Lack of true concern when needing support.

Company has gone downhill since I originally got them about 10 years ago. Higher cost for the exact same service. Customer support is only available via a phone call; no email support for minor concerns, adding any additional equipment to your existing system is no longer available in your customer portal, you have to call. Speaking to customer support is just talking to a robot reading a script. Supervisors do not have any true concern. Explain an issue no matter how small or big and all you get is a lack of true concern and "um hum" as a response. They just don't care! On response to adding equipment in the web portal: No You Can't! It use to be there and now it is gone. It is still available in the app. Fix your website!

Hi George,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that your experience over time has felt like a step backward. As a long-time customer, your perspective carries a lot of weight, and we want you to know that we do care about what you’re sharing here.

We understand how important it is to feel heard and supported, and it’s concerning to hear that your interactions have felt scripted or lacking in genuine engagement. That’s not the experience we aim to provide.

We also want to clarify a few things that may help. You are able to add equipment through your customer portal as well as directly on SimpliSafe.com. If you prefer written communication, we do offer chat support through our website and the SimpliSafe mobile app. You can also reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram, or through the SimpliSafe Community.

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to connect with us in whatever way works best for you.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this, and we hope to improve your experience moving forward.

Simplisafe is simple to install

I just installed Simplisafe in my new home. We had it in the old house and I forgot how easy it is to install and how intuitive it is when getting started. It just works!

After purchasing a new series 2 outdoor…

After purchasing a new series 2 outdoor camera, and solar panel several weeks ago...still having issues with solar panel keeping battery charged. Simplisafe has sent me a new battery, solar panel and recently a new camera....still not keeping battery charged. I have to replace battery at least once a week to keep online.
Customer service reps are hard to understand and make me repeat the situation over and over again...they don't seem knowledgeable of the product they represent. Very frustrating considering I have 2 other outdoor cameras that run off of solar panels that don't give me any issues with batteries dying at all since installing them years ago! These are also simplisafe cameras , batteries and solar panels...1st series. Maybe simplisafe should stick with original cameras and give up on series 2 products.

Hi Ray,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry for the ongoing frustration this has caused, especially after going through multiple replacements without seeing an improvement. We can absolutely understand how disappointing that is, particularly when your previous generation cameras have been working reliably for years.

We also apologize for the experience you’ve had with support. Having to repeat yourself and not feel confident in the guidance you’re receiving only adds to the frustration, and that’s not the level of service we aim to provide.

One thing we’d recommend checking is the connection between the solar panel and the camera. Please make sure the solar panel power adapter is pushed firmly into the camera so it is fully snug and secure, as a loose connection can impact charging performance.

If the issue continues, we’d really like the opportunity to take a deeper look into this with you and make sure we get to the root of the problem.

We appreciate your patience and your honest feedback.

We've had the system for many years now. I am very satisfied. The replacements are free. I add more items from time to time. When I can't figure something out, they are very helpful on the phone. Very happy with all the products.
