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.

How to Change These Settings

To change your motion detection based on the arming state:

Open the SimpliSafe® Mobile App on your phone or tablet
Choose My System from the bottom navigation bar
Select Camera Settings
Tap on the camera you wish to manage
Under Camera Behavior, tap on your arming state to adjust the settings
Toggle ON or OFF Motion Detection, as needed
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.

For more information about this feature, please visit our Help Center’s Camera Motion Detection by System Arming State article.
