SimpliSafe Replacement for Chicago Properties

When DIY security is not enough — upgrading SimpliSafe to professional commercial-grade systems.

From DIY to Professional

SimpliSafe was founded in 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts, with a mission to make home security affordable and self-installable. The company’s wireless alarm systems are sold direct-to-consumer with no long-term contracts, making them popular for renters and homeowners who want basic security without professional installation.

For commercial properties, however, SimpliSafe’s limitations become apparent: wireless-only sensors, limited zone counts, no access control integration, consumer-grade cameras, and no enterprise management capabilities.

Professional Upgrade Path

When Chicago properties need to move from SimpliSafe to commercial-grade security, we provide professional system design, installation, and configuration that delivers the reliability, integration, and documentation that commercial buildings require.

Call (872) 254-5015 or email [email protected] for a professional security assessment.

When a Building Outgrows SimpliSafe

SimpliSafe does exactly what it promises for a single storefront or small office — self-installed, app-managed, cheap. We recommend it staying right up until the day the business needs door-by-door access control, real camera retention, or an audit trail for an incident. Then the gaps show.

The upgrade path isn’t rip-everything: intrusion sensors can keep doing intrusion while we add commercial access control and proper cameras around them. We’ve done that handoff enough times to make it boring — which is the goal.
