SimpliSafe is not really conducive to that sort of use.
I use about a dozen Dahua PoE IP cams and experimenting with an additional four wireless IP cams using Blue Iris (BI) software on some used Dell OptiPlex computers. The systems run/record 24/7/365 and automatically send me snapshots of various trigger events, etc. The BI software is pretty powerful. I use a small fraction of its capability. I think you can use up to 64 cameras.
Can log into either system remotely and view live footage or stored video. There isn't any timeout on the live views. If you can maintain a connection you can live view indefinitely far as I know.
You can set up a video wall to see multiple camera and cycle though others if you want.
