Renaming device

Currently both my indoor camera and my doorbell camera have the same name. I would like to rename one of them. When I followed the instructions given by Simplisafe to find the device on my keypad and change the name there, I found out that those two devices are not listed. However, they are both working fine and I can see them on the app. Is there another way I can change the names of these devices?

@tpoteat123 There are several paths to get this done, but the easiest for me, is using the SS Webportal. Go to the website, sign in and go to your dashoard. then on the left navigation menu click on devices. Go to the device you want to rename, click on it, hit that backspace key and enter what you want. Then click save. Tada. Done.

If you run into issues, call support and they can do it for you. Happy holidays to you and your family!

Hi @tpoteat123,

 

Apologies! The key point of confusion is that the instructions that you were following seem to be for renaming the sensors. The Cameras can only be modified through the Simplisafe app, or your account online.

 

Here's how you find the right page on the web:

Menu > Devices

Click on the camera name here to change it. Don't forget to hit Save Changes at the bottom!

 

And here's how you navigate on the SimpliSafe app:

Menu > My System > Camera Settings > [your camera]

Click the camera name on the very top to change it. Tap Save on the top right.

I would just use the app to do anything
