Long version:
I've had SimpliSafe for many many years, and I really like the App and the monitored security service, but I don't recommend it for anyone with a medium or larger sized house. They use a proprietary wireless frequency and do not offer an extender. That works fine for apartments or small houses, but any sensor that is more than 50 feet away or has to pass through a lot of walls is going to struggle to stay connected to the base. I had to modify two sensors and add extra length to the antenna in order to make it work at my place.
When it came time to buy a system for my mom's place, I went with Ring instead. They sell an extender that you can use to improve the signal wherever you need it. The doorbell camera and integration with Alexa are nice features too. They also have a "Pro" version that incorporates an eero router and can provide backup Internet service if your primary ISP goes down. Overall, they keep seeming to make improvements while SS is stuck with the same complaints about wireless signal strength.
Edit: 1929332 is no longer discounted.
