Summary
When an alarm is triggered, it will notify your alarm monitoring company who will then alert authorities to investigate the issue. SimpliSafe’s Motion Sensors are designed to avoid false alarms, but direct sunlight and heating vents in the room can potentially trigger a false alarm. When the SimpliSafe alarm is on and a sensor is triggered, the Keypad will start beeping and prompt you for your PIN. You have 30 seconds to turn off the alarm. Pressing the SimpliSafe Panic Button during a break-in will instantly trigger an alarm, which can be either silent or audible. In the case of fire, smoke, or carbon monoxide, an alarm will go off, and ADT will contact you and the authorities. With professional monitoring, SimpliSafe will immediately dispatch fire response to your home even if you’re not there. SimpliSafe will also dispatch the police to your home when you deactivate an alarm with your duress PIN. It is possible for burglars to disarm SimpliSafe by using a keypad, base station, and an off-the-shelf microcontroller. “Instant Trigger” is a feature in SimpliSafe that activates the alarm immediately when triggered.
