Hi @charper1 ,
SimpliSafe's Outdoor Camera (at $179.99) is competitively priced compared to similar units with AI-assisted motion sensing, IP67 water and dust resistance, battery power, and more.
We're not going to pretend that there aren't any cheaper alternatives out in the wild, especially from non-US companies. But as you've mentioned, what we offer is an ecosystem - exemplified by the Video Verification feature that can send your recordings to an operator during an emergency, so they can act as eyewitness to a crime in progress if you're not able to respond. Anyone can make an internet-connected camera; ours is part of a complete home security solution that puts you in control.

@charper1 If you are waiting for an answer from SS, get ready for a long wait. I should say from a hardware design and build standpoint, they are quality through and through.

hmm, have equal and better, only thing they do not do is integrate into SS dashboard and monitoring. $79 - $99. SS cams are grossly over-priced.
