I have SimpliSafe at two locations, but only one camera so far.  The system base station has battery backup and I believe uses cellular coverage for alarms, but the original camera relies on 120VAC to operate via USB power.  They have newer cameras that I believe are exterior and wireless, so maybe they communicate directly with the base station.  If they rely on internet and someone cuts the power to the house the entry sensors would work but not the camera(s).  Almost worth installing a small solar panel on the roof that feeds a backup battery so when some "smart" intruder cuts power thinking they re cutting internet, the backup would kick in and internet would keep working and thus the cameras as well.  Of course if internet is via cable and they are smart enough to cut the cable, you are SOL.
