PSA for SimpliSafe users

At the very least, don't use the stickers and sign that come with the system. It seems that a $2 low power transmitter from Amazon or a handheld Ham radio can overpower the system and prevent an alarm condition.

when i had a Simplisafe system at my late brother's house i didn't use the stickers and actually deliberately left up the sign from the old alarm company.

my neighbors had ADT, then let the sign when they moved so I put it in front of my place. No service, just the sign.

No idea if it worked - we were never robbed when it was there but then we have never been robbed before or since it was there either.

Mac,

Old news and not nearly as much of an issue as would be implied in the video.
