How to protect your whole home
When it comes to home security, you need protection for every window, room and door. For peace of mind, you’ll want even more.
Whole-home protection by SimpliSafe defends against intruders, fires, water damage and medical emergencies — all monitored 24/7 by professionals ready to dispatch emergency services.
Here are a few essentials to add to your order:
- Video doorbell – Want to see who’s hanging around your front door? Have a package being delivered and need to keep an eye out for porch pirates? Now you can watch over it all — without leaving the couch — with the SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro. You’ll receive alerts on your phone for all activity out front. See what’s happening, night or day, in crisp wide-angle HDR video and even talk to guests without getting up to answer the door.
- Entry sensors – Defend your windows and doors with easy to install entry sensors. The magnet can be placed up to two inches from the sensor, so sensors fit on all types of doors and windows.
- Smart locks – The majority of break-ins happen through an unlocked entry. The SimpliSafe Smart Lock ensures 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. All without a phone or key.
- HD camera – Watch live HD video and audio 24/7 for free from your smartphone, tablet or computer with SimpliSafe’s security camera that includes intruder and motion alerts.
Easy to order and install
Since we’re all doing our part to help flatten the curve, the last thing you need is to meet with a salesperson face-to-face to find a great home security system. Then, after choosing a system, having a technician come to your home to install it.
With SimpliSafe, you don’t have to worry. It’s easy to find the package you need online, and installation couldn’t be easier. No drilling, no tools and it takes just minutes.
