Indoor Camera Recording After Disarm from Home
Is there any way at all to disable the 'feature' that the indoor cameras open their shutters and record video upon disarming the system from Home mode?
I tried searching for this and I only came up with posts that this is how it works by default, not any way to defeat it.
I have a camera right outside the master bedroom (where the keypad is) that points at an outside door that I use to take the dog out early in the morning to do his thing, and am usually half naked; I don't like disarming the system and then having a camera record these shenanigans!
Is there no way to disable this function?

@peavynation at this time, no. As long as the camera is associated with your alarm system, it will respond to those events.
But please don't worry, we believe that privacy goes hand-in-hand with security. Your videos are encrypted both in transit and at rest, so they're locked down and not accessible by anyone (not even SimpliSafe staff!) without your permission. And of course, you can remove videos from your Timeline at any time with the SimpliSafe app.

—> Indoor cameras that record when you are home is not a good thing! <—- I have the same issue. When disarming at home and being RECORDED walking through the dining room in less than appropriate clothing is very unnerving! It doesn’t matter that Simplisafe Employees won’t see it - it’s that fact the there is a recording of me AT HOME saved in the digital world. Plus, if I’m showing someone else a timeline of videos, I don’t want to them to wish they hadn’t seen something. This is a BIG deal and should be changed! The solution is to have the cameras only record when disarming from Away mode. They should never record when disarming from Home mode.

I most certainly agree with wbmp as well. This issue needs to be addressed or I will be cancelling my subscription.

We as customers hold the power. If we all start canceling our subscriptions that’s when we’ll begin to get results. There is power in unity.
