The Base Station is the heart of your SimplySafe system. It’s a 10.5-inch futuristic cylindrical white cone that wouldn’t look out of place. Place it right in the middle of your house and you’re in business. The base station is fitted with an 85 decibel siren, which deters potential thieves from entering.

With the SimplySafe Interactive plan, you can even remotely control your entire home security system via the SimplySafe iOS and Android apps. For larger homes, add additional protective sensors such as entry sensors, motion sensors and glass break sensors as needed.

SimpliSafe’s customizable home security packages got even better with the addition of its wireless camera, called the SimpliCam. These records in HD video, are always on the lookout and use motion sensors to alert you to any potential intruders.
