Schedule motion detection on Outdoor Cameras

Any updates on the multiple requests to add camera motion on off schedules?

This question is for the SimpliSafe Software Dev Team, have your customers multiple feature requests to add camera scheduling to your app resulted in live development at SimpliSafe? 

I just got my outdoor camera installed and have this same issue as it records me and sends me alerts while the system is in off mode... this seems extremely off as why would anyone want this? Feeling like I wasted a bunch of money.

Totally agree, I was in the process of installing my outdoor camera and was constantly getting notifications. When I looked at recordings I saw my hands, the sky, the ground. Should not be! Should activate when I decide or when armed!

P.S addition to my first post. I would think this is a software fix!

I agree with all of the above. When the system is off you should be able to elect that the camera does nothing. When armed it will do what it is supposed to do. Please I'm sure it is a software change very simple very easy.

I really dont appreciate my camera recording me when I get out of bed & go into the living room!  Seems very fishy to me. It is not set to record motion when it is set to home & not set for anyone but ME to be able to view it from outside the home. It has done this before randomly & it makes me feel like someone is able to spy on us somehow & no one wants to be filmed when they may walk thru undressed! There is nothing in the app that lets me stop the recording without resetting the camera & going thru all THAT non-sense

Come on SimpliSafe! How many of these comments need to be posted until these issues are addressed and corrected???

The fact that when I decide to enjoy an afternoon on the patio, and I end up with 100 motion events and recordings, resulted in me disabling the notifications entirely. This makes it far less likely to notice if there was an overnight event while I was sleeping and the alarm was on. It would essentially get drowned out in all the noise. We really should be able to tie camera behavior to alarm state.

This is a pretty glaring hole in what the outdoor camera security system is of benefit for. Not being able automatically turn the outdoor camera motion sensors off when the system is in "OFF" mode seems pretty counterintuitive. I'm using them for a business where there are people constantly triggering the motion sensors and it gets to be a pretty big hassle. It also inhibits providing actual security, as the push notifications become white noise and not actual alerts to take action on.

Is there any update on when it will be added? I can't imagine most customers being satisfied with this feature not being integrated with the product.

This lacking feature and SimpliSafe's willingness to do nothing about does not speak well for the company.  They also just increased the cost of monitoring claiming bogus reasons.  When I went with SimpliSafe it was due to them being all decent system that offered cellular integration and wireless sensors.  Now that is not the case.  SimpliSafe now has competition so it appears the only way SimpliSafe will take their customers serious is for them to start losing customers.  I am given them just a couple more months before I start making the switch to another company.  It just really sucks I have so much money invested in a system that is so sub par.

I would LOVE a schedule for motion detection on the cameras. To be honest I'm surprised there isn't something like this. People like me are in the areas where the cameras are. So it continuously records and detects motion. I would love to be able to "arm" motion detection or at least set a schedule. 

No commercial building wants camera alerts for motion during business hours and yet after a year of asking and a dozen volunteers a relatively simply addition has still not been added. 

It’s bad enough to me that the cameras feel clearly inferior to competitors still but the fact that basic scheduled motion alert options or at the very least tying that feature into the ARMED system status is now bordering on deliberate. 

I’ve got three properties using SS and because of that I should also be using all the cameras as well for less subscriptions and convenience but the refusal to add basic necessary additions makes me wonder if should’ve followed my alarm to my camera maker. 

PLEASE add this 

I am amazed to read how Davey D - supposed "Community Admin" has been monitoring this thread for many months (as apparent from his recent response on a different matter) without any attempt to address the concerns of many SS users regarding the glaring defect of the absence of functionality of camera monitoring scheduling and the status of any correction. 
I can only deduce that Davey D and his overseeing boss are numskulls who should have no role in customer service.  Their actions have likely resulted in significantly smudging the reputation of SS and a loss of customers that can easily lead to a loss of corporate revenue.  I would not want to be in their shoes when someone competent reviews this thread.

I think that all of us SS users can agree on wishing Davey D Good Riddance.

This is an enhancement request.  The SimpliSafe system would be a 5 star in my opinion if it could allow users to set monitoring times for outdoor camera.  That is, the pool area has a LOT of activity during the day.  I only want that area monitored at night.  If there was a setting to tell the app to monitor this camera, say, only 8pm - 7am, or from disk until dawn, SimpliSafe would have a superb product.

It needs to be camera-specific.  All other cameras should have the option as well.  Like, monitor the front door and side doors 24x7, but allow me to set the monitor time for the back yard and pool area.

Currently, I am charging the pool area camera almost weekly; the front door only needs a charge monthly.

Thanks in advance.  I certainly hope for a response.
