Selective Insurance announced a partnership with SimpliSafe, a maker of home security systems, to provide eligible Selective homeowner policyholders with home security technology and professional home monitoring capabilities. The partnership aims to help protect Selective’s homeowner policyholders against some of the most common home hazards, including theft, fire, and water damage.

Selective’s homeowner policyholders in approved states can request a complimentary seven-piece home security system from SimpliSafe. The system includes a base station, keypad, HD indoor security camera, entry sensor, water sensor, temperature sensor, and smoke detector, plus two months of SimpliSafe’s most comprehensive professional monitoring. Policyholders who choose to receive a SimpliSafe security system and activate it with monitoring within sixty days of receipt will receive an automatic discount on their Selective insurance policy. Professional monitoring must be kept active to maintain the policy discount.

SimpliSafe offers professional monitoring without long-term commitments, meaning any Selective homeowner policyholder who elects to receive a SimpliSafe security system can choose to cancel their monitoring services anytime. Policy discounts automatically apply to their homeowner’s insurance policy with Selective but are eliminated with cancellation of monitoring.

This offer is available to eligible Selective homeowner policyholders in select states. To learn more, policyholders can reach out to their local Selective agent.

Selective Insurance Group Inc. is a holding company for 10 property/casualty insurance companies. Through independent agents, the insurance companies offer standard and specialty insurance for commercial and personal risks and flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program’s Write Your Own Program.
