TLDR - if you have an apartment or small house, then SimpliSafe is fine. If you live in something bigger, want to mount a sensor or camera further than 50 feet away, or already have an Alexa or Ring Doorbell, get the Ring alarm instead.

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.

You get an even better deal if you get the 10-piece (including 1 camera) for $99. Item number 1929332

Edit: 1929332 is no longer discounted.

I bought this unit in the spring time and it's the worst electronics product I bought in years. Firmware is full of bugs and extremely hard to diagnose setup issues. Good luck with any type of good support. At least the company itself admits to firmware bugs. It's a nice paperweight.

I've had the exact opposite experience. Set up was super easy have not had a single issue. Cameras have been great , sensors work fine. Have not had any disconnection issues.

I see so for the same price you got 20pcs rather than 13 pcs, What do you do with extra base station & keypad?

Firmware bugs that effect what? My system has been rock solid reliable for 3 years now. Zero issues with mine, never noticed any update breaking anything, did not expect it to work this well honestly lol

I have had SS for 10 years, started with their original base station and upgraded to this version about 6 years ago (they replaced everything base station, sensors, keypads, for free) It has been very stable and I have the only complaint I have had in those 10 years is that their software would not take my extremely long WI-FI password and I had to dumb it down for it. With that said my Wireless network has also been rock solid in those 10 years with me migrating for Ubiquiti to Mesh about 3 years ago. I am not sure how relevant that is because I believe only the base station connects via Wi-Fi and the other gear connects to the base station directly. I maybe wrong on that last point I am sure if I am someone will correct me. With that all said their first gen cameras were junk I can't speak to the new one as I don't use them. For the devices I use rechargable batteries and I recharge the whole system every 4 months.
