Review of Firmware 1.20 for Outdoor Cameras

After 3 days of experiencing the latest firmware update for the outdoor cameras (1.20) my verdict is firmly in (pun intended): a big thumbs up! My two outdoor cameras on Ac, one pointing due West on the front of my house and the other due East in the back, go from "wake up" to "live stream" consistently in 2 seconds flat. Additionally the newly introduced "pre-roll" feature makes video recordings much more timely and useful   A solid 9 out of 10, SS Product Dev. 

Why not a 10? A small matter with the description on the bottom of the panel from saying "Waking up camera". Hey, it's Performance Mode, so say it! Avoid any confusion for us customers so we don't have to guess if its in that mode or not.  Yes, nit pickin' here, but heck, I am an enduser, the bane of a programmer's existence. :-)

One last thing: now that you spoiled us with such great performance with the outdoor cameras, it seems I am dying of old age waiting for my SA cameras to live stream.  We need the name "Performance Mode" wth pre-roll for them too. New Years Day would make such a nice roll out day!

Finally, SS development team: Take a well earned bow, but now that you did, get your ho ho butts in gear and work on those SA cameras!

Happy Holidays to everyone and their families, customers, and SS associates alike!!
