Temporarily Suspend Camera Motion Sensor

I want to suspend the camera motion sensor like a ring doorbell where you can suspend the detection and recording of video for a certain amount of time. 

Why doesn't SimpliSafe give this as an option on the Dashboard where you can easily enable and disable the video sensor?

@gordon314 Not quite the same but you can "suspend" notifications on the cameras for 30 minutes or 60 minutes now. When you get a push notification from the camera you can select either option. There is a request in that is under development to match camera motion behavior to system states (Off, Home and Away)

Hi @gordon314, 

Captain11 is spot on! We do have a Snooze Notifications feature that allows you to pause receiving motion notifications for your cameras for a set amount of time. However, snoozing notifications will not stop the camera from recording. 

Out devs are also actively working on a feature that will allow you to tie the camera's motion detection to your system's armed state, so when you system is in Off Mode the camera will not record. When this feature is ready to roll out, we will provide an update over in this thread in the Community. Be sure to follow that thread to be notified when the feature is ready to go live!
