Who’s is right for?
- Households looking for a comprehensive and flexible security system
Provider overview
SimpliSafe is one of the UK’s leading home security brands, offering a variety of systems to choose from. If you’re in the market for ready-made packages with flexible monitoring plans, SimpliSafe is the way to go. All packages are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant smart home ecosystems.
The Tower from SimpliSafe is a top-notch security package that doesn’t require any additional equipment. One standout feature is the option to choose between self- or professional monitoring. We’ve named it our top choice for self-monitoring because it includes features that other brands typically charge for. For example, you’ll get app notifications, live camera feed access, and remote system control at no extra cost.
What’s in the package?
The Tower provides indoor and outdoor protection for your home, all connected through the Base Station. With two entry sensors for front and back doors, SimpliSafe sets itself apart from the competition. The equipment offers wide field of view coverage, with the indoor camera boasting a 120-degree FOV and the outdoor camera featuring a 140-degree FOV with night vision.
We’re impressed by the feature-rich keypad, which can alert you to security events and open windows when paired with entry sensors. The motion sensor is also noteworthy for its 10-metre range, 90-degree FOV, and ability to distinguish between human and pet movements.
App and monitoring
The SimpliSafe app and monitoring services are crucial components of the system. The Tower (and other SimpliSafe packages) excels in these areas. With the app, you can remotely control your system, view live camera feeds, receive security notifications, and more.
Users can opt for self- or professional monitoring with two flexible plans starting at just 53p per day. Professional monitoring provides round-the-clock security support, with the option for emergency services dispatch if needed.
Our verdict
SimpliSafe’s The Tower package is a comprehensive home security solution that doesn’t require additional equipment. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option, it offers high-quality equipment, advanced features, and flexible monitoring plans. For those looking for top-notch security without breaking the bank, we recommend considering SimpliSafe’s The Essentials package.
