Can't Scan Camera's QR Code
Seems that a class action suit is the only way any action will be made by Simplisafe. I've done all the same steps as others have outlined here and the refurbished replacement they sent me will not read a QR code even when trying in the middle of the night with near complete darkness behind my bright phone...the cameras are garbage thus making the rest of the system worthless...

Hi @koolgeeks,
I broke your comment off into its own post so we could continue to troubleshoot here.
When scanning the QR code, we want to make sure it’s being done in a well-lit room. So if you’re installing a Video Doorbell Pro I would try scanning its QR code during the daytime, and if you’re installing a SimpliCam there should be lights on in the room. We also want to make sure that the camera’s night vision is off when scanning the QR code.
I have also seen users experience success by slowly moving the phone closer, and then further away from the camera to have it scan the QR code. Or by taking a screenshot of the QR code and opening it up in their camera’s library.
But if this doesn't help please let me know and I can get you in touch with our Specialist team for further assistance.
