    I am slowly getting rid of my blinks and putting these in. They seem better quality to me. Only downside is the blink battery last a long time. These you get a month or so.

    Charge the battery and screw the mount to the wall. That’s about all there is to installing the outdoor camera. The magnetic mount makes it easy to remove the battery and aim the camera. I’ve been waiting years for SimpliSafe to make a wireless outdoor camera and it was worth the wait. Night vision works well as does the motion sensor

    Overall it was a good purchase, although the setup was not easy at all, it says it only takes like 30 minutes, but it really took us about 2 hours. When you turn on the cameras for live view, it takes a couple of seconds, so you can get some delays. It's not the best system, but we're hoping it will scare away intruders.

    Very slow response to any activity that is being detected by the camera. Delay of the activity being noticed by the camera between 2 - 5 minutes. Battery life is not as advertised. With the lowest setting and perhaps one notification per day max battery life is about 5 weeks. This product needs some work.

    Terrible Product

    We have now tried 2 of these cameras, and both will be returned because they work so poorly. They will detect some, but not all, motion, but the main problem is that the camera will not stay connected to WiFi, so there is zero video. We have always had great performance from our 2 SImplisafe systems, including our indoor camera, and we are shocked that Simplisafe has put out such a poor product. We contacted SImplisafe customer support for help, but they had nothing to offer except that the cameras are defective and need to be replaced. We may try one more time, but considering that we’ve already tried 2 cameras with no success, I’m not holding my breath.

      So sorry to hear about the trouble you've had with your Outdoor Camera. It sounds like the issue is with connectivity, so troubleshooting interference and range to your WiFi router might help. But our engineering team is also constantly hard at work on optimizing all of our products, and upcoming firmware updates to your cameras might improve performance. SimpliSafe
