@kaylawalsh Let me start with do not get the Simplicam unless you just want to monitor some area in your home and that's it.
Next, if you want an outdoor camera, only purchase the series 2 camera with the small bump out on the bottom. Audio pickup to vastly improved and can be used in conjunction with the new pro guard monitoring. Series 1 cannot. Video is better too
For indoor, the Smart Alarm camera is the way to go. Core monitoring includes the former "FastProtect" and allows SS monitoring agents to speak and deter intruders. Also, the built in motion sensor is excellent!! (The Simpicam one is terrible).
I would hold off on the doorbell pro as a third party website said a new one would be coming out soon.
Finally, if you don't have a system yet (or even if you do) Costco has a complete SS3 system on sale until Nov 17th that has a base, keypad, several entry sensors AND an outdoor series 2 camera for $129, less than the cost of the camera alone from SS even on sale!
And, of course, you can call SS support and get their help and suggestions, which I encourage you to do.
