SimpliSafe Alarm System – Giveaway & Review!

by Christie Bisbee on August 28, 2013

If you are looking for a way to keep your family safe without breaking the bank, you’ll really want to consider SimpliSafe Home Security Systems. I recently installed one (yes you heard right – I installed it :)) and I am thrilled! I had been with a big name traditional alarm company for years and I felt like I was being held hostage by them. Plus the monitoring was expensive, I had to have home phone service and they charged outrageous fees for service calls.

SimpliSafe was the solution to my home security dilema! It’s easy to use and I love that it alerts me via text and e-mail when the alarm has been turned on or off or I lose power. And because it runs off cellular I can turn the alarm on or off from my cell phone using their app. It’s AWESOME!

Plus if you choose monitoring (which I did) there’s no contract and you can cancel at anytime. It’s a great way to keep your family protected! Plus they have a Love it…Or Return it for a full refund guarantee.

Here are some of my favorite features:

*Battery Life – SimpliSafe Sensors run on lithium batteries, ensuring your security system is running even when the electricity grid fails – up to two days. Plus you don’t have to think about replacing them for 5 years and you can buy them at Walgreens!

*Portable – You can take it with you when you move! You can even order extra sensors if you move into a larger home.

*Installation – You install it yourself! I was able to do it easily and all in under 30 minutes.

*Multiple Users – You can have multiple codes – so each family member can have their own and you can track activity on your cell or your computer. Plus you can give one to the pet sitter, cleaning person or anyone else that needs to access your home. You’ll know exactly when they turned the alarm on or off.

*Alert Only Mode – You can set sensors to “alert only” so it will let you know via text or e-mail when a sensor was triggered without setting off the alarm. You can use it to alert you if certain parts of your home are accessed like medicine cabinets, file drawers or cookie jars. 😉

GIVEAWAY: One lucky Wild for Wags reader will win a SimpliSafe Economy package, that includes 3 Entry Sensors, 1 Motion Sensor, 1 Keypad, 1 Basestation, 1 Yard Sign and 1 Free Month of Interactive Monitoring. That’s over a $290 value! Plus you can use the promotional code “SAFENOW” to save 5% off any total purchase.

HOW TO ENTER: You can enter UP to (3) times.
1) Leave a comment letting us know how a security system would help your family.
2) Follow Simplisafe on Facebook or Twitter.
3) Follow Wildforwags on Facebook or Twitter.

I’ll pick the lucky winner on Tuesday, September 3rd at midnight. Good Luck! 🙂

Jaime August 29, 2013 at 1:46 pm: Just moved to a new house a few months ago and come to find out the people that were here before moved cuz of the neighbors. So when we got here we found out the hard way about who they were when they tried attacking my son. Well police have been involved and told us to get cameras and a security system because he knows what these neighbors are capable of doing from the past people and what they went thru. So this would really help out then all we will need is the cameras.
Kristine August 29, 2013 at 5:09 pm: We have had a lot of breakins on the street recently, this would help me feel safer at night.

Cathy B*****y September 2, 2013 at 9:41 am: Love this new system that works on cell service! This would so help us. We need something that works via cell as we also want to cut the costs of not having a home phone… the fact that you can set it up yourself is amazing and practical. In todays day and age we should all have something like this for that added sense of protection. Also love that in case the electricity goes out that it has the back up battery plan. And the added bonus of being able to not have a sound alarm but to have it go to your cell if you want is a good option too. though I would prefer the sound alarm, just in case I didnt hear my cell!
This would be wonderful to review and use !
