Simplify Your Safety

A home security system can give you peace of mind, but installation is costly and permanent. SimpliSafe isn’t. Any homeowner or apartment dweller can install this innovative new security system in minutes and relocate it when it’s time to move. The system uses a cellular wireless connection to stay in contact with SimpliSafe’s monitoring service, so you don’t need a dedicated phone line or hardwired components. And there’s no lengthy contract, either.

SimpliSafe is the brainchild of Eleanor and Chad Laurans, who saw the need for a home security system that’s specifically geared for apartments, urban homes, and sites where you wouldn’t want to install a permanent security system. Their starter kit includes a base station, wireless keypad, entry sensors for protecting windows and doors, and a keychain remote to turn your alarm on and off. You can expand the system with optional add-ons including motion detectors and a panic button. All the components arrive pre-programmed, and the keypad and sensors come with peel-and-stick adhesive strips so they’re ready to be mounted — no drills or screws required.

Since the SimpliSafe setup is so easy and there are no long-term contracts, it’s no hassle to outfit a new graduate’s first off-campus apartment, no matter how short the lease is. And back at the homestead, you won’t have to build a moat around your home to make it safer.
