The camera LEDs are designed to help inform you of what your camera is doing. You can turn the LEDs off in your camera’s settings.

Note that the little red light beneath the LED is the infrared sensor, which is activated at night. The privacy shutter will still prevent the camera from recording if it’s closed, even if the infrared sensor is on.

The lights listed below are the only colours that the camera will display. If you are seeing a colour that is not listed try changing the lighting in the room, as this can affect the look of the coloured lights.

LED Behavior	What does it mean?
Solid Yellow	Booting up or installing an update
Blinking White	Ready for setup
Solid White	Attempting to connect to Wi-Fi
Blinking Yellow	Connected to the internet, but not connected to SimpliSafe’s servers (can occur after a reboot)
Blinking Red	Unable to connect to Wi-Fi
Solid Blue	Connected and shutter open, ready to record or stream
Blinking Blue	Currently being viewed live, or a video recording is taking place
Off (No Visible LED)	Privacy shutter is closed or the LED has been disabled in settings
