Hi @chris_long 

Could you clarify for us what exactly happens with the 2 cameras that sort of work and the 3rd that won't at all? 
We would have different troubleshooting steps depending where in the process of set up / usage the problem occurs, as well as which cameras are experiencing the issues. 

You could check the following in the meantime:

A short list of requirements can be found below:

  • Your Wi-Fi network must be broadcasting 2.4GHz

    • SimpliSafe® cannot connect to 5GHz networks

  • Your SSID and password cannot exceed more than 31 characters each

  • Your network must be configured as WPA2 or WPA3/2 Mixed Mode

    • WPA3 only networks are not compatible with SimpliSafe® at this time

You could also reference our troubleshooting articles for cameras here: https://support.simplisafe.com/en_GB/categories/cameras/670bc0ad8851213a1a0f0f75
