TL;DR: You can save 40% on any SimpliSafe security system through Sept. 15 (valid email required).
Being stuck at home amid the pandemic has inspired many to tackle a DIY project, whether it’s tufting colorful rugs, dabbling in indoor gardening, or painting bathroom countertops a questionable shade of green. (If you know, you know.) Now, for your next trick: Installing your own home security system.
It’s not as complicated as it sounds, actually: DIY security systems are typically wireless (read: very easy to set up) and leave tons of room for customization. They’ll usually save you some serious cash, too, since you’re not required to fork over fees for professional installation.
If your ears perked up at that last part, just wait until you hear about the sale that’s happening over at SimpliSafe, one of our absolute favorite DIY home security brands: Through Sept. 15, you can take 40% off any new SimpliSafe system just by visiting its website and supplying a valid email address in the orange banner at the top of the page.
SimpliSafe’s five preconfigured security packages range from The Foundation, a four-piece kit designed for small homes and apartments, to The Haven, a 14-piece kit with extra protection against water damage and fires. You can further personalize any of them with à la carte add-ons like sensors and cameras (including a brand new outdoor camera) to better suit your space.
But if none of them are the right fit, SimpliSafe also gives you the option of building your own home security ~ecosystem~ from scratch, starting with a SimpliSafe Base Station and Wireless Keypad. From there, you can take your pick from several different burglary sensors and a couple different hazard sensors, then complete your kit with accessories like a key fob and a 105dB siren.
Going either route comes with the option of signing up for a free two-week trial of SimpliSafe’s professional monitoring service, with no contract required if you decide to extend it.
