Firmware 1.41 (Cameras): Major Update!

Weird that the firmware update as reported by Simplisafe is so bland for this camera update (1.41):

https://support.simplisafe.com/conversations/updates/latest-firmware-updates/62aa393c5d9c8e1aba0ac13e

I found 2 MAJOR changes with this update that are not being reported:

1. Ability to "reorder your cameras" in how they appear on your device (dragging them in a list to change the order of appearance)

2.  Series 2 Outdoor Camera:  can now separately set motion detection on or off by alarm mode (off, home or away).    This already applied to the original outdoor camera, but now is available for the Series 2 Outdoor camera.

Surprised that there is no announcement of these quite major (and welcome) changes.

@Pack I got the update and didn't notice anything different. Just confirmed 1.41 version and if I press down on a camera it darkens the icon and words and looks like it will move but haven't figured that out yet. How did you actually rearrange them?

@captain11  I'm assuming you have iOS -- in the app on the Cameras page, at the top right (next to the settings wheel), is a little icon with an arrow (which is new).  When I click that, it takes me to this screen:

If I press and hold either of the rows shown in the image (anywhere on the row for either camera), it allows me to drag while still holding it, to reorder them in that list. 

Also, if you have a series 2 camera, you should now see the ability to configure motion detection separately for each alarm state (off, home or away).

Also, make sure you are on app version 2300.31.1 (I see my app updated to that 2 days ago, and the camera reorder is part of that update, not the camera firmware update).

@Pack My series 2 confirmed but I have a Pixel 8, running Android of course. It appears it is designed so you can press, hold and drag right from the camera listing after you press the gear icon but, alas, I can't seem to get it to work. Either still a SS work in progress or I have 10 thumbs.  With me, it could be either. :-)  I should also add I do not have the sort icon like yours in the app.
