Simplisafe App suggestion for Outdoor Camera
I recommend adding a feature to the simplisafe app for the outdoor camera that allows you set a schedule for on and off in addition to the full-time on or off function already included. I have another camera from a competitor that has this functionality built in.
It's great as I have it preset for activation at a certain time each night and deactivation at a specific time each morning.
Anyone else interested please provide your input.

What happens if you don't have a camera... so that you don't require the "Interactive" subscription plan...
Well....you LOSE connectivity to Amazon...that's what happens
Extremely stupid policy....and smacks of money-grubbing !!!

Agreed. Scheduling cameras such that they effectively sleep during hours when either notifications/security are not required would be a battery saver, and would temper the amount of notifications that aren't security-related during "off" hours. Scheduling of the cameras should be separate and distinct from alarm scheduling, although it might be preferable to allow arming the alarms to automatically turn on cameras for activity, independent of their schedule.

I have two Simplisafe Outdoor cameras and five Arlo Pro cameras. I am able to create a schedule to control on-off times and thus extend the life of the Arlo batteries. I want to be able to do the same with my Simplisafe Outdoor cameras and wish I'd checked into this before buying them.
My Arlo's are "on" from 9pm to 8am as I don't need them on during the daylight hours.
Simplisafe should offer such a service.
