I can confirm that this is true. I have had Simplisafe for a couple years. I can key my radio, walk right in, close the door, wait a few seconds and release the radio key and it like nothing ever happened. System still in home mode. No alarm! I called Simplisafe to explain this, and ask about an update and she hung up on me.

New models and or updates have given the system frequency hopping so when it detects interface it will change to a different frequency of the whole system and set of alarm if one sensor doesn't change with it

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

I use mine primarily for smoke, CO and water detectors. And they all work excellent. I’ve tested them all

Interesting indeed!! No yard signs or window stickers plus ssid are not broadcasting. Can't defeat what you don't know exists then its to late. Plus I've got so many sensors that u can't escape, plus cameras with motion activation. Ohh and the dog.

That's why you have camera, motion detection, glass break, and other door sensors inside with instant trigger setup as well. Unless some cases your house and knows where everything is, an intruder is gonna set something off eventually.

You should try the same thing. With motion sensors and camera, also do you get a notification on single interference on your phone ?

Also, it seems like some sort of back up to in case if it’s jammed. They’re betting that the jamming will end as soon as the door is closed, so they try to send the signal through a few more times just to make sure.

@9:11 huge missed opportunity for a quip: "This SIMPLY doesn't make my feel SAFE..." You are now seeing why poorly engineered security devices only provide the illusion of security, but no real security. This is one of the big draws of Lock Picking Lawyer. Also, you're just overwhelming the TX power of the short burst when the door sensor state changes, burying the sensor's transmission in the noise of the saturated base station receiver (think of it like trying to see a candle next to a spotlight someone is shining in your eyes). You could hold the transmit button on the radio for 5 seconds and just leave the door open, and the base would have no idea... and you shouldn't need to hold it up where the sensor is - just casually hold it transmitting in a sweatshirt pocket as you walk through the door looking like you belong there. They could have fixed this by putting an RSSI detector in the base, and having each sensor send a periodic heart beat in addition to the event transmissions with serialized events so the base could tell than that it missed a TX from the sensor. From there the base could query what it missed, and correlate missed events with high RSSI indicating an more sophisticated attack (and perhaps it could then trip a silent alarm to increase the likelihood of a capture) - but this requires a 2-way RF link, and that's harder to get right in low power (can be done, look at LoRa with 10-year lithium batteries reporting rural propane tank levels). I think you could also defeat this door sensor with a neodymium magnet strong enough to pull in the reed switch in the door sensor, but that works on wired systems too. Essentially, by making the sensor wireless, thy have increased the attack surface of that sensor. Still can't beat a hardwired system with redundant sensor types. Single sensor type can be defeated with a single circumvention procedure - multiple types must be defeated with multiple procedures simultaneously, much harder to get right. I used to install commercial access control systems, and I've never understood SimpliSafe - it's a race to the bottom with pricing, that suckers the market's consumers into thinking they have a system on par with a well designed product. Better than nothing I guess, but so are better locks, doors, and shatter-proof windows...

Thanks for the video. This is not that big of a deal , imo. To better protect your home from this type of a attack is easy and simple. 1. Add motion detection cameras to the exterior of your home. 2. Have smart locks and door stoppers behind each door. Also, lock your doors.😂 3. Have two sensors on the door.(pick another spot) 4.HAVE MOTION SENSORS in the house. :). 5. Have glass break sensors. 6. Decrease the entry delay timer. 7. Hide base station 8. Check your PHONE for push notifications regarding your house!!! 9. Have a gun 10. Get a dog.

Haha your face matched the colour of the outside wall.

I also have a motion sensor near my front door. If the entry sensor signal is jammed the motion sensor will trigger the alarm.

Yah you gotta build in back ups, motion detectors, glass break sensors, etc.

Did you try the same tests with vivint? The FCC filing I found for vivint is 345MHz.

Is it just the door sensors or all? Including glass break, motion, and even the video camera motion?

They jam and disable your. base station. A wired systen is absolutely best. Hiding your Base station and panel also help.

Do a wired system as a backup, you can defeat a wired system but its harder. It takes drilling and power circuit interruption.

The big problem with Simplisafe is the limited range between sensors and base station. I have a basement with installed sensors only 20 feet from base station and only seperated by floor my Simplisafe system will not connect to my basement sensors which is unfortunately the most vulnerable part of my home. The other frustration is the cameras do not like modern 5ghz/ 2.4ghz wireless routers mine can't be set up. I even separated the frequencies and gave the 2.4ghz band a separate passcode and even that didn't work. I have made multiple calls to Simplisafe with no help, I know more about wireless networks than the Simplisafe help people. The system will be going back this week -not designed for a larger home.

Try with motion sensor opposite door!

433 mhz interference must be close to the simplisafe base station receiver and NOT at the sensor transmitter mounted on the door to be most effective

What about an ir laser into the lens of the camras? What if somebody flips the circuit breaker on the side of your house? I.e. cut the power?

The remote needs to be exactly 433.92mhz to work properly and you have to keep it armed continuously.

433.92 handheld transmitter: the transmitter signal many times more powerful than the door sensor. Phenomenon is called “FM signal capture.” Apparently Simplisafe now uses signal hopping to defeat signal capture. Customer service rep was correct to hang up on caller. Who knows who’s looking for system vulnerabilities.

Thanks for the video. Did you switch out of simplisafe or are you still using them?

Have you ever done a glass break sensor test?

What about the cameras?

This is very interesting. Thanks. So what is the solution to this problem with SimpliSafe? Are there any wireless solutions that are "secure"? Can a wired system be hacked too using a different method?

Get a Blue by ADT alarm. Easy to install and will detect this type of attack.

DO NOT ADVERTISE by using Simplisafe window decals or lawn flags. Use another company that uses wired systyems! I use ADT

?? 433.92 MHz is in a HAM radio band! How can that be?? I monitored with a band scope and did not detect the Simplisafe signal.

lmao he looked sooo disappointed by the end of the video once he got it to bypass the alarm

Just buy a sign for all the companies and hang them proud lol

This wouldnt have mattered if you had layered security like motion sensors and security cameras. You ought to try mixing brands like Simplisafe alarm system with reolink cameras, etc. While you can certainly bypass the open/close sensors, having hard wired PoE IP cameras (not wireless) would have certainly picked up the motion and sent an alaert. As long as you aren't complacent and check your alerts, you, having been an intruder would have been noticed and police coulkd have been notified and the alarm set off remotely.

I wonder if SinpliSafe made their sensors better to detect jamming and stuff?

That is exactly the reason I did not put my sign up outside

You know you can jam the ring ones just the same? Also motion detectors are much much harder to block. Never advertise what brand you have by a yard sign and you are good. Also they updated the timing algorithm which has helped a ton too.

You should put it on trigger alarm immediately

I have tried it out on ours as well and when in away mode i was able to get in the house but even with the button pushed i could not dodge all the sensors as in motion and alarm went off. Plus the burglar has to know where ever sensor is and to dodge them all is not happening. This is also not a known attempt for burglars and also do not advertise who you are using, go online and purchase generic security signs. Every single wireless Device can be hacked, ring, ADT anything wireless plus ypu have the base station sitting right there with the other sensor and with mine it didn't work that well as everything is scattered. So am i worried? Absolutely not we had someone try to get in ours and the system worked. #simplisafe4life #simplisafe4thewin

First of all, you do not hold the radio near the sensor as there is no receiver in the sensor. If you want to interfere with the system, you hold the radio near the base station. That being said, setting sensors to go off right away when the system is armed will still not stop a strong handheld radio signal (5 watts) from shutting down the SimpliSafe system. I actually set my SimpliSafe system to away, then walked all around my property with the wife opening doors and windows and the SimpliSafe system would not sound an alarm. So it may not take a $5 gadget, but a Baofeng handheld set to 433.92 and transmitting continuously will keep the SimpliSafe system from sounding an alarm. This is a big vulnerability. Second thing that most SimpliSafe users do not know is that you better hide your base station very well. The reason is that SimpliSafe does not have "Smash and Grab" protection. In other words, a burglar coming into the house, if they find the base station right away and smash it, the monitoring center will not receive an alarm. This is because SimpliSafe does not send a "pending alarm" signal to the monitoring center the second a sensor is tripped. These are two huge vulnerabilities that made me decide to move from SimpliSafe over to Ring. Ring uses Z-Wave which uses a much higher frequency and devices that can use those frequencies are not widely available. Also Z-Wave has multiple frequencies and channels making it harder to interfere with the system.

Move your base station

It did jam the system, but the jamming triggered the alarm, and without the correct pin the alarm goes off. Local homeless have been using stolen Baofeng and mobile HAM radios to set off armed alarm systems and cause users to trash their system. The in car mobile UHF or dual band radio can trigger the alarms to go off from blocks or even a miles away, and can indicate who has alarms from varrious companies by whose alarms were triggered. Also the same amateur radios can cause unlocked garage doors to open leading to uninsurable Catalitic Converter, car computer and sports equipment thefts! Simplysafe should use harder to access microwave radio bands for its communications!

Can this jam the motion sensors?

3421 alarm code

I'm reading the comments I keep coming back to this because this is really bothering me I'm reading your comments so and you have a supportive community

I’m very happy with my SimpliSafe system, when the sensors are interrupted I get a text and a phone call. Tested and proven. Plus my cameras work great and have battery back up in a power outage. Best most affordable system on the market in my opinion.

It's been over a year for this video. Have they fixed it?

Well either way no matter , your cameras from simply safe will instantly pick them up and trip the alarm . I have five cameras inside my house and three simply safe exterior cameras , plus an alarm system and others 24 hour record with hidden and locked Digital recorder

NotSoSafe is the name.

Twothings to remember: 1. Most burglaries committed by a teenager living in your neighborhood, not high-end professional burglar-tourists who flew in from Chili for the occasion. 2. If Simpli-safe is now using frequency hopping then using just a hand-held transmitter to defeat the alarm will not work, but again see # 1 . 🤡

The look of disappointment.

I'm sure all the crooks just love all this information.

I went solar paid $73,000 for 21 panels and it does not generate enough electricity to make a difference in our home. We still have a $250 solar bill plus the electricity and the panels don't work on a cloudy day you'd be a fool to go solar you'll make the worst mistake you can none of the solar system companies will work in this side of the United States. I live in North Carolina there's not enough sun to make a difference.

Wait a minute this is confusing the door opened and if they just keep holding that it will block the signal so they can come in your house let me look at that again because that's freaking me out

So if they leave the door open can they do what they're doing and then go what in and out what 🙁 you make sure you do a follow-up video cuz someone's coming in my house and they leave me sign

Don't put those stupid alarm company signs in your yard or the stickers on your windows. You're just telling the thieves what tool they need to use to break in. I say keep them guessing what alarm system you've got.

This makes me upset that we spent so much money on this system.

read through the comments and there are so many fake comments about how simplisafe isn't good. DIY systems are beatable, but it's not easy, and especially not as easy as this video shows

It also blocks camaras really need some help

Should keep Simplisafe, with the new SS3 update, this does not work at all

Nah they both worked for me(of the bat)

You had the system in test mode so Simplisafe didn't call. They will call if Rf interference is detected.

Software has been updated, this no longer works.

But why?! Nightmare fuel activated 😒

Your too close to the base station. Use a door sensor that's far away from the base station. When you put the radio next to the base station it trips the interference do loop. The door sensor is basicly a circuit and so it cant detect the interference but the base station with its brains can. They need to install digital key codes in the door circuits to prevent the jamming but this will increase unit cost and thus they wont do it. So lock picking lawyers videos might force them to upgrade. Those cheap burghers.

You get what you pay for. Have a professional install decent equipment... or pile a bunch of empty cans in front of your doors, if you really want cheap. Since the base station beeps, to let you know exactly where it is... just follow the beep during "entry delay" and smash the base station. Now it won't sound, or communicate. Honeywell wireless is outside the ham radio range, and uses "advanced protection logic" to prevent something like that from doing burglars any good... the signal is sent as soon as the door is opened. It amazes me how people will install inferior equipment, on a system they will have for years, just to save a few hundred dollars. Like I said, you get what you pay for.

You didn't give the hack a far chance. 1st you have the base station right by the door. I don't think putting the hack transmitter by the door sensor is how you should try to hack the alarm. And you only tried one transmitter. You did not prove the hack does not work, you only showed one device did not work the way you set up the test. The hack is "Not" Busted.

I work for ADT I’ll get you a better system man that’s unexceptionable

what is the purpose of this video ? I am lost.

READER BE WARE There are people giving advice that is absolutely useless.

😡

Are you telling people how to get in the house what the hell

You didn't do anything wrong that's why this crap is going back tomorrow

I have simplisafe but put out ADT yard sign and ADT window decals to spoof would be burglars. Find a friend who has ADT and he can order ADT decals and a yard sign at no cost. 👍👍👍🤡🤡🤡
