Agreed SimpliSafe system is easy to install. It's a good monitoring system but for the poor quality of their video doorbell camera from internet connectivity standpoint. I did purchase it along with the Video Doorbell Camera but the camera goes offline (no live stream) with a message 'Disconnected from the internet' every 2-3 minutes. SimpliSafe attributed it to my poor Wi-Fi network when in fact I have 5 GHz-600 MBS speed bandwidth along with six Google Nest Wi-Fi routers. When I complained to SimpliSafe, they asked me to the split the Wi-Fi network into 2.4ghz and 5ghz since SimpliSafe doorbell camera works only with 2.4ghz bandwith (this they do NOT say anywhere). I did the split and connected the SimpliSafe doorbell camera to 2.4ghz Wi-Fi network but in vain. The camera went offline as ever before. They sent me a replacement camera which too had the same 'going offline every 2-3 minutes' issue. I repeatedly called SimpliSafe and asked for a good solution. They had the cheek to say I should move my internet router (which is about 10 feet away from the doorbell camera) closer to the doorbell camera. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back and I canceled my subscription service. While the rest of the SimpliSafe system works, the doorbell camera does not since it's outdated. Today's doorbell cameras support dual bandwith (2.4ghz and 5ghz) and SimpliSafe lags behind, thanks to their outdated technology. I am currently using the SimpliSafe doorbell camera without the video recording feature from the web interface (smart app disabled due to my monthly subscription cancelation) though the the camera goes offline every 2-3 minutes but then I am not paying $27.99 for the poor quality of the camera. I can't return the equipment since I am past the product return window.
Take those Duracell batteries out. Only rechargeables go in the base station and you never have to change them. Take those Duracells out. It will cause damage and corrosion in the long run!! Trust me I learned the hard way, thank god simplisafe was great to replace the base. Your welcome !:)
Antonio Lyons thank you for letting me know. And we had to replace them because we noticed that the base stations backup battery was not charging and I hooked up a volt tester to the battery and the batteries did not have any voltage.
Sad your tests got taken down but that is probably due to privacy or how they were filmed. But this system is a good system. I am really sad though that simplisafe doesn't sell their black base station and keypads anymore, but the white on this one is better than the Gen 1 version.
@@electricalsmokealarmsandmo1564oh yeah btw simplisafe discontinued the black ones for some reason, I need a black keypad still for an area in my house because everything in that room appliance and door handle is blakc
Jamestube 8439 we would have gotten the black version but we already ordered it before we made that decision. Also I will do a video on the SimpliSafe cameras.
It has to be 2 inches or closer to each other. So what I would do is hold one part of the sensor on the door and the other on the jam without sticking it to the door and test it until it can sense each other. If you can it will be better to screw them in rather than use the sticky tape on that door.
