This is a gem of a video! I'll add to your comments about the signage with this anecdote: I was remodeling the house my wife and I owned, and it was my wife's habit to put out a security system sign, despite the fact we didn't have a system. One day a guy in a nice polo shirt with a company name I didn't know came to the door trying to sell me security products, and kept glancing around trying to see a control pad. He was asking very specific questions about the hardware I was using possibly to make a sales comparison, but also possibly because he was doing reconnaissance. I stopped him cold and said: "As a security professional, you of all people should know that it is foolish to discuss your security posture with a perfect stranger." He nodded and said "have a good day," and left. Who knows if he was actually a salesman, but either way he was trained to know when the conversation was over.

Unfortunately, most of them talk to servers in odd places like China and Singapore in order for you to see the cameras on your phone when you're outside your home network.

PS unless its your cousin or neighbor- which it won't be - having a picture of burglar is of little use as the police get hundreds of suspect pics a week - your pic won't be on CNN anytime soon so if you don't know them it won't help. Also most all burgers will be gone before a proper monitored system has the police arrive at their quickest possible time. You calling 911 and explaining and then police dispatched will as many people find out be way to late and again all you have is video of your house being ransacked for 4 minutes and then them taking off long before the police or you arrive. Seen lots of sad people in 30 years you've been warned proceed at your own risk.

@phuc ewe Hah always the best videos.

I was a garage door tech for nearly a decade. Crosstalk and interference can be a PITA. Not to mention all the different remotes and shady neighbors. I've went to program remotes and caught neighbors programming their own remotes to the customers door. I had a customer who's door would operate phantomly. Our first suspect was it having older circuitry that had been superseded post 9/11 and them living near a armory. It's a easy fix with certain brands of garage door openers. Swap the board and controls with newer ones to eliminate potential interference. I even used a wall control pad that had a night lock feature. It didn't work, even when it was activated. One of the bigger issues with this is the house was alarmed. Aside from the obvious issue of having your garage open itself up it also causes issues with alarm companies, insurance and police. The whole time I was working on this problem I asked if the family had any tech that could be causing it. Specifically if the kid was into tech hobbies because he had a fairly advanced understanding of electrical components for his age. I was hanging around one evening during the timeframe it typically happened and witnessed it occur. I had wiped the remotes and disconnected the wall control. It still happened. I was becoming irritated and about ready to give up. I walked outside the garage in the driveway and lit up a cigarette. While I was standing there it did it again. I was looking around and behind me I noticed a large pole antenna mounted outside of the neighbor's house by a second story window covered with tinfoil. The nuthouse next door had a illegally amplified makeshift base station setup. You could actually hear it outside between the houses. Dude would come home, do meth and play with the radio. Also come to find out everyone around him had the same issue and quit using their openers. He was emitting so much radiation it was messing with all kinds of things. So if you see the retard antennas around town you have to ask yourself what are the odds you have a tweaker zapping everything around them.

Remote garage door openers used a simple RF carrier signal to open/close doors in the 70s. As a young trouble maker in my early teens, I used to ride my bike up and down the block opening countless garage doors by pressing the remote button and adjusting the tuning slug in the remote. It was a lot of fun at the time!

I recently had a guy come to my door claiming to be selling alarm systems. I told him I already have one and he asked what brand, to which I responded "You don't need to know that." Whether you have SimpliSafe or any other brand, I don't think it's a good idea to advertise that on a sign. You can have a sign that says your house has an alarm, but don't say what kind. Exploits like this are always popping up and especially one this cheap could be easily taken advantage of.

While we're on the subject of cheap worthless security products- All of those "consumer" walmart-grade cameras like Nest or Ring suffer from the same issues. They're designed for technically-incompetent people, they offer very little ability to customize them, and overcharge you for the most basic features (like 24/7 recording). They're kind of like iPhones in that regard- decent physical cameras but with horrible software that limits what you can do with them. Anyone with a little electronics knowledge can disable a Nest cam for a few bucks just like he does in this video without even going in the house. Also cloud recording is BS, and is just an upsell they can hit you with a monthly subscription fee for. As soon as you cut the wifi signal the cloud recording is dead. So what if the system sends you a text? All I have to do as a burglar is knock out your internet a few times each day for a week and then on the 6th day I guarantee you won't be running home to check the crappy SimpliSafe system that's been sending you texts all week. I can hide a powerful wifi jammer in the bushes outside your house and program it to do this a few times a day without any outside control. Any security system that is WiFi based is a joke. Anyone serious about their security needs hardwired IP cameras and local recording with redundancy. Preferably a physical SD card in each camera as a backup- so the burglar can't simply cut your internet cable and then steal your DVR.

I run a simplisafe facebook group and I have made everyone aware of this hack. I even bought the same remote and it does work...but it only works best if you know exactly where the sensors are. From my testing, if you didn't hold the remote directly against the OUTSIDE of the door, exactly where the sensor was mounted, I didn't get in without setting it off. That said, I also did remove my SS yard signs, and I recommended that everyone else do the same. I could imagine at someone with a stronger power signal 433 MHz device could easily defeat any any entry signal much more effectively, but then you run the hazard of tripping the wireless interference notification. I was barely able to trigger the signal with that tiny remote even being within inches or feet from the base station. This is a great video no doubt. I love your channel!

Best way to avoid it is to blend in and/or be as low key as possible. An alarm and/or theft deterrent is best when the thief doesn't know its there or is so low key it makes most common thieves look for an easier target and most professionals move on to a potentially more lucrative mark.

We weren't able to do any tech support so we would have to transfer them to the customer support number which is not open 24/7.

I have literally never seen anyone who makes such videos. A lot of information taught directly without much hassle in short videos. And also solutions to counteract. Props to you for being a selfless master in your field. Greets from Germany.

Two huge flaws in Simplisafe's design are related. First, the sensors only transmit once in the blind, meaning they just send the alert once and don't receive an acknowledgement from the base that the alert was received. If anything prevented the base from getting the alert, such as interference or a weak signal due to a sensor on the far side of a house, you're screwed. Hopefully you'll also have some motion sensors inside that might pick up what the door/window sensor missed. Second, the same thing happens when the base sends the alert via cellular to their monitoring system... anything causes that one transmission to not go through and nobody knows your house was just broken into or it is about to go up in flames from a fire. I confirmed this with a support person from Simplisafe after suspecting it based on occasional missed alerts.

Great job. I already doubted Simplisafe when they started advertising with KZreadrs.

I'll be honest I disagree. He isn't wrong about the things you mentioned but the way he is using the system to demonstrate a flaw is not accurate at all. Do you know any home security system that tells you to install all the sensor, base, and keypad within 1 foot of each other? That's not how it's done. Did you know the motion sensor he has in the video is disabled when using home mode which he uses exclusively? Did you know that you have to change the settings for the keypad to start beeping when a sensor is breached in home mode? By default the system just goes off when a sensor is breached in home mode because it's meant to be for when your in your home and don't expect anyone to be going in and out like at night. In that situation why would the system beep to give you time to put in the pin? Did you know that away mode works the exact way he has changed the settings in home mode to work? Why would he be using home mode when using away mode would require no changes to settings for the purposes of this demonstration? Because in away mode the motion sensor is on and he probably kept triggering the alarm via the motion sensor during the shoot so he turned it to home mode so it wouldn't go off. So how is any of that accurate when it's in the wrong context? It's a self installed and self maintained system. Which means it would be very smart to read the manuals and make sure you understand them and if you have any questions about it you should call them. They would be happy to explain it to you and clarify. I did and now I understand this video is nonsense.

That way, it’d regularly send a test message and check for acknowledgment from the sensor and if not received, sound the alarm, and if the sensor was triggered when it wasn’t connected, as soon as the connection is reestablished, it’d send the signal to sound the alarm, regardless of the current state.

It may make the battery life suck but that is the only obvious way of negating the problem in the video. Essentially you need the connection to fail safe.

what system are you going to buy now?

Never thought a Locksmith would be teaching Electronic Warfare

Oh, I do love those yard signs. Walking around the neighborhood I see signs for an outfit that no longer exists. It got bought out 6-7 years ago (I know, at the time I was working for an IT shop that was not only their customer but they were also ours). All those signs should have been replaced with ones for the buying company. So I know that either these owners were too lazy to change a yard sign or they cancelled service before the buyout and probably have nothing. After a while, you just start noticing this stuff, like seeing the hinges on the exterior of the door.

Well, the guy has a point, and since I have a Simplisafe system I thought I'd try his bypass trick...... It didn't work. Or, I should say it mostly didn't work. In his video, his little device was held right over the system he was testing. I purchase the $2 remote and tried on my system, and 2 of my neighbors. Out of the around 10 times we tried "jamming" our alarms, it only worked once. All the other times, our systems went off (in TEST mode) when we tried to jam them. The potential burglar won't know if his jamming works until he (or she) triggers one of the devices. By then, he's either in your house ( about a10% success rate based on me and my neighbors test), or he's on the run 90% of the time. I guess it depends on how gutsy the burglar is willing to be. :)

This is exactly why I don't like wireless sensors unless ABSOLUTLEY required. I can't tell you the lengths I've gone to to get wires to locations for wired door/window/motion sensors. I've literally run wires for hardwire sensors all the time unless it was literally impossible short of busting out entire walls. But on your 5w handheld and the FCC, from what I can gather on the band, it's 'intended for remote control, and although other uses are allowed such uses are not optimal. If you want to do something like control a wall socket with a key fob by pushing a button, you are perfectly welcome to do so as long as the transmission stops within five seconds of the button being released', so arguably, from the FCC perspective, transmitting at 5W for 5 seconds to overload this sensor probably wouldn't be a violation, but in reality, if we're talking about such a case, there's literally no way would ever find you doing so. Also, as far as the FCC even looking into things, it would depend on the band that the interference is in. IF, for example, you were to transmit on an airport tower frequency and pose as the tower relaying false info to aircraft (there was a case of this in the last few years, in England, I think), or if you're transmitting on public safety frequencies, jamming their ability to communicate, you're likely going to have authorities looking for you PDQ. Now, in order for the FCC (or the relevant authority in whatever country) to track down on a violator, the violator would have to be transmitting long (and powerful) enough to generate complaints (or just be 'noticed'), and from there, they need to continue transmitting for the authorities to work on triangulating the transmitter location and then finally homing in on the actual location. It's most certainly not as simple as 'They transmitted for 20 seconds - we got 'em'. So transmitting in the 433 band on your handheld may or may not be legal (If it even can - most amateur radios are designed to transmit ONLY on amateur radio bands unless specifically modified), but even if it's not 'legal' due to the reason for the transmission, the odds of anyone noticing a transmission in the 433 band or even caring are very low. Heck you just gave me an idea... Maybe I should put up 'SimpliSafe' signs so would-be thieves thing they can jamb my alarm with a cheap amazon transmitter, but instead get busted!

Use a different company’s sign. Outstanding idea!

@dant.3505

2 жыл бұрын

If you believe the sign is of any use, then sure. But all wireless alarms use the same frequency range and the ham radio trick is gonna work with any of them. the pro installed wired-in system doesn't have this flaw. I guess use one of them signs for a wired alarm if you know your neighborhood crooks are gullible. Good luck.

That would not happen, because radios can't transmit, only recieve. But if you could tune your radio to 433.92 Mhz ( I doubt it because i have never seen a radio that tunes to that frequency) you could hear the data transfered from the sensors to the base station.

Instead, they gave me a tracked label for Royal Mail which I was able to get collected for 60p, an inconvenience for which the rep also apologised for. On top of that and because we weren't able to use free month surveillance because of that issue, she gave us another month free.
