targeted system to record the PIN transmitted when the alarm is disabled. Then, with the simple push of a button on the microcontroller, the alarm can be disarmed at any time.
