SimpliSafe Home Security
Cameras, smart locks, entry and motion sensors — the Simplisafe Home Security System keeps you covered the inside out. Its collection of devices doesn't just alert you of an intruder, they also have 24/7 Professional Monitoring that contacts to the police. They provide eyewitness accounts including the invader's whereabouts, if they're armed, and what they're up to, so the police can dispatch faster than a non-verified alarm. But their security isn't only about intruders. The system can also protect your home from other threats like fires, carbon monoxide, and water damage.
