Night vision

Everything is great except color on night vision. Not really clear, sharp, etc.

Hi Timothy,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for the kind words on the rest of the system. Night vision clarity can usually be tuned up with a few small adjustments, and we have some guides on lighting, positioning, and settings at support.simplisafe.com that should help sharpen the picture. If anything in there doesn't get you where you want to be, let us know and we'll dig in further.

I wouldn't recommend this product to my worst enemy. You would be better off just lighting your money on fire.

Smart lock jams or dies constantly. Cameras never work when you want them to. Prices continue to just go up with no improved service.

Hi Hutch,

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. Reliability is exactly what you should be able to count on from your security system, and we hear your frustration with your smart lock and cameras. We've reached out to request your account details so a senior technician can take a closer look and follow up with you directly.

The latest helpful function of the SimpliSafe app is a notice on my phone for a one touch setting of the alarm when I get a certain distance away from the house. I forget to set it a lot, so this new function is terrific.

SimpliSafe has been just ok…the service is reliable but it’s pricey and the doorbell camera is not great. I’ve had my outdoor camera replaced 5 times…thankfully, I’m a premium subscriber and they replace it with no issues. IMO Ring is better followed by Blink and then Google Nest. Wyze is also a good one. SimpliSafe is unique with monitoring but I want great hardware too!

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for such a fair and honest review, and we appreciate you sharing your account details with us. Reliable hardware matters — especially when it's working alongside your monitoring — and we hear your feedback on the cameras and doorbell. We're escalating your account to our senior team so they can review the notes and details around your five camera replacements. Understanding exactly what happened helps us learn and improve, so this becomes less common for customers going forward.

Good security system, expensive for add ons

Overall, a very good security system. Easy to install, battery life is good and it does make us feel secure.
Our largest concern is the more recent costs for add on “parts”. $110 for an outdoor camera is excessive. Even on sale it’s just too much. We would love to continue to add to the system but the costs are just too high.
