The install takes a bit longer than their video would have you believe, but that's no surprise. Sure you can peel and stick and put these up in no time, but you might rethink that. I am not sure this tape will be so non-stick and I found it better, for most parts, to use the tiny screws provided. So it does take a bit of playing around, finding the right install spot, etc. For the motion detector...well that one needs some design help...the tape is on the flat of the corner...meaning you can't peel and stick into a corner, only on a flat wall. The screws, if you choose to use them, are on the 'sides' of the corner so you could install in a corner, but those tiny screws are never going to stick in drywall, so you really need to rig some kind of wooden corner base to get that thing to work in a corner. But for me, I had it on a high shelf for a couple of days to test it and it kept giving false alarms so I gave up and stuck it in a cabinet (i.e. not using it).
My first model came with some serious issues...but their customer support was great and they rushed me out some new parts and helped me set those up. My only complaint is their limited hours...they close at 5 pm central time, so you really need to arrange to be at home during business hours if you need their help.
You can get other parts from their website and I do plan to get some of those...e.g. I think the system should include a glass break (how many thieves actually open a window anymore? Smash and grab is more common, I think). I also want to add on the temperature alert, fire alert, and perhaps flood alert. They don't cost much to add and give a peace of mind in case the furnace goes out or something.
I also agree with the one reviewer who said the monitoring company is a regular professional one that the big guys would use...I never asked them specifically, but they seem to be a regular alarm monitoring company just like the ones I've had with expensive "professional" systems.
I highly recommend this! Great for peace of mind without the contracts. And you can take it with you if you move.
I ordered this alarm system on Friday, I paid for the overnight saturday delivery option through Amazon and the system shipped and was delivered as promised and as paid for. I started to unbox the system and got stuck on step 1... remove the base unit from the box and remove the battery activation strip. The base unit I received had no battery activation strip. I plugged it in and the batteries were dead. These are rechargeable batteries but they thing even after left plugged in won't work and hold a charge.
So at this point I have a bunch of pieces of plastic around the house and nothing to do with them.
I tried to contact simplisafe via the customer service number and conveniently their offices are closed on Saturdays.
Initial impressions, this is a bad system based on the fact I can't use it, at all. Now, if they "fix" my issues then perhaps things will turn around, but I expect reimbursement for my Saturday delivery and new batteries to be shipped to me before that happens.
---UPDATE 12/2/13---
I purchased new batteries at my local store and got the alarm working. Simplisafe believes that based upon that the power adapter is bad and not the batteries they shipped. They are overnighting me a new power adapter and have given me a free month of monitoring for the trouble. I'll do a full review update once the new adapter arrives.
--UPDATE 12/30/13---
I forgot to come back and update my review, my apologies! The new adapter arrived a few days after simplisafe shipped it (shipped it on a weekend so as expected took a few extra days). The new adapter fixed my issues and I have not had a single issue since. The sensors are mounted on my doors, I even was able to mount one to my garage door so when it opens it triggers the chime inside.
Simplisafe stepped up and fixed my issue, diagnosed what I thought was dead batteries correctly as a dead power supply. They gave me credit for a month of service for the inconvenience and really have been a great company to have protecting my house. No complaints at all and I am working on getting more adapters from them to totally replace my old ADT system. Thanks Simplisafe for the great service and fixing a broken power adapter.
