[QUOTE="HeyEng, post: 3240360, member: 44022"] We used Simplisafe for *years* with no issues at all. When we moved to Oklahoma, we got a new system and immediately had issues with the base station interfering with other wireless components. Unless I had the basestation stuck in a closet far, far, away, I would get constant "interference" warnings from it every 30 seconds or so. It's a common problem and is discussed at length on the Simplisafe forum. Our current home had a prexisiting system, so I have it configured though Surety and essentially self monitor the system. If someone breaks in, I want to know that before getting home. What I don't want is the police responding 10 minutes after the crook leaves and shooting my dog(s). The bigger issue with these cameras are that they are "IoT" (internet of things) devices that you allow onto your network. The Chinese could care less about what you are doing in your home, they aren't hanging around watching you...they want on YOUR NETWORK.
