Best Remote Monitoring? Ring, SimpliSafe or other? Issues after power outtages?

[Brian Kantor]

Hi there. We use Ring Doorbells and Cameras for our STR in Vermont. We're in a rural part of the state with heavy winds, snow and rain much of the year. As such, power outages and down cable lines are commonplace.

We recently added Ring Doorbells and have noticed that every time the power goes out, one of the two units fails to reconnect when the power goes back on.

Questions for y'all:

1) Does anyone know if this is a device issue or a flaw in the software?

2) Ring does not allow the ability to reconnect remotely, I have to do it when I am at the property, which renders remote monitoring useless. Does SimpliSafe or another provider offer the ability to reconnect remotely?

Thanks!
