Motion Detection by System Arming State for Outdoor Camera

We’re excited to let you know that a popular feature request from our Community is now available as a part of firmware version 1.35 - Motion Detection by System Arm State for Wireless Outdoor Security Camera!

Similar to the Smart Alarm Indoor Camera, you can customize your Wireless Outdoor Security Camera even further by changing the motion detection to coincide with your system’s arming state. This means you can now adjust when your camera records as it is directly tied to your system’s arming state. This feature is not available for the Outdoor Security Camera Series 2 at this time.

How to Change These Settings

To change your motion detection based on the arming state:

1. Open the SimpliSafe® Mobile App on your phone or tablet

2. Choose My System from the bottom navigation bar

3. Select Camera Settings

4. Tap on the camera you wish to manage

5. Under Camera Behavior, tap on your arming state to adjust the settings

6. Toggle ON or OFF Motion Detection, as needed

7. Choose SAVE in the upper right corner of the app to save your selections

NOTE: your camera will not record unless motion is detected in any arming state when the arming state is configured to detect motion.
