Q: QuestionDoes this need motion to set it off or can it record without motion?(4 answers)

SimpliSafe Cameras in action!
I have four of these camera to replace my outdated Arlo system. I found them very easy to install through the app. The resolution is great. Not sure how long the batteries will stay charged and intend to purchase either additional batteries so that the cameras won't be out of service while their batteries charge or one of those Solar Panel kits.

Needs improvements
I purchased this camera to add onto my Simplisafe security system. I was delighted to see they had an outdoor camera so I purchased this since I've had a great experience with all the other components, including the basic indoor camera. The installation of the outdoor camera was very easy and took under 5 minutes (with the right tools). The main issue I've had so far with this camera is the connectivity. I used my main wifi connection in the house and it kept disconnecting or would stay on fine then disconnect later. I bought a mesh wifi network to broaden the wifi signal so now the wifi connection is literally a few feet away from where the camera is installed outside. Still, having the same issue. I've tried several wifi network connections and no luck. I don't feel like this camera is good enough in its current state. There may need to be further updates before it will be great; but unfortunately, I'll need to return this one because I don't feel like it's providing the security it's designed to for the home. I further tested it out by going outside at 12am walked around my drive way for a few minutes and it never captured anything. The camera just stays asleep. It would be nice if the outdoor camera had the option to check the wifi connection, as this feature is available for the indoor camera. I believe this is an extremely important feature missing for the outdoor camera since these tend to be further away from the home wifi network. I love the idea of this actually integrating with the current Simplisafe ecosystem but i wish it would do the most basic thing, which is keeping a connection and detecting motion. Not sure if I just received a defective camera and I'm still open to trying it one more time but as for the one I bought, it's definitely not doing the job.
