Outdoor Camera buzzing when active
Our camera engineering team is investigating a rare issue with the Outdoor Camera, which generates a loud buzzing when activated - e.g. when livestreaming from the SimpliSafe app. The noise seems to be coming from the unit itself, and not just the camera feed.
We have not yet found a cause, but if you are experiencing this issue, please let us know here.

Hi,
yes - my outdoor camera is buzzing loudly when I view from iPad or iPhone. It is quite annoying.

I also have an outdoor camera that just started with the buzzing two days ago. Only in live view. Any further updates to a solution?

Hi! One of our outdoor cameras is also making this sound. We have 7 cameras in total for our business, and this one is powered by the SimpliSafe Solar Panel. When noticed, I took the battery out and charged it traditionally, and then placed it back on. When I screwed on the camera lens, I noticed the sound it usually makes was muffled. Almost like something was blocking the speaker. It wasn't blown, but almost like something was in it. Love these cameras (wish that there was an instant "connect" instead of having to have them wake up first, but they are great. The sound then resumed. It's a loud rattle!

My outdoor camera also has a loud buzzing sound in live view. The sound remains after a soft reboot (removing and charging the battery) and a firmware reset and reinstall of the camera. What’s the next fix?
