I'm still waiting on that doorbell camera...
I'm really tired of waiting. We've heard very little from Simplisafe, except "getting close to production," but I thought it was supposed to be out earlier?
I'd really like a doorbell that integrates with my security system, but I'm starting to look at other products to fulfill my needs. Many burglars knock or ring the doorbell to see if someone is home before attempting a break in. Having a doorbell that I could answer remotely is exactly what I need. I have the interactive membership, so I should be able to reply/view on my phone. I really hope there's a 2-way audio (which was a fail in the camera which lacks this), or else I probably will purchase a competitor's.

I'm looking to upgrade to SS3 and hopefully get the doorbell as well. But yea, it doesn't exist yet today. This is why I am looking at Nest. The problem with Nest is that they are new and I disagree with some of their design decisions. But maybe that will work for them. Ring is kind of a joke. The only thing it has going for it is a cheap monthly plan. Other than that it's very dated looking and has a crappy camera for the doorbell (at least how I've seen it). So I feel a little stuck with SS at the moment. Not a bad kind of stuck but an unsatisfied stuck.

I have a SimpliSafe system that is working well, a Ring doorbell, a outdoor security camera linked to a Synology NAS (ie - no cloud storage fees), and a Nexx garage door alert system, each with their own app on my phone. Each system will alert my phone with events I need. I suppose fewer apps would reduce the clutter on my phone screen, but I've got all security related apps grouped together, so that's not much of an advantage that I can see.
The SimpliSafe system costs me $10/month, Ring costs $30/year, Synology and Nexx have no annual fees.
How would integration benefit me?

Yes, I have an Ecobee 4 thermostat. Would love for it to be integrated via my Echo into my SS3, but, so far, doesn't look like it will happen. And then there is that doorbell. No Ring products for me, I want all of my cameras integrated with SS.
Door locks? Thanks but no thanks, very happy with my Schlage. Personal preference for all. Yay.
