I installed this system 4 years ago. I armed every door and window on my first floor and added motion sensors for when we are not home. We arm the doors and windows when sleeping. System works great and is easy to install. Never had a false tirgger even during lighting storms. Installed a key pad in the garage and use the key pad on the unit in the house. Plan on installing in my parent home. This is a great product.

I have been in the market for a self installed security system for a couple of years. I would recommend the GE Simon system based on my own experience. My research lead me to speak with an install rep prior to purchase and was informed the most challenging part of installation is running the phone line and power line to the unit. This information is true with my experience. The programming was intimidating at first but if you carefully read through the manual, it is fairly manageable as most the default settings is what I kept the system at.

Programming was very difficult. It was too hard for someone with no experience. You should advertise as such. I had to hire an alarm company to install it, so I saved no money by purchasing it from you. The only positive was that your customer service was great.

Just as advertised. Needed some phone help on some of the more complex set up issues which was available and always met my needs. Highly recommended. Still expanding the system.

I have this same system installed by ADT for a price of 1800.00. Save yourselves a bundle and install it yourselves. Have it call you on your cell phone instead of a monitoring system and save your self another 40.00 per month...

Installed this system after my old Ademco went out. What a difference! Went from no features on my old Ademco to many on the Simon. This is a best buy for the money it has easy installation and is very dependable. This system has a lot of accessories available so you wont be bored customizing. I purchased everything from the The Home Security Store, Eric in sales took care of everything quickly and I will definitely be calling him back. And no, I don't work for them I am just a satisfied customer.

7. Rick on 2/4/2008, said:

The system is not quite as easy to install and program as others had indicated. I had some frustration to say the least until I called the tech support line. After that things were indeed very easy. As with most tech support lines these days you should expect to be on hold for up to a 1/2 hour waiting for help. Late day calls (last 30 minutes probable won't get answered).

8. Robert on 9/3/2007, said:

The only real limit on the Simon 3 is the 24 sensor ceiling and the amount you're willing to spend on sensors etc. There are many progammable options to make the system behave the way you want (check out the Simon 3 installers guide for an idea here). Performance so far (1 month) has been flawless. The initial panel cost is low but the cost of sensor and remote keypads adds up pretty fast. If you're going to have less than 24 total sensor however, it's still likely worthwhile. One downside of these integrated main panel/keypad units - if you install it in plain sight by your main entry for example, it could be easily smashed into oblivion during the entry delay thereby crippling your total alarm system... you need to 'hide' the Simon 3 panel somewhere and use remote keypads at visible entry points (again the cost goes up at $99 each). The other limitation is the power of an exterior siren. Simon 3 can power a rather small unit (13-950) but you really need it to trip a relay that triggers some high powered exterior sirens/lights... more work but do-able. The X10 integration is nice but I understand not to rely on it for your primary siren(s).

I have been using the Simon 3 since November 2005. It is a great product with great features and more!!. I can arm and and disarm my home via telephone anywhere. One has to carefully read the user manual ( a little boring though) to get all the benefits. Highly recommended

10. Al on 6/11/2007, said:

Like the previous reviews say, read the manuals (all of them) at least twice to understand the basic concepts and choose the features you want from your system. They are written like software manuals where the developer knows the system and never expects the software to be used by anyone other than another developer. The system has a lot of features and you can easily get bogged down into the shear amount of options available. My biggest obstacle was that I had a previous system and it was a bit hard for me to get used to the differences in the GE system versus the old system I had. I had to throw out my assumptions of how I thought the GE system should work. Once I did that, I found programming was extremely easy once I was able to choose the features I wanted activated. One thing that would help is a quick guide that would show three or four different scenarios for programming that most people would typically choose. Overall, I am very happy with the system. It is doing exactly what I want it to do and I would recommend it.

The Simon 3 was very easy to install and program. Use my cell phone as my home phone and I didnt want to install a LAN line so I decided to go with myalarm.info to use broaband monitoring with wireless adapter. The simon 3 and the broadband monitoring works great. Extremelly easy to setup. Much better then signing contracts with ADT etc... David Swanson

I've had this system installed now for ~ 70 days. It was fairly easy to setup (minus one small problem with phone communication - hint, use the bigger phone jack). I love how expandable it is! This is a great system for the money.

First off, our unit was defective, and had to be sent back. They did fix and return withing 10 business days. So, they stand by thier word. The manuals are not easy to understand. This is the reason the installation is so hard. You have to go between the two manuals to get everything done. They are made for those who have installed systems before. The help line is very good, once you get through. Weekend hours would have been helpful. Overall, we are satisfied with the unit. The company has proved that it stands by its word.

The simon 3 is the best system I have ever used. I have programmed the system to call 2 cell phones. One is mine, and the other calls a relative as a backup. I have expierenced 0 false alarms, and the auto dialer is free of monthly charges. We usually come home late, and am very happy knowing that my home is secure. And if there is a problem, I will know immediatley. I love being able to arm/disarm over the phone. Don't let ADT or ProtectAmerica talk you in. They give you the system for 'Free' But then you have to pay 29.99 per month for 3 yrs for monitoring. Rather you can buy the system for 219 and pay only 8.95 per month with alarm Relay! Programming took about 15 minutes. I reccomend this to anyone!

We have had ours since 10/12/2004. This was our first security system so it took some patience to set it up and get to used to it. The tech support was great - we would not have figured it out with just the manual. It has been over two years now and it has never gone off without a reason and has always gone off when I forget to disarm - so it works and I like it.

I had ADT for 12 years and when something broke, they wanted to charge for the service call and the price of the replacement equipment. I searched the internet and found GE Simon website. I installed the system myself and I have added several options since the initial install. It is much easier to use and I know that if anything breaks, it will be replaced free.

This is a great system. The install was fairly easy, I did need to read the install manual more than once, for my own comfort level.

18. Derek from New York City on 8/20/2006, said:

I saw the reviews from early on and decided to take a chance and purchase the Simon 3 anyway. This alarm system is great. I think that all the duplicate reviews are from someone trying to make the store look bad. I’m not sure if it’s the completion or someone with nothing better to do, but I like the product and the Home Security store. They were there to help with any problems and questions. The only reason I’m giving a score of 4 and not 5 is because the Tech support is not open on weekends.

See the 3 identical reviews (word-for-word...can't spell: surprised) from Grady, Dave, Duane! Too funny!

I was unsure if I could install this alarm kit myself, I am not a very technical person. Once I received it, I called the Home Security Store to verify what I was doing was correct. I was supprised I had done everyting correct - It seemed too easy. The support is great, the system is great. I would recommend the Simon 3 to everyone looking for a do-it-yourself alarm.
