National Safety Month: Summer Upgrade Sweepstakes
It’s June once again, and with it comes blue skies, summer heat, and our favorite celebration - National Safety Month! Now is a great time to think about all the upgrades and ways to best secure our homes so we can worry less and fully enjoy our upcoming summer vacations and plans.
For your SimpliSafe® system, the season means thinking about more than just protecting from human intruders. Did you know that the Temperature Sensor can warn of not just freezing temperatures, but also extreme heat? It’s a great way to keep tabs on your air conditioning while you’re out and make sure that your pets (and other family members!) at home are staying nice and cool. The Water Sensor is great too, not just for watching out for flooding from burst pipes, but also for keeping your basement dry in spite of those sudden summer downpours! And let’s not forget the 2-in-1 Smoke & CO Detector, released just last year, which not only combines two life-saving devices in the same package but is also smarter than most detectors with the ability to distinguish real hazards – like actual fire and smoke – to prevent false alarms.
Of course, there’s also the Outdoor Camera, which can be upgraded with either the Power Adapter or Solar Panel, so you don’t have to worry about recharging. In the past year, we’ve even boosted responsiveness significantly with Performance Mode when the camera is plugged in, meaning it can start livestreams and recordings even faster.
You don’t have to take our word for it. Try these products and upgrades for yourself. To celebrate National Safety Month, we’re giving away three fun prize packs including:
- SimpliSafe Wireless Outdoor Camera
- Solar Panel Accessory
- Power Adapter Kit
- Outdoor Camera Mount
- SimpliSafe branded 30oz Water bottle
- SimpliSafe branded baseball cap
To participate, all you need to do is log into the forum with your SimpliSafe® account and comment below. Here’s a prompt to get you started:
How do you use your SimpliSafe® system to upgrade your home security?
We’re super excited to read all your thoughts. From the SimpliSafe® Community team, we offer a heartfelt thanks. Have a great summer!

My SS3 system does it all, from protecting the homestead against intruders to monitoring for smoke, CO, temperature, and water threats, all while providing a nice credit on our homeowner's insurance.

I currently have gen I Simplysafe system. I love it. The ease of install and support is wonderful.
However, I wanted to add some outdoor cameras to my already quite extensive system, 22 entry sensors, 4 interior cameras, 4 motion sensors, a glass break and water sensor. Imagine my disappointment when I found out the system is not backwards compatible when adding exterior lights; which zi would have bought when I purchased my system initially but none were available. I even use an entry sensor on my RV parked in the backyard. The range is amazing!
I doubt this is a comment Simplysafe wants to hear especially for entering a contest to win a contest.
I guess I will bite the bullet and upgrade my system hoping to get the 60% advertised pricing being offered currently.

We are very pleased with our SS system. The flexibility of the system and ease of use puts us at ease. We've added exterior cameras and like the fact that we can see who is at our door. Recently this presented an added benefit in that I saw a neighbor who does not use a cell phone at our door. I left a call to see what I could help him with.
And, regarding porch pirates, we had a package arrive when we were out of town. I contacted a neighbor to remove the temptation.

Our Golden Retriever has learned that the ding on our phones or iPads when the outdoor camera detects motion means it's time for him to start barking. He sounds fierce and I'm sure any person with bad intentions would change their mind about trying to enter.

Feeling safer with this system, YES. But also tell your neighbors about it too. The more systems in your neighborhood, then safer everyone will be.

We decided to get SimpliSafe for our home when they cut a main street through our quiet neighborhood making it easier for outsiders to get away quickly if they were to break in. So far, it's still been very quiet which is good. I love to use my system for travel. I have a code for my pet sitter who I can see coming and going which gives me peace of mind. The only problem I'm having is setting it in Away mode due to cats walking around. I put it in Home mode and close the door quickly, but sometimes that has backfired b/c another sensor was not quite right and the alarm would go off. Not sure how to work around this. I love the cameras and the wonderful support I get from Simplisafe.

We have been with Simplisafe for many years. The rising costs of another system caused the need for change and we are so glad we did. We are older folk and Simplisafe is just that. Simple and Safe!

Received my new system a couple of weeks ago, and doing self-install. Unfortunately, was called away for several days before completing install. Chatting with SimpliSafe to extend Practice Mode was realized. Easy and painless chat to request. I am a Q&A kind of person, and every question was promptly answered, although I know I can sometimes be excessive, but SimpliSafe entertained my calls and chats without hesitation. I am excited that I will be able to fully implemented and operationally now and have the peace of mind to be home or away with my new SimpliSafe Security system! I would enjoy winning this Summer Upgrade pack for even more security options! But will still consider add-ons in the future! Be Safe, everyone, SimpiSafe!

We just received our upgrade to Gen3 system today. We’ve had the original system for many years and looking forward to upgrading and adding cameras. Can’t wait to set up our new system. Setting up the original was so easy.

About a month ago, I was at work one afternoon when I receive a motion notification from my SimpliSafe app. I thought surely someone was breaking into my home, but when I opened the camera it was something much worse. A huge hole had opened in my ceiling and water was pouring out from the unit above. I immediately drove home to address the problem. In the time alone that it took me to get there, most of my living room ceiling had come down and inches of water were on my floor. Sadly the damage was pretty severe and I am still not able to return home, as it affected most of the rooms in my home, but I’ve told people through this entire process that SimpliSafe should have an ad about catching emergencies other that crime, because while my situation is still pretty terrible (and expensive!), it would have been a whole lot worse had I not seen the camera. My upstairs neighbor didn’t get home until 8 pm that night and I had plans to meet friends for dinner right after work. I can’t imagine what I would have come home to then. I’ll be sure to replace my system (which took quite the shower during the incident) once I get back in. Grateful for your products.

I am a new customer to SimpliSafe. I recently purchased and installed a Gen3 system. We have 32 devices connected and 5 cameras. The set-up went very well. I had a few challenges with the camera's and one temperature sensor; however, the online chat support was excellent and helping me solve the issues quickly. We chose this system because it can do it all. Looking forward to when the Smart Locks get back in stock so I can add them to our system.
