Had Simplisafe before. Being cell based, it’s dependent on cell signal. Power outages are somewhat mitigated via the base station’s back up battery, and all the non-camera sensors are battery based. Never had the Cameras.

Only bad thing was we had one motion detector that was acting crazy and almost had LE deployed over bad electronics several times. They (Simplisafe) called before dispatching the Sheriff Dept and we called them off as we had just left.

Overall, I think their stuff wasn’t bad. Other companies have you lease the equipment and the purchase cost is insane compared to Simplisafe. Or was.

Nothing beats claymore roomba.
