SimpliSafe security devices include an outdoor and indoor key.

Some home security systems can be hacked by anyone who has access to the internet. These systems require a password in order to function. If someone knows the password, he can hack them.

How To
How to test a home alarm system
How to test your Home Security System
The first step is to install your alarm monitoring software on your computer. You should download the latest version from the manufacturer's website. Next, create your phone number in order to have monitoring center calls routed to your telephone. If you don’t know how to do that, you can ask your local service provider. Now it's time for you to start testing.
There are two main ways to test your system. You can test your system by using a dummy device. This is basically a fake device that looks like a real one. The fake device has many of the same features as the original, but it does not actually work. You can turn it on and it will sound exactly the same as the real thing. A dummy device comes with some limitations. It won't give you any information about your system's actual functionality. People who see it sat around might find it suspicious. Third, it might be stolen and cause trouble.
Second, you can test your system by hand. This involves going through the entire system one-by-one to make sure it is functioning properly. This would include checking that the motion sensors and cameras work correctly, the door locks function properly, and the camera recording is working. You should test each of these items at least once a week. You can feel confident in your system's operation once you have thoroughly tested it.
