Key Fob Installation Guide
Updated
Overview
Our Key Fob works just like a car’s - with just a press of a button you can arm or disarm your entire SimpliSafe® system from up to 30’ away! And if you’re subscribed to a professional monitoring plan, you can use the Key Fob’s red Panic Button to alert our monitoring centre immediately if there’s an emergency.

Before Getting Started
Before setting up your Key Fob, you will need to install your Base Station.
We recommend putting the Key Fob on a keychain you carry, so that you can use it as a remote method of arming and disarming your system.
