Do you know that feeling when you're about to leave the house and you pause to double check the locks? I used to get that feeling all the time until I got Simplisafe. Here's why I trust it. Most security systems only act after somebody's already inside. Simplisafe takes action before anything happens. Their AI powered cameras and agents keep an eye on things 24 7. Someone's hanging around your property. The agents can talk to them, activate.
Spotlights, and even call the police.
All in real time. I've had peace of mind since day one. Setting it up is a breeze and I'm honestly not very handy. And it could be done in just under an hour. Plus, there are no contracts. There are no surprise fees and plans start at just $1 a day. And if it's not for you, that's fine. They offer a 60 day money back guarantee. It's no wonder Simplisafe's been named the best home security system in the U.S. by U.S. news & World Report five years in a row. Right now is a great time to get Simplisafe because you can get 50% off a new Simplisafe system with professional monitoring and and your first month free. Go to simplisafe.com pockets that's simplisafe.com pockets. There's no safe like Simplisafe.
