Yes, the Panic button on top of your SimpliSafe Keypad can be easily disabled either through the menu of the Keypad or through the SimpliSafe app. To disable that using the Keypad, use the following steps:
Press the menu button on your Keypad
Enter your Master PIN
Select Devices
Scroll to and select the Keypad that you would like to disable the Panic Button on
I came here to find information on the red button, too. This thread is 2 years old, but our new system purchased Fall 2022 directly from SimpliSafe still has no mention of the red button or its function.
Please describe, in detail, what happens when the red button is pushed. If I need it, I don’t want to be surprised.
That would be the built-in Panic Button. It functions just like the standalone Panic Button, in that pressing it will generate an immediate alarm (with siren), as well as a call from Monitoring.
You must press the button for 2 seconds to activate - to decrease accidental presses.
Yep, just figured it out. I wondered if accidentally pressing it was causing my system to alert the police, but there does not seem to be any log. Not does anyone try to contact me before the cops show up - I need to call them I guess.
That's a common complaint about SS documentation. And when you've gotten a new security system, there are no Capt. Obvious questions. For something like that, you want to make sure that you understand every aspect of it. :)
@marvic1 Go to the Simplisafe website, log into your dashboard, click on devices, go down the list to your keypad(s), on the right you will see a column named "Panic behavior", use the dropbox to select "disable". Then click save for the change to take effect. Note you do have to do this for each keypad you have before clicking save.
