"I tried Simplisafe at first. Found it was not a true self monitor system. ABODE IS! This is the only system I found to actually notify you if alarms are set off. The set up was very easy, I did it all myself at both my home and office in under an hour. Because you do not have to pay a monthly fee it comes cheaper than other systems and is not much more expensive for the initial equipment. I find the customization of this system awesome."

"I originally bought a Simplisafe system for my house. After having it for 6 months, I came to the harsh conclusion that it wasn’t for me.
After doing more research, I bought an Abode system. Great system, solid UI for the mobile and Web applications, and outstanding integration. You guys rock - thank you!"

"I first tried SimpliSafe and had repeated problems with both their product and their customer service. Also, SimpliSafe did not allow for self monitoring. In contrast, the Abode system installed easily and worked immediately. After installing I ordered additional components and was able to easily interface them with my installed system."
