Studying true crime tells us that sometimes, the worst can happen. There’s real danger out there, and you never know when it can strike within your own home.

The big problem with traditional home security systems is that they react after an intruder is already breaking in or inside. After your safety and space has already been violated. That’s why we trust Simplisafe to protect our home. And you can too — Murder Sheet listeners are going to get a great deal during Simplisafe’s biggest sale of the year, getting 60% off when you go to Simplisafe dot com slash MSHEET.

Our Simplisafe home security system is proactive. When your system detects potential criminals outside your residence, live agents are on it. They will confront potential criminals before they even break in, to let them know someone’s watching. That’s what Active Guard Outdoor Protection is all about. You don’t have to see any alerts. Monitoring agents take care of everything for you, confronting the intruders with the news that police are on the way, flashing spotlights, and sounding loud sirens. Plus, they have a 60 day money-back guarantee, so there’s no risk to you trying it out for yourself.

That innovativeness is why we’ve used Simplisafe for years. We trust them to protect ourselves as well as our dog and executive producer Lani. As true crime podcasters, we know all too well how important — how live-saving — a home security system can be. Our home is where we relax. Where we work. Where we sleep at night. We want to feel protected all the time, because we know all the scary stories. And we trust Simplisafe to prevent those kinds of things from happening to us.
