I am surprised you don't understand the need for this, so let me try and help explain.

I do not have a peephole on my front door. When someone comes to the door and I am at home, I want to be able to see who it is. I do not want to have to open the app on my phone, much less wait for the connection with the camera to load in order to see who is at the door.

More importantly, I want my kids to be able to see who is at the door before they decide whether to open it. They do not have devices on which to use the simplisafe app.

What we are all asking for is a screen that is dedicated to the camera feed/s, which we can mount either near the door, or wherever we like, which received camera feed directly from the cameras. Even if it has to go through the Simplisafe server, which is not ideal. Nobody wants to have to open an app and wait for it to load the camera feeds, just to see who is at the door!

Some people have been asking for continuous camera feeds, so the picture is always available. Others would be satisfied with motion detection-activated feeds. Some may want to mount the screen others may want it to be mobile.

The bottom line is that we all want a screen dedicated to camera feeds. We do not want to have to use our phones or tvs or any other devices to see who is at the door in real-time when we are at home.

@zeebop34​ I understand the "peephole" piece. I just wanted to make sure I'm relaying the ask accurately to our dev team.

Yes, our cameras do need to link with our servers first in order for both live streams and recordings to work. Unfortunately for now, maintaining a constant feed is not feasible with our camera system.

@zeebop34​ You make some great points here. For us, we might just be watching tv in the family room with our phones in another room. We might then have to pass by the windows around our front door to retrieve a phone, log in and view it. Not ideal if you don't want the person at the door to know you're home, especially solicitors. If it's a neighbor, they might be gone by the time we do all that with our phones. I found this page expecting there to be a solution other than dedicating a tablet to staying logged in. A Google AI search result suggests that others have requested a smart tv app that pops up notifications when the doorbell is rung. That would be great too.
