My Apple device is beeping. What does that mean?

If your Apple device is beeping through the SAMi App, it could be doing that for one of two reasons:

Beep on Camera Fault – This setting causes a periodic beep alert to sound if SAMi is not sensing motion. The normal setting is ON. This also enables the beep if you get an iOS notification that pauses the SAMi app, for example a battery low warning. Note that the alert will only beep if the alarm is enabled or if the mic is on.

Beep on App Not Active – When on you will get an alert if the SAMi app stops running. If you touch the alert the SAMi app will restart. Note that if you immediately exit the SAMi app again you will not get another alert; the app must be running for a while for this alert to re-arm. Note also that we recommend using “Guided Access Mode” instead of this alert if you can as “Guided Access Mode” will automatically restart the app if it is stopped.

You can adjust these settings from the SAMi App if you do not want to have the app beep.
