Frequently Asked Questions

How does tattletale® differ from ADT?

tattletale® is fully DIY (literally just plug it in and you're protected), completely portable, and has no contracts—cancel anytime. ADT requires professional installation and typically involves 3-5 year contracts. tattletale® uses dedicated cellular connectivity that can't be disabled by cutting wires or jamming Wi-Fi, making it more secure and reliable.

How does tattletale® differ from SimpliSafe?

Tattletale is designed as a fully portable, all-in-one alarm base with motion detector, siren, and strobe built into one device. The HOME model supports up to 95 wireless sensors and uses a dedicated cellular link via Verizon.

SimpliSafe is a DIY modular system where you add a base station plus separate sensors—it supports around 100 sensors and offers contract-free monitoring, but the base doesn't include a built-in motion detector or siren like tattletale's all-in-one unit. tattletale's rugged "Ambush-Proof" tamper-trigger technology makes it ideal for portable, non-traditional deployments like rentals, RVs, and remote sites, while SimpliSafe is more typical for traditional home setups.

Can tattletale® be used without monthly monitoring?

Yes, it works as a local siren even without monitoring. The device will still sound its 95-115 dB alarm and flash its strobe when motion is detected. However, you won't receive remote alerts or professional monitoring without a subscription.

Does tattletale work if the power goes out?

Yes, tattletale has a built-in rechargeable battery that provides 40+ hours of backup power. This is longer than most competing systems.

Can I take tattletale with me when I move?

Absolutely! That's one of tattletale's biggest advantages. Just unplug it and take it to your new location. It works anywhere with cellular coverage, no re-installation needed.

What's the range of tattletale Home security?

Tattletale Home can cover over 18 acres out of the box, and with range extender add-ons, coverage expands to over 150 acres. This makes it ideal for large properties, estates, and rural homes—far beyond what typical home security systems can cover.
