Joe Peoples,
The biggest difference between the two generations is the radio signal. The Gen3 signal can work further, more efficiently, and way more securely. But none of the Gen2 components can use that new signal. So long story short, anything that uses the local radio is not cross-compatible; not just sensors, but also Keypads and Fobs, Sirens, etc.
Both the Video Doorbell Pro and the Simplicam, however, connect through your home's WiFi connection instead, and only speak to the Base Station through the internet. So they can work with all generations of SimpliSafe system (or even without it!).
