Hi Davey,

Regarding this comment:

Fixes a major issue that negatively impacts the whole WiFi network for users with 4+ cameras

Does that mean 4+ outdoor cameras or 4+ cameras in general (indoor, doorbell, outdoor)?

I must say that with this update I no longer have the continuous 3 minute recordings at night and thus the battery life is much improved!

@gregter​ that would be 4+ Outdoor Cameras. They run on a newer platform than SimpliCam Indoor Cameras and Video Doorbell Pros, so those older units aren't affected.

And yes, that 3-minute recording bug should have been squashed way back in 1.10, but we've seen a small resurgence around the Community lately. Hopefully we've got it for good!

I stumbled across this update info while browsing the community. Why are we not alerted somehow otherwise when there are updates? I checked 1 of my 5 outdoor cams and do indeed have 1.15etc. version.

Please expand a little on what the negative wifi impact meant prior to the update.

When will the issue with indoor cams be fixed where a “;” is not properly generating the QR code to add a new camera?

@mattfuoco​ this firmware is for the Outdoor Camera only, and does not affect the SimpliCam Indoor Camera, nor the Video Doorbell Pro.

As for the issue that you mention - it's unfortunately hard coded, and therefore very difficult to get around. The QR code itself is really just plain text, which contains your WiFi login details and other important info. Different lines of the code are separated by semicolons, which is why the symbol breaks the camera's ability to scan.

Is there an action that needs to happen or does the camera update automatically?

@lc_cancro​ yes, our cameras all update on their own, and we roll out gradually. So if your camera doesn't have it yet, it will soon!

I have a camera that is still showing 1.12.2.384 and has not updated, my other camera has.  How do we push an update?  I recharged battery and unit was near base!

Hi @reggie_wilson_iii​, 

The Outdoor Camera's firmware updates on its own. All updates are gradually rolled out across devices, so your second camera should receive it soon!
