In case you haven’t heard, SimpliSafe is taking off as the next big thing within the home security industry. And I should not stop with the home. There are countless small business owners and managers who have chosen SimpliSafe’s components to protect their businesses as well as their homes. So, right now, this SimpliSafe Sale is their way of saying “thanks” for the support and for all of the positive input regarding their products and services.
In this brief post, I just want to give you a “heads up” on the deal SimpliSafe is currently offering. Frankly, their website, though simple, can leave a few things unclear. I will clear those items for you that I encountered. But I’d rather a great product with a not-so-clear item or two on their website than a glorious web presence from a company who sucks, has poor customer service, elevated prices, or has a bad logo! (I guess that’s just me as a design guy)
So here we go with the SimpliSafe Sale for the week of July 4th, 2020 and ending on July 7th, 2020:
30% Off of Everything!!!
30% Off? That’s a pretty good product-wide contribution to the country. None of the equipment comes in red, white, and blue, but they are about helping during this difficult time in the world. Usually, there are certain products that are on sale, not everything. But, you’re probably thinking “there’s gotta be a freakin’ catch!”. Well, kinda, but not really. Read on and I’ll explain.
Now, I won’t say 30% off is the best deal they’ve had, but it’s close. And I don’t see how they’ve done the deals they’ve done before. Around Christmas (2019), lots of people I know were receiving offers for 50% off of everything from SimpliSafe!! That was a sweet deal, but that was probably a one-time (or season) deal as SimpliSafe was in a campaign to show the world they are a serious contender within the industry.
So, what about the freakin’ catch!? Okay, okay….
Here’s the Not-Really Catch
The offer is for a “security system”, not individual components. My take? They are upfront about the fact that it is a package discount, and that is reasonable. With SimpliSafe systems, there is a hub and a wireless keypad for it to operate, so those two items are completely necessary to have a system with them. The only other thing required for it to become a package is ONE sensor. Yep, one door or window sensor makes it a package. So, it’s not some deceptive way to get a person to buy a certain level of package, or to get some overpriced junk to receive deep discounts. These are the essential components that have given this company its great reputation.
30% OFF Plus, Plus
On top of the 30% discount, SimpliSafe will throw in a FREE SimpleCam! Have you heard of these? They are part of the success of SimpliSafe. These cameras will alert you via phone, tablet or computer anytime it detects motion. These cameras are also on the cutting edge of technology in that they minimize the false alarms associated with motion detectors. For instance, if one of your rats were to come out to look through the garbage, you don’t want to know about it on your phone. They’re not gonna haul off your smart TV or computer (Just remember to leave out more cheese so they won’t rummage so much).
One Complaint I Have About This SimpliSafe Sale
The sale is great, and they are upfront about all products being 30% off when purchasing a package, and the package can be as small as would make sense to buy. But I didn’t see the Doorbell Cams on the list of the items of any pre-set packages, nor was it on the options of the ones you build yourself. That kinda set me aback about the promotion because I want people to honestly know what to expect and not be fooled by some bait and switch marketing. I thought, “well, that really blows chunks!”, because most people I know or deal with really want a doorbell camera as part of their security system. (I sure like it!)
So, I called an executive with SimpliSafe and they let me know that as long as someone purchases a package, all other items with that purchase will be 30% off. That means everything! Just remember that when you go check out the deals. It won’t be clear as you look at each item, but as long as a package is purchased, the entire purchase is discounted by 30%.
Last But Not Least!!!
I know the yard signs aren’t expensive, but they do throw one of those in for free as well as a $99 SimpliCam! That really sweetens the deal to me. It’s hard to get “too many” cameras. There’s always one more spot I wish I had one.
So, the 30% off of any size package is reasonable, in fact generous. Adding on a SimpliCam makes it well into a bargain. And to know you can purchase a doorbell cam or any other product from SimpliSafe at 30% off is a great reason to take advantage of this SimpliSafe Sale for the 4th of July. And don’t forget, this sale goes until Tuesday, July 7, 2020.
You won’t see the discounts as you are making your order, but you will receive the 30% discount at checkout. Just click here to go to the SimpliSafe product listing or order form.
I feel that SimpliSafe is something everyone should have for security their homes, and it would also help make businesses safe. Seems like this type system would also be good for school hallways, locker rooms, classrooms and anywhere adults are not present. I think this would help protect students from any bullying behavior. Could this the system ve installed on school buses? We could sure use more accountability there. I think you explained yourself and your site very well. Thanks for sharing this post.
Best wishes for the 4th and a bright future,
Miriam
Hi Miriam! Thanks for the input, comments and questions. These systems are definitely great for any application where cameras or other types of security products are needed. The issue with placing these cameras on school buses would be that they would need to have a WiFi connection to run through. But that isn’t a bad idea either. Then there could be streaming cameras for officials to monitor.
Thanks again for the comments and questions. 🙂

Hi Darrin,
Thanks so much for the detailed review of SimpliSafe, and the heads up about the doorbell-Camera not shown as part of the 30% discounted package. You’re right, everyone loves transparency. It’s good to know that the deal is still on till July 7th, 2020.
Sure, everyone does need a security system, especially during these unprecedented times.
I already have a security system, otherwise I would take advantage of this deal.
Great post.
Thanks Benson! It’s a great idea to keep your family or yourself safe during this wildly unique time. If you decide to take advantage of the deal anyway, always keep in mind that these systems are much sought after and make great gifts. Also, with so many working from home, we should all consider our cyber security as well. A good VPN would come in handy for the online part of our worlds. Check out this review we have on the best VPN deals out there right now.
SimpliCam is great, I now I have one of their systems at home and they are working great! I was thinking about getting more cameras for my backyard since I moved to a different house, this deal does make it tempting to buy it.
Thank you for clarifying the 30% deal, I would of personally thought that every item is 30% off.
Yes, they are great cameras and all of SimpliSafe’s equipment is awesome! I’m glad you are enjoying your system and I’m sure that satisfaction will continue.
Thanks so much for your Post!

Hi,
Thanks for putting this article together.
I’m looking for some home security right now, so the fact that you’ve told me about this 30% promotion really caught my eye.
Thanks for mentioning the fact that I’ll still get the discount when I order a package I’ll get everything at the discount price too.
I don’t really need a yard sign, but hey if its free! I’m not going to say no.
Thanks again!
Thanks Judy! I appreciate your comments. If you end up purchasing a package from SimpliSafe, please hit us back on here with your feedback. In fact, no matter what you decide, let us know your experience with your new security system.
I just bought a house a few months ago and I’ve actually been looking into finding a security system like this. I found one at Best Buy with all the bells and whistles but it was a little out of my price range. This looks like a great deal! Overall it’s less expensive than a lot of other brands I see out there. Sounds like you are putting in a little extra work by calling the executive…way to go the extra mile!!!
Thanks for your comments Dan! This is definitely a great system to put in your new home. They are deliberately keeping prices down to gain a solid footing within the home security market. But their products are of a much more expensive quality. Now is a good time to get their products while they are less expensive. These prices won’t last forever. Check out our review of SimpliSafe products! And let me know which system you choose. We’d love the feedback.
Thanks again,
Darrin
