Thanks for the question! We have a step-by-step guide for how to download your recordings on the Help Center here.
Please note that individual videos are automatically removed after 30 days. There is no way to recover those older videos, so we would advise that you download them before they're automatically removed.
@rrr SimpliSafe has never disclosed user video to law enforcement without the consent of our customers or when legally required to do so in connection with a search warrant. Consumer privacy is a core value at SimpliSafe, and therefore, as a matter of practice, we do not share this data with law enforcement unless required to do so by law.
@emily_s I am in sort of a similar situation - there is a possibility that that I may need to show an old video in court that has since been automatically deleted since it is >30 days old but it is from just a few months ago. If I request that specific video, is it recoverable in that instance and can be provided to me? Thanks!
@BDB Recordings are removed from your timeline after 30 days, but I have gone ahead and forwarded your case to our specialist team for further assistance. We'll see what we can do regarding this recording.
@emily_s we are similarly being requested for evidence in a legal proceeding and require a recording from 11/4/23. This request was only put to us after the 30 days or we would have already downloaded the recording! Would you be able to assist and forward our case or point us in the right direction? Thank you in advance!
@emily_s could you do the same for me regarding a video of when I got shot on Oct 23rd 2025? It's between 11:29 pm then skips to 11:37 pm after I was shot. I'm just returning home from the trauma unit and it's literally gone. Please please please help me.
Hello I know that videos are removed after 30 days but i have a video that just got removed, can a video for Feb 1 from 1:30pm to 2:30pm. I will possibly need to submit for evidence.
Hey @jmm19811, thanks for your question. At cancellation, we now delete all the cameras associated with a subscription, meaning the camera recordings are also gone. It is recommended to download all videos to a local drive before making any account changes.
I need help recovering a video from when I got shot October 23rd 2025 it was deleted apparently upon me being in trauma unit at hospital I'm just coming home and it starts 11:29 October 23rd 11:29 p.m. and then skip to 11:37 p.m. after I've been shot and then so on when the police and ambulance arrive. I need help with it immediately I'm being told I'm a liar I have no proof some people saying I got beat up in my gun got took from me and I was shot with my own gun when I know the gun was to my head on my own front porch please help

Can any older recordings be subpoenaed by an attorney?

How do I download a bulk listing of videos without doing each individually? May I request a week of videos that are still available?

My service has cancelled so how long will I have access to the past videos?
