Get a deduction on SimpliSafe prices for Tax Day, free camera on security systems

SimpliSafe took big deductions off SimpliSafe home security systems for Tax Day, April 15. For today only, SimpliSafe will deduct 15% off the usual price with all pre-configured or build-your-own SimpliSafe security systems and add a $99 SimpliCam HD video security camera with built-in motion and sound detection for free. The sale ends at midnight tonight ET.

When we tested the third-generation SimpliSafe Home Security System, Digital Trends’ reviewer praised its easy set-and-forget installation process and the base station’s beautiful design. SimpliSafe’s no-contract professional monitoring service costs just $15 a month, about half the cost of conventional security monitoring companies. The monitoring service isn’t required for local alerts and camera monitoring, but the service adds police and fire department notification, remote alerts, and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
