Sensors (and the keypad) can be mounted with included sticky tape or screws. You can use the SimpliSafe keyfob to remotely arm and disarm the system without needing to walk to the keypad. There is one especially nifty feature, though: You can set up a “Duress PIN,” which you can use if someone is threatening you to disable the alarm, just like in the movies. This is all part of the goal of keeping things as simple as possible. SimpliSafe gives you the option of naming each sensor (by choosing from preconfigured room names or by typing one in through the keypad) to help you keep things organized, but otherwise there are few configurability options.
Just follow the “Add device” instructions on the keypad (the screen can be physically depressed on each of its four sides, making navigation very intuitive), and then press a button on the sensor to pair it. If you need additional standard sensors, they’re quite affordable: just $15 for door/window sensors and $30 for motion sensors. A huge variety of additional sensors are available, including a camera ($99), glass-break sensor ($35), and even a freeze sensor ($30). In addition to the keypad, the starter kit includes the SimpliSafe base station (which contains the siren and provides voice commands, countdown beeps, and door open chirps), three door/window sensors, a motion sensor, and a key fob remote control. SimpliSafe’s keypad walks you through the basics of setup. These work in line with typical security systems: Away mode turns on all sensors, while Home mode disables any motion sensors. In addition to numeric keys and a menu button, the keypad includes dedicated controls for Off, Home, and Away modes.
Keypad? Yes: Unlike many smart home security systems on the market now, SimpliSafe uses a physical keypad that works much like a traditional alarm system as its command center.
