We understand that as a user, privacy is important to you and you may not want to be recorded or heard when you’re inside your home. The Smart Alarm™ Wireless Indoor Security Camera has a physical and visible privacy shutter that has an audible click when opened or closed so you’re always aware of any of its changes. When motion is disabled on the camera, no audio or video will be captured and the shutter will remain closed unless you access the camera’s live view, or an alarm system event occurs such as an entry delay, power outage, or alarm is triggered.

To access the privacy shutter settings, follow these steps:

1. Open the SimpliSafe mobile app and navigate to the three-bar menu at the top left corner of the screen

2. Select My System

3. Choose Camera Settings

4. Select your Smart Alarm Camera

5. Scroll down to Camera Behavior and select the arming state you wish you edit

6. Adjust the Motion Detection toggle which controls the privacy shutter

1. On means that your camera will have the privacy shutter open and will detect motion events.

2. Off means that your camera will have the privacy shutter closed and motion events will not be detected.
