SimpliSafe Delivers Apartment Security
Apartment dwellers miss out on some of the best technology. OK -- security is possibly one of the most boring areas of electronics, but that doesn't mean you don't want it, either.
So, two squares from Boston made security slightly more interesting by coming up with a portable solution. SimpliSafe is pretty cool because it has no wires and no lengthy, pricey service contracts.
It also has a pretty easy setup. Daily Candy says that you just peel off the adhesive backing and stick it to the wall, like a bunch of puffy Smurf stickers. However, these things are ready for when something goes down, assuming you are up to date with your $15 monthly fee. That will get you off-site monitoring, which alerts the cops if intruders or a panic button triggers the system.
SimpliSafe starts at $225; that price will get you the basic prepackaged system or you can get crazy and build up your own. -- Rachel Cericola
