Why SimpliSafe's Massive Prime Day Sale Is Perfect for Your First Home Security Kit

SimpliSafe steadily ranks as one of our top security system recommendations, with its easy-to-install devices and great data-protection track record. But it's easy to let home security prices stop you, especially since you can pay close to $200 for just a sensor or two to start with.

SimpliSafe and Prime Day are deleting that excuse with a massive 50% off sale for some of SimpliSafe's most popular kits.

While you can find all of SimpliSafe's discounts on its Amazon store, our favorite option is undoubtedly the eight-piece set, which comes with a hub, a keypad, a motion sensor and four access sensors for various doors and windows around your home. That's plenty for the average home, and it's only $120 for Prime Day, a deal you're not likely to see again.

You can start smaller too, with a five-piece SimpliSafe kit for $100, or you can add a camera with a nine-piece kit for $150. Other bundles include outdoor cameras and extra fobs, all 50% off. And there's no jumping through hoops or meeting buying quotas to qualify: what you see is the deal you get in your Amazon cart.

If you've been waiting to get a home security system or haven't been sure if it's worth the investment for the size of your house or apartment, take advantage of SimpliSafe's deal while it lasts.

Keep in mind, you can use the system unmonitored, but at least a self-monitoring plan at $10 per month will add video recording and download capabilities, with higher tiers providing professional monitoring. SimpliSafe is also one of the easier systems to take with you if you move.
