As its name implies, the SimpliSafe brand focuses entirely on home security, whereas Honeywell has several different product lines and a longer company history.

Regardless, both SimpliSafe and Honeywell’s home security packages and products alert you to intruders and environmental issues in your home, but the equipment they use to get the job done sets each brand apart.
