In-App Panic Button
I've seen that I'm not the first person to ask this, but is there any reason why the app doesn't have a panic or manual alarm button? I believe I saw that there are separate "panic button' fobs sold on the site, so the only reason I can see to not have it in the app is to boost sales of the fob. This seems like the type of thing companies like ADT and others would do. One of the reasons I decided to try out Simplisafe over updating my old system was the quality of the app and upsales like this the bigger companies like to slip in. Disappointing that customers have been asking for this for years and Simplisafe has done nothing. Makes me start to rethink just updating my old system.

Yes please add in-app panic button. I want to be able to turn on siren remotely if I see suspicious activity on my camera.

Please implement a way to trigger the alarm from the App. As many have stated, if I see intruders outdoors, I would rather trigger the alarm which means most will leave BEFORE breaking something.

Hello, would it be possible for your app’s software development team to add a PANIC button to the mobile app? Given the current video game era, many of us always have our phones in hand. In emergencies where, for any reason, one might not have armed their system and something happens, a panic button on the phone would be very handy.

Crazy to me that I can't trigger the alarm remotely--if I'm not at home--if I see an intruder on a camera, either indoors or in the backyard. While yes, a call to police is one of the next steps, I think a more immediate one is to attempt to scare them off with the alarm. Looks like this has been requested for quite some time now but just thought I'd add to the chorus.

Agree it would be amazing to have remote trigger capability. When we are out of town our daughter watches our house. Unfortunately there are times she forgets to arm the system when she leaves. While we do change notification settings & periodically check cameras, it doesn't happen the entire time we're on vacation. It would be great, if we saw an intruder, etc, to be able to trigger the alarm.

I was also surprised that there isn't a Panic function in the app. My home security system, from another provider, has this. I installed the Simpli-Safe system at my business. I just assumed it would have just as many features as my home system.
