New Cameras Coming?

@ms43482 possibly. If you do a google site search on the forums, you will see posts about a FCC filing on a 1080 camera, separate from the video doorbell.  Wouldn't be surprised with the Simplicam selling at 50% off at Best Buy that SS releases an updated camera.  Unless it has some great new feature, like zoom and better night vision, I doubt I will upgrade.

Every Best Buy that I've been to have almost nothing left from SS after the holidays.  It looks like they'll be restocking in the next few weeks.

@ms43482 SS did show off some prototypes at their "small home" at CES 2018 and, if I remember correctly, the outdoor cameras are the only thing left on their previously announced product road map. That said, given the abrupt and surprise announcement of the doorlock release, my money would be on a spring release. Of course, I could as easily predict an alien invasion from Pluto with the same level of accuracy. :-)

@usmaak, great question. See link below and go to approximate time at 10:40.  They show two cameras, and Chad says battery powered, with motion on lights. Hope they add zoom, good night vision and an option to connect to AC.  My idea of climbing a ladder to go to the roof line to change batteries is not my definition of a good time.

@ms43482, for me, and my experience, the lock is a winner. Great design and works well. Note some have reported issues but mine is fine. Also, if you get it and install, suggest a large 3M commend strip on top be added to keep firmly in place. Great design.

Also note you have to keep your existing deadbolt on the outside. If you have questions, call SS before buying to avoid any surprises.

@ ms43482  what do you mean by "Simplisafe pin pad"? The keypad? If so, mine have gone for about 10 months with no issue. Do you have battery saver mode on?

The lock was installed first week it was released and so far, so good.

@ms43482 I recommended a SS3 to my neighbor and one of his keypads was about 3 - 4 months, even on battery saver. He contacted SS and they replaced it at nc under the three year warranty.  No issues since then and going about 8 months.  I would try it and still having issues, contact SS.

Just checked the new Help Center, check this link. SS reports keypad batteries should last 6-8 months!
