SimpliSafe is offering The Independent’s readers an exclusive 50% discount on its home security systems, plus a free outdoor bell box with the use of a specific voucher code. This deal provides a significant saving on a range of kits designed for various property sizes, from apartments to large family homes.
System Overview
SimpliSafe kits center around a central control hub and keypad, with the ability to add multiple sensors and cameras for complete coverage. Options include:
- Starter: Ideal for flats and smaller homes.
- Warwick: Best suited for families and medium-sized properties.
- Edinburgh: Designed for larger homes requiring extensive security.
The systems incorporate indoor/outdoor cameras, door/window sensors, motion detectors, and even leak sensors, providing comprehensive protection. All components can be managed via a smartphone app, with optional professional monitoring available.
Installation and Flexibility
SimpliSafe prioritizes DIY installation, allowing users to set up the system in minutes without needing professional help. Components attach with adhesive strips or screws (optional), with some sensors requiring no installation at all.
The system is also highly expandable : additional cameras, sensors, and other devices can be added at any time through the app or keypad.
Monitoring Options
While SimpliSafe functions without a monitoring subscription, its full potential is unlocked with a paid plan. Without monitoring, the alarm triggers during a break-in but lacks remote control and video recording capabilities. Professional monitoring is strongly recommended for maximum security.
Renters and Returns
Tenants should confirm with their landlords before installation, as some sensors require adhesive mounting. SimpliSafe offers a 60-day return policy with free postage for refunds, and all products are backed by a one-year hardware warranty.
SimpliSafe’s combination of affordability, DIY setup, and scalable protection makes it a popular choice for homeowners and renters alike. The exclusive 50% discount further enhances its value, offering a cost-effective solution for comprehensive home security.
