Snooze Notification for Camera Motion
It would really be nice to be able to turn off all doorbell cameras at one time. If I'm working in the yard I usually turn them off. Now I have to go through that for each doorbell cam.

Great news everyone!
The Snooze Notification feature is now available for all users. You can access the option when a Camera Motion Notification appears.
This feature is available for all camera types - Outdoor Camera, Video Doorbell Pro, and Indoor Camera - and for all accounts, including those on Basic App Control.
On Android, expand the notification using the arrow on the top right to choose between the two options:

Hi. Is there a way to Pause or mute/silence Motion Detection on outside cameras and doorbells. For example- today my husband and I were outside working (so it is US setting the motion off) and by the time we were done my phone battery was flat dead between the two outdoor cameras and the doorbell constantly waking up.
It would be awfully nice to have a Silence for 30 minutes button/setting so like the yard guy mowing my lawn doesn’t drain my battery?

While mowing or doing any activities around the camera, it gets annoying getting all of the camera motion alerts. Would it be possible to "snooze" the recordings or alerts? Maybe have a prompt come up, after a couple of immediate alerts, and say "snooze alerts for x minutes"?
Thanks

Provide the ability to snooze notifications and/or recordings for x amount of time. Allow user to do this themselves in app; also consider push notifications asking user if they want to snooze after motion has been triggered so many times in some time frame.
It's annoying to get multiple notifications when you expect high traffic.
If you're running on battery, you may want to snooze recording when expecting high traffic and no need for recording.
Could also reduce network traffic, and SimpliSafe processing needs by allowing snooze feature.

I have an outside camera that covers my back yard and patio. I want it to detect motion most of the day and alert me, but when I'm home and want to enjoy the patio I have to turn it off or suffer constant motion warnings, then I have to remember to turn it back on or it is worthless. it is troublesome to navigate in the app to turn off motion sensing, and it would be nice if there was a "Disable motion sensing for x minutes" feature that was easy to get to, or maybe better to set times of the day that the camera would be inactive so I don't have to turn it off when I get home and back on before going to bed, or even link it to the alarm itself. Something to make it easier.
Finally it greatly reduces the battery life if it is recording me for 3 hours everyday while my family and I are in the back yard.

I've seen this idea posted elsewhere but it's worth repeating. PLEASE add a feature to snooze doorbell motion alerts for various periods of time. I still want to see motion alerts if my alarm is off, but if my family is on the front porch or my kid is playing in the yard I get motion notifications every time they walk near the front door. Please add the option to temporarily disable!

I would like to be able to open the app, and chose a 15, 30, or 60 minute time frame to disable motion sensors.
When my lawn service comes, I can get 18-25 notifications in an hour. I would like to be able to simply choose an amount of time that the motion sensors are disabled without having to remember to turn them back on.
Here's what it looks like on my Do Not Disturb app.
There is a NOW feature that will shut off my phone for preset amounts of time and even adds them up if you click multiple times. EG: I click the 15 min 3 times and it shuts my phone off for 45 minutes.

The SimpliSafe app for iPhone just updated and the notes say that it added a new feature: “Snooze notification action to motion push notifications”. However, I still don’t see how to use the new feature. This has been long awaited. How do you use it?

When my landscapers are here, my camera detects their motion and I get notifications very often that motion was detected. Would be helpful to be able enter the camera into a mode where I would not be notified about motion for a pre-determined amount of time (10, 15, 30 minutes) so I don’t get bombarded with notifications when they are here. After the pre-determined time is up, it would just go back to what it was.

How can you undo snoozing the notifications? Let's say for example you click snooze for 60 minutes, but the work you were doing in the yard is done after 20 and now you want the alerts to immediately resume.

Hello, could we have a feature that when you disable motion detection on a camera that it asks if you would like to turn it off, or only disable for an amount of time. I have a camera in my backyard, when I'm sitting out there I'd like the option to disable the motion detection for 3 hours or whatever, but then it automatically re-enables after that time period. Thanks for listening!
