Outdoor Camera Review

@davey_d​ thanks for your response. How can I take advantage of these updates? Are the software updates automatic? Honestly, SimpliSafe should invite its buyers to send back their cameras and get a heavy discount for a version 2.0 (if one is being developed). I can accept an inadequate user interface, but the performance, picture quality, and speed is below expectations relative to market peers. 

@gussentementes , camera firmware updates are indeed automatic. Performance is definitely continuing as a major focus for future updates. Stay tuned.

@gussentementes​ I said the suggested thing when I was bamboozled into buying a second indoor camera which I then had to buy an outdoor kit because they were unclear about the release date if any for the outdoor camera. Their support team is horrendous and didn't do anything to rectify the situation. I 100% agree, Simplisafe should rectify releasing subpar products and make it right for existing customers and especially when customers spend over a $1000+ on their systems and continuing monitoring.

@skerman37​ we understand we're you're coming from, and we've already forwarded multiple similar requests to our engineering team. But please keep in mind that just like all of our cameras, the Outdoor Camera is locked down so that only you are able to view recordings from it. We strongly agree that privacy goes hand-in-hand with security.

Of course, if and when we push out an update for the camera to add this feature, I will let you know.

100% agree with this.  The Indoor Camera has different settings for Off, Home or Away.  But the Outdoor Camera does not.  Why is that?

Honestly, even Off, Home or Away is not enough.  Why not add a fourth or even fifth mode that can be user customizable?  Off, Home, and Away are the bare minimum.... why offer the bare minimum?  People like options.  I would love it if you could add a User 1 and even a User 2 custom preset.  That would be super helpful.
