Kangaroo: Simple Home Security

Simple home security control

Kangaroo: Simple Home Security is a mobile hub for managing a DIY home security setup. It is suited to people who want to monitor their home, control security devices, and handle alerts without relying on a professional installation service. The app is listed in House & Home and is developed by Kangaroo Security.

What the app offers

• Guided setup for connecting and configuring compatible Kangaroo security equipment.
• Remote controls for arming and disarming the system from the app.
• Alerts and monitoring tools to help you keep track of activity at home.
• Access to Kangaroo protection plans, including options linked to theft or damage reimbursement.
• Tools that may connect security participation with potential home insurance savings.

Designed for self-monitoring

The app focuses on straightforward controls rather than a complex security dashboard. Its setup guidance is intended for users who prefer to install and manage their own equipment, while remote access is useful when you are away from home. Available notification, storage, and protection features can depend on the plan attached to the account, so the app may suit both basic self-monitoring and users looking for additional coverage.

Kangaroo: Simple Home Security has a rating of 3.5 out of 5 from 3,038 reviews and more than 500,000 installs. It may be a practical choice for households looking for app-based security controls, guided setup, and optional financial protection in one service. Users considering the optional car insurance test-drive feature should also review its driving-data and location requirements before taking part.
