About
SimpliSafe is the closest like-for-like replacement for a contract-based provider such as Vivint. You buy the base station and sensors outright, install them yourself with adhesive mounts in about an hour, and choose whether to add professional monitoring on a month-to-month basis or self-monitor for free with phone alerts. Because nothing is financed, there is no early termination balance, and the whole system packs into a box when you move.
Pros
- +No contract — equipment is owned outright
- +Monitoring is optional and cancellable month to month
- +DIY install in about an hour with adhesive mounts
- +Easy to pack up and move
Cons
- −Cameras and cloud recording need a paid plan
- −Sensor design is plain compared with premium systems
