Wireless Battery Powered Video Doorbell

I have had several wired doorbells fail on me now.
I think they should add a battery operated doorbell to Simplisafe offerings. Hope they read these threads. 

Hi @oldcrate!

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately no, the only video doorbell compatible with SimpliSafe is our own. And yes, right now we've only got the one model that needs to plug into an existing wired doorbell. We'll definitely keep you updated if we ever come out with a model that fits your needs!

In the meantime, we do have the Wireless Outdoor Camera. Unfortunately, it's currently out of stock. But it's fully battery-powered and can be mounted anywhere, so that might be a good solution for watching over your door.

Don't know if you're keeping track, but I'll add another request here for a batter doorbell. We're using your system in two different locations and neither one of them has power to the front door. As such, we can't use the doorbell. 

All of your competitors have a battery operated doorbell, so it seems like something you should have too. 

Ditto, I need a video doorbell that runs on battery (like Ring has).  I do not have AC wiring at my front or back door.  Please add this to your products so I can dump Ring and switch my 2 doorbells to SimpliSafe.  Thanks

Throwing my 2 cents in as well. We have loved our Simplisafe video doorbell for several years but we just moved into a house with two doors that really need a video doorbell and they have absolutely no way of getting power to the front door. I really don't want to boot Simplisafe and our subscription service but the video doorbell is the most important part of our system and I really wouldn't keep paying Simplisafe if we had to use a different company's battery powered video doorbell.

@tchrisman2​ I absolutely hear you. We have submitted this feature request for a battery powered doorbell to our dev team, but unfortunately we do not have any updates on its status. 

As Davey mentioned above, we do have an Outdoor Camera which could maybe be a good solution as it is wireless and battery powered.

Since you now have wireless cameras are wireless door bells in the mix?

A Wireless Doorbell is definitely one of the top requests, which our engineering team is very well aware of. We'll keep you updated if we ever launch one!

I have been a satisfied Simplisafe customer for years.  Your suite of security devices is nearly complete, especially with the addition of the wireless outdoor camera.  I would like to add my vote for the development of a WIRELESS doorbell cam.   I rent a townhome and although my Simplisafe system provides me with total peace of mind over the security of my home, I would really appreciate the ability to monitor my front door and package deliveries.   I am resisting the purchase of a competitor product because I trust the Simplisafe brand and prefer to integrate my home security under a single TRUSTED system.  I remain hopeful Simplisafe will release a wireless doorbell cam in the near future.

Agree with wireless.  Newer homes don't have doorbell electrical outlets and would like battery option just like outdoor camera. 

Hi @Alex ​, 

The request for a wireless Video Doorbell has been requested before, so I went ahead and moved your post into this thread. We have submitted this request to our devs, and once we hear more from them we will provide an update in this thread!

Hi @wesleyjake ,

Merged your thread into this one. Right now, we have no news regarding a new battery version of the Video Doorbell. But if that ever changes, we'll keep you updated here.

Thanks @davey_d I appreciate the quick reply. Hopefully the dev team is working on something. In the meantime I'll see about returning it, or I may try to somehow rig this to an outside plug. For anyone else reading this, amazon blink makes a simple outdoor camera with a battery that has two way audio, that I used to use at my old house. There is no "bell" but could be a cheap alternative for some users. 

Overall though the simply safe cameras are an outstanding quality and I have found the setup and customer service amazing! 

Hi @jenwalker1979, 

A wireless, battery-powered Video Doorbell has been requested before, and we have submitted it to our dev team for their consideration. I do not have any news on whether this device is in production or not, but when we hear more we will let everyone know over in this thread. Be sure to follow that thread so you will be notified whenever we have an update!

I would also like to know if a wireless doorbell is in the works please. Our home cannot install a wired video doorbell.

@bcwhitemarsh @KristenMPath unfortunately, we currently have no news about a new wireless battery powered video doorbell in the works.

We do have the Wireless Outdoor Camera, which can watch over your doorstep, and allows for 2-way audio communication. You can learn more about it here.

@krswed​ apologies for the inconvenience. We do list an existing wired doorbell setup under our requirements on our website. But thank you for the feedback.

Ypu can go on Amazon and get an ohmkat for simplisafe video doorbell and it plugs into an outlet and then to the back of the doorbell

@slschn2015​ We have submitted this request to our devs, but at this time we do not have any updates about if it's in the works. Once we hear more, we'll post an update in this thread.

I agree with all the head scratching comments about the battery powered video doorbell.

I love my SimpliSafe system, but I need to have a Ring Doorbell. Doesn't make sense.

Thanks!
