Top SimpliSafe Alternatives

Home automation is the new buzz, and it really should be. Not only digital home automation improves the comfort and convenience of a normal house, but it also revolutionizes its security quotient. SimpliSafe is a very good example of such a revolutionary application of home automation in home security.

It uses a network of several monitoring appliances, all connected to a main central server. From here, a powerful algorithm will be used to monitor suspicious activities in or around the house without breaching the privacy of the users. SimpliSafe is designed to be extremely dependable, with automatic police dispatches in cases of emergencies. It also covers a whole lot of emergencies, not just home invasions.    

Automation based security in a powerful package

SimpliSafe uses an array of sensors and cameras, along with a central server acting as the control unit for the peripheral devices, to automate the home security. There are several types of sensors in the package, all suitable for the detection of various types of hazards, including fire hazards and water hazards.

It has a water sensor to prevent leaks from escalating to structural damage, a temperature sensor to warn against extreme temperatures in both the hot and cold spectrum, a Glassbreak sensor, which, as the name suggests, detects breaking of window panes, and last but not the least, a motion sensor designed to detect motion of hostile entities.

Smart DIY security permitting fast action

Often with traditional home security, it is too late until the burglary is detected, so the police get dispatched much later. Also, since there is little evidence related to the person who orchestrated the burglary, it takes years to catch the convicted. With SimpliSafe however, police get dispatched directly after getting the see the evidence, which not only prevents false alarms but also helps with the arresting and item recovery processes.

It uses a network of high-definition cameras that can capture clear photos and footage of the scene. All these can be easily installed by the user in the most appropriate places too.
