The SimpliSafe Smart Lock is an attractive option for those looking for an easy way to add smart home security to their existing door locks. It features a sleek design and low price tag that undercuts most competitors.
How to Install a Simplisafe Intelligent Lock
First, you will need to remove the old deadbolt from your door and replace it by a SimpliSafe Smart Lock. Three different insert plates are available, so make sure you choose the one that matches your door's deadbolt.
Before you begin, ensure that the SimpliSafe is connected to your WiFi network. You can use an app like Wi-Fi analyzer to make sure that the two devices are on the same network and close enough for a successful pairing.
When you have confirmed that your hub and wireless network are paired, open the SimpliSafe mobile app on your phone or tablet. You will then be able to check the status on your smart lock by opening the SimpliSafe app.
Connect the wing locks to the mounting plate with the adapter provided. This is a fairly simple task, and it's important to follow the directions carefully. The smart lock won't fit properly if the wing locks aren't lined up correctly.
The thumbturn should also be checked to ensure it is still unlocked. This is crucial for a fast and smooth installation.
Slide the thumbturn over the adapter in the unlocked state and turn it slowly until the devices align properly. Once this is complete, you can slide the smart lock over the adapter and attach it to your mounting plate.
How to Lock & Unlock a SimpliSafe Intelligent Lock
The simplest way to lock and unlock your smartlock is using its PIN Pad, the SimpliSafe apps or by inserting a physical key into the hole. This method is easy to set up, and it's a great way to keep your keys safely away from your family members.
SimpliSafe can be controlled by voice. The only catch is that you'll need to be on the Interactive monitoring plan to do so.
Update your SimpliSafe Hub
As the hub and locks share a common database, they need to be calibrated at regular intervals. When the time is right, the hub will notify you and offer to perform calibration on your behalf.
Additionally, the hub might need to be updated to include new features of the SimpliSafe smart locks. It's a simple process that should be done as soon as you can, before your firmware becomes outdated.
The SimpliSafe smart lock is one of the slickest devices we've seen in the market, and it's also affordable. Although it may not offer as many features, the SimpliSafe smartlock is still a good option for those looking for an inexpensive and easy-to-use device.

Hacking is impossible for most home security systems because they do NOT contain software that can be remotely controlled. They do not allow anyone to enter your property without your consent.
If they are connected to an internet connection, however, certain home security systems may be compromised. These types of systems usually require a password to operate, which means that someone can hack them if he knows the correct password.

How To
What to look for in a Home Security Monitoring company
There are many factors you need to consider when choosing the right home security monitoring company. Make sure you have someone who is familiar with what they are doing. Ask around to find out if there are any other people who have used this service provider. If you don't hear anyone recommend them, then you shouldn't use their services. Ask family members and friends to recommend the company. This way you get honest feedback from people who actually use the services. You can also read customer reviews online. Visit their website as well as social media sites such Facebook and Twitter. Seek out customer feedback and complaints. Look for negative comments, and find out the reason they were posted. It could be an indication that something is wrong with a client.
The next step is to check references. Call up past clients and ask them how they liked the service. Are they satisfied with the work quality? Everything went according to plan. You should ensure that your previous company is reliable and trustworthy. They didn't give you a quotation and then leave without completing the job.
Next, be sure to choose an insured company. Good insurance policies will ensure that your property is covered in case of damage while you're away. They offer 24 hour emergency services, so you don't need them to be available during business hours.
Check to see if the company offers free installation or maintenance. There are some companies that charge extra for these services. It makes sense since maintaining and installing equipment takes time. Some companies only offer basic monitoring services which are not sufficient for most homeowners.
Be sure to check the prices of the company. You shouldn't be paying too much for a substandard product. Always compare apples to apples when comparing providers. If a provider charges $150 per monthly for basic monitoring, then another provider might charge $200 for the same service. Shopping around is a good way to save money.
