To help prevent false alarms, the SimpliSafe® system comes with its Exit and Entry Delays.

The Exit Delay is the amount of time you have to exit your home or business before the system is armed and your sensors are active. While the Entry Delay is the amount of time you have to disarm your system after a sensor has been triggered. You can make adjustments to your Exit and Entry Delays at any time using the SimpliSafe® Mobile App.
