Getting notified when activity zones are changed

Does anyone know a workaround so that a SimpliSafe user can get notified whenever their camera’s activity zones are adjusted? I was told there is no log of this. 

Why this is important: Mirroring spyware allows the hacker to have access to everything on a persons phone and even make changes to apps as if those changes are coming from the persons phone. As an example, say Person A was residing, and in an abusive relationship, with Person B. Because they share a residence, person B has access to Person A’s phone and could install spyware. So if Person A is finally able to get out of the home and find a new residence and gets SimpliSafe, but the mirroring spyware is still on Person A’s phone, then it is theoretically possible for person B to get access inside the residence after turning off all motion detection as well as the door’s sensor so as to go unnoticed.

Hopefully, this is not a common situation and I know SimpliSafe is continuously improving by preventing WiFi jamming, etc. And in today’s digital age where such practices and spyware are on the rise and getting better, a feature that notifies SimpliSafe users every time the activity zones (and other settings) are adjusted, and puts this on the timeline could go a long way to helping SimpliSafe customers be (and feel) safer. 

Any ideas for workarounds? 

Thank you!

Hi @trl711,

 

Currently, the timeline does not track whenever a device's settings have been changed. But if you publish this as an "Idea" post under the Product Requests and Suggestions section of the Community, we can pass this along to our dev team.
