is there an outdoor camera which will work with the current (new) simplisafe system ?
I just purchased and installed a system this week and had 2 questions.
1. Outdoor camera?
2. Compatibility with NEST CO/Smoke sensors

Watch this video, near the end they show off the 2 upcoming cameras. There has been no ETA on them, but looks like they are close if they are willing to show them off.

Ill let someone else answer question 2, I don't use any of those items.

Personally,I wouldn't wait to be disappointed by SimpliSafe.You could start by checking out what BestBuy has to offer.Talk to the Geeks.They probably have camera systems that can record/send video to your computer or cellphone.It doesn't have to integrate with the alarm system to be effective.

1. @drunkpenguin is correct on this.
2. For the SimpliSafe Original, we have compatibility with the Nest Thermostat, but not the Nest CO/Smoke Detectors. For the All New SimpliSafe, the Works With Nest feature is coming soon.

Our Outdoor Camera is under active development! We'll be sure to let everyone know when they're ready!
To connect your Nest Thermostat with the All-New SimpliSafe, use these following instructions!
1. On your Dashboard, select the menu ( ≡ ) on the top left-hand corner.
2. Under Settings, you will find the option System. Select this.
3. At the bottom of this page you will see Integration.
4. Follow the instructions listed and then select Authorize.

Do you have a target date for launch, not expecting an exact date but indicative, eg June, July or Aug...
I'm planning to buy the outdoor camera within couple of weeks. My preference is to get SS cameras since I'm on your system. I dont want to buy another brand and within 1-2 months you launch your new camera.
The new outdoor camera and doorbell has been announced since Jan and it's been a few months since. I hope you are close to official launch.

Do not get me wrong, I was satisfied with SS2 and have been extremely satisfied with SS3, but sometimes it is like, "come on." They run a vast/successful company but miss so many of the little things at times. One of the most significant problems being relaying information promptly or implementing small improvements that you are only left wondering why would they not (a simple search function, a centralized area dedicated to the answers of redundant questions that customers consistently ask, etc.)?
For example, their employees are left to re-answer questions all of the time. What company would not want a solution to correct such a problem? It is not as if the answer is complicated to implement so, sometimes (like today), it irks me.
I cannot even begin to think of a strategy as to why they would not tell us they are working on such things or when we can merely expect things. They must be very careful, tech moves quickly and customers are not nearly as loyal as they have been in the past (regarding anything, anymore).

Asking rhetorically, knowing it will generate discussion, which is going to upset the customer more (1) missing the original date and no updates until the device is released or (2) the three announced dates were missed with SS repeatedly "promising" the device's release.
I am not promoting either option. I would prefer SS meet the originally announced release date on any of their products! Have they met an announced release date yet?
UPDATE: I would rather they get the device to work correctly with the initial release vs releasing a "buggy" device.

The promised integration for Amazon Echo and Google Assistant were achieved, with the surprise integration with August locks. With the reported FCC filing last month on the doorbell, hopefully will be out soon.
