I didn't know it was also a single serve coffee maker, xD

SimpliSafe - Single Server Coffee Maker, lol

You don't have to pay the monthly monitoring fee. You can just use it as a standalone and avoid the monthly fees altogether. Nothing scammish about it at all imo.

But then it is just a noise maker. Who gets the police? Who gets the firefighters when everyone is asleep or noone is home? SecurityAllStar.com has the right answer. Here are some fun facts about SS: Do you know THESE FACTS? * HAS NO TAMPERS ON DOOR SENSORS, WINDOW SENSORS OR MOTIONS THAT WE CAN FIND * HAS NO REDUNDANT MONITORING FOR UL LISTING THAT WE CAN FIND * DOES NOT HAVE CRASH AND SMASH TO THWART CIRCUMVENTION BY THIEVES - POSITIVELY * IS NOT NRTL OR CERTIFIED TESTED WHICH EVEN CHEAP PRODUCTS DO THESE DAYS * SINGLE MODE NOTIFICATION TO MONITORING (MOST NOW HAVE AT LEAST 2 AND OURS HAS 3 - ETHERNET, WIFI AND CELLULAR ADDITIONALLY 1. STANDARD WITH SS DOES NOT COME WITH APPS 2. STANDARD WITH SS HAS NO AUTOMATION 3. STANDARD WITH SS IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OUR OPTIONS 4. OUR CAMERAS ARE AT A BARE MINIMUM TWICE THE RESOLUTION AND WORK WITH THE APP AND: IP MEXAPIXEL CAMERAS DO NOT COST EXTRA PER MONTH WITH US

Frontpoint security is the best system out there. We switched over from another company, and I will tell you, honestly, the system is awesome, but their customer service is absolutely truly exceptional and it is don't wonder that a nine out of 10 reviews it is ranked number one

$500! Awesome! If people can pay something like that for such plastic gadgets, would be real nice day! People need systems for very low cost.

So awesome!

Café?

how about changing the monthly fee into a small yearly fee? Keep it under 50 dollar so everyone can afford and make the customers buy the equipment. I want one but dont want to dish out monthly fees.

complete fail, I can understand a reliance on the cloud and payments to cover hosting cost when a device needs it, but this device, does not truly need a cloud connection. If they wanted to, they could easily make it standalone as the majority of it's functions are pretty standalone (my house has an old alarm system where it is just the traces on the window to tell if the glass breaks) if it did, it would automatically dial 911, and supposedly it would have a few tomes that would play. the police will then know that an alarm was activated, and they would simply look the info up on the number to know the home address. With more advanced technology that is not from the 60's, they could have the device be fully self contained and have remote access handled directly via the wan IP and a dyn dns service if the user wanted to not remember their IP address. kinda like how you can access your router remotely, or your NAS remotely, without having to go through a 3rd party server (the cloud) What this company has done is essentially the same as what that skydog company did where they took a standard router, disable local access to a web UI, then essentially relayed it through their own servers, thus not only adding an additional point of failure to the product, but also add a new revenue stream by charging people for a service that routers traditionally offer locally (and firmware such as tomato and openwrt, prove can all be provided locally, and more) With modern cell service, you do not need a sim card to make a call to an emergency number and probably play back a pre recorded message. Overall, this product is a good concept but is implemented in a scammish way where you have an additional point of failure and an unnecessary cloud connection, and an unnecessary need to pay for something that the device should be handling locally, for free.

I really don't think you know what you're talking about. At all. The device connects to an alarm center over a cell-data connection. A person will call a list of phone numbers you've specified before calling the police to notify them of an alarm. Considering that their fee structure is way less than most alarm companies charge, and there is no contract, I don't see where you're coming from. There is a broadband internet adapter, as well as a phone line jack that can be used in the case of no cell service in your area, but those are both intended as backups. The cell connection is its main line out. Another option is to not pay for the monthly service and use it as a stand alone alarm. The problem with that is that you're relying on your neighbors to intervene for you at that point. Devices that call the police directly with pre-recorded blurbs are illegal in most jurisdictions. You buy your equipment and only pay for the service if you want it. Nothing scam-ish to me.

James Carson I don't have an issue with that, what I have an issue with is the reliance on their cloud services for many of its basic functions, this means that if they go out of business, then your device loses the vast majority of its functions; (functions that could otherwise be provided via local access similar to how you access a home router, or security camera system, or more traditional business level security system. This is all about longterm reliability. when a product has an unnecessary cloud requirement, then there is no guarantee of future usage because the company can take their servers down at any moment. this means that the device is essentially crippled in that you can no longer change any settings and other basic things. This is a system that may work as advertised now, but it will not continue to do so if they go out of business. Think of it like the scammy routers such as the skydog router where the vast majority of its functions are remotely controller via their cloud service, if they go out if business, then the router loses virtually all of its functions. Remember when purchasing a product, you have to take into account the points of failure, and avoid products which contain unnecessary points of failure. Many traditional systems that offer user controls, offer the controls with local access, and any cloud functions such as remote recording, monitoring and other augmentations, are basically optional extras, but the cloud is not needed for the main functions. A good way to conceptualize this, it to look at IP cam like devices such as the dropcam. It offers no local access, the company stripped out all local access functions so that the only port used is the one to initiate a connection with their cloud servers. if their servers die, or they go out of business, then the dropcams become paperweights. With a proper IP cam, you have full local access, and can use your own DVR systems, NAS devices, or PC's to monitor and record the footage. mobile devices can also access them via the WAN IP, or a DDNS address. Cloud like services are often offered ans an extra and due to more open standards, customers can choose from a number of different monitoring and recording services, so independent of the company that made the cameras, all functions will work regardless, and if a user wants remote recording, they can pay a remote recording service, or even set up their own. Devices such as that will work fine for as long as the hardware continues to function. while with products that have a cloud only requirement and offer no alternative ways to access the features, then the product will become useless the moment the company kills the servers. You can buy this security system, or a dropcam today, and the company can go out of business tomorrow, leaving you with a paperweight. And that risk makes a product like this, a do not buy.

No contract but monthly fees not cool fail
