If “I should really get a security system” has been sitting on your mental to-do list for a while, this SimpliSafe deal makes it much easier to finally check that box. The SimpliSafe 8 Piece Wireless Home Security System is down to $119.99, which is 50% off the usual $239.99 price. You get a full starter kit from one of the best-known DIY security brands, without signing a long-term contract.

What you’re getting

This is a full 8-piece SimpliSafe kit, not just a single sensor or camera. In the box, you’ll find the core pieces you need to cover a typical apartment or smaller home:

  • A base station, which is the brain of the system
  • A wireless keypad for arming/disarming as you come and go
  • Multiple entry sensors for doors and/or windows
  • A motion sensor to watch over larger spaces
  • A wireless indoor siren or related components (depending on exact bundle)

Everything is wireless, so you’re not fishing cables through walls, and setup is very much “DIY-friendly.” The system is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can fold it into the smart home routines you already use (like arming the system with a voice command on your way out).

You can run it on its own or add optional 24/7 professional monitoring, which SimpliSafe offers on a subscription basis—still with no contract required.

Why it’s worth it

A lot of people avoid security systems because they picture installers, contracts, and high monthly bills. SimpliSafe’s whole pitch is the opposite of that, and this discount pushes it even further into “why not?” territory.

A few reasons this kit stands out:

  • 50% off means you get a well-known brand’s full starter setup for the price of what some competitors charge for a single camera.
  • It’s expandable, so you can add more sensors or cameras later if you move to a bigger place or want more coverage.
  • The no-contract monitoring gives you flexibility: you can turn it on for busy seasons, travel, or just keep it running full-time without feeling locked in.
  • Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility makes it easy to integrate into a smart home you might already be building.

Even if you don’t turn on professional monitoring right away, having the system installed gives you chimes, alarms, and app alerts that already add a layer of awareness and deterrence.

The bottom line

If you’ve been meaning to put some kind of security in place but don’t want to deal with installers or long-term contracts, this SimpliSafe 8-piece wireless home security system hits a very comfortable middle ground. At $119.99, with 50% savings off the $239.99 list price, it’s a straightforward way to get a trusted name-brand system on your wall and in your app without overcomplicating things.

Apple might be turning its HomeView into a security camera, and it makes perfect sense
HomeView's built-in camera might soon have a few more uses beyond FaceTime calls.
Apple HomeView feature

Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.

The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.

Even the most expensive option could be a poor match.
