Securing Your Home
Securing your home is a priority for many homeowners. Having the right security system in place can help keep you, your family, and your possessions safe. One of the most popular systems on the market today is SimpliSafe. This system is simple to install and provides an easy way to protect your home from burglars and intruders alike.
Installing the SimpliSafe devices is easy and straightforward, even for those who have never installed a security system before. All you need to do is choose where you want each device placed around your property, plug them in or set them up wire-free, turn them on, and register them with the SimpliSafe monitoring app or website. Once everything has been set up correctly, you’ll be able to monitor your home’s security from anywhere at any time.
Step 1: Unpack Device
Installing a SimpliSafe home security system can seem intimidating, but with the right preparation, it can be done in no time. The first step is to unpack all of your devices and ensure that you have all parts necessary for installation.
Before you begin unpacking, take a moment to check that all components are present. Your pack should include at least one Base Station, one Keypad and several devices like motion sensors and window/door sensors. You’ll also need an internet connection and power source for the Base Station. Once you’ve verified everything is there, open each device’s packaging and lay out the pieces on a flat surface. This will make it easier to identify which piece goes where during installation later on.
Step 2: Set Up Base Station
If you’ve purchased a SimpliSafe home security system, congratulations! You are about to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is secure and protected. The next step in the installation process is to set up the Base Station, which will act as the hub of your wireless security system.
You should begin by plugging in the Base Station into an outlet near your router. This will help ensure consistent connection between all of your devices and allow you to monitor them remotely via SimpliSafe’s app. Next, connect the Base Station to your router using an ethernet cable. Then, wait for it to power on before pressing and holding down its “test” button until you hear three beeps — this means that it has successfully synced with your Wi-Fi network.
Step 3: Place Entry Sensors
Installing a security system is an important part of keeping your home and family safe. After setting up the Base Station in Step 2, it’s time to place entry sensors throughout your home. Entry sensors are designed to detect unauthorized entry, such as when someone opens a door or window. Here is how to correctly install these devices in your home.
First, choose which doors and windows will be outfitted with an entry sensor. For optimal security coverage, we recommend placing one on all exterior doors, as well as any windows that can be easily accessed from the outside. Once you have determined the locations for the sensors, use the included adhesive strips to stick each one onto its respective door or window frame. Make sure that each sensor is firmly attached and placed directly above or below its corresponding door handle or window sash to ensure proper operation of the device.
Step 4: Place Motion Sensor
Step 4 of installing your SimpliSafe devices is to place the motion sensor. This device is a key component that works with other components to detect any movement within the vicinity. Proper placement is essential in order to maximize its effectiveness. The optimal spot should be in a corner where the sensor can have an unobstructed view and no objects nearby that could set false alarms. To mount, peel off the back adhesive, press firmly onto the wall, and then use two screws provided for extra security. Ensure that it’s not too high or low on the wall, as this will affect how well it picks up motion and may lead to frequent false alarms if placed too low or too close to walls. It’s also important to avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources like radiators or ovens because this could cause overheating of the device and eventual damage.
Step 5: Connect to WiFi
In the fifth and final step of installing your SimpliSafe devices, you’ll need to connect them to WiFi. You’ll have the choice of connecting them via either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network. It is recommended that you use the 2.4GHz for better compatibility with other devices, but if your router supports 5GHz connections then that may be a better option for faster speeds.
For those who are unfamiliar with how to connect their devices to WiFi, it’s actually quite simple. First, find the connection button on your device and press it until it starts blinking rapidly. Then open up your router settings page on a computer or mobile device and look for an option called “add new device” or something similar. Once you click this link, enter in any information required (if applicable) and select either the 2.
Step 6: Activate System
Installing your SimpliSafe devices is only the first step in securing your home. For complete protection, you must activate the system. Step 6 of this installation guide will walk you through how to activate your SimpliSafe security system.
To activate the system, all you need to do is visit the SimpliSafe website and enter your activation code. You can also use their mobile app or call customer service if that’s easier for you. Once activated, you will be prompted to create a password and account so that you can easily manage your security settings from anywhere at any time.
