Simplisafe is a home security system that delivers, and gives us peace of mind. That’s priceless.What I love about Simplisafe is that it's great for every stage of life. Renting? No worries, you won't need drills. Homeowners can rest assured that there are no sneaky fees or contracts. They meet you where you are.Plus, they're proactive. Once your home is broken into, that shatters your sense of peace and security. Simplisafe seeks to prevent that from even happening. If their agents catch a lurker, they switch on the spotlights and tell the guy to beat it. No break in, no worries. There's a reason CNEt named them the best home security system of 25.
