Activate Siren on all Camera’s and Alarm

It would be very useful and handy if there was a feature to sound the siren on all the installed camera’s and alarm within one location. I have multiple cameras and have always thought that it would be good to have a feature to turn on all the sirens simultaneously if needed to alert neighbours of a issue or scare someone away.

    I have recently brought the alarm base station set from Ring and this has been working fine. I last week purchased two floodlight cameras for front and back garden. Due to them having sirens as well i assumed that this would all sync up with the alarm base station. I.e when the house alarm goes off the sirens from the floodlight cameras would also trigger. However, this is not the case. Currently if the alarm is triggered the cameras record the event but i think having the sirens triggered as well would be an extra benefit to the whole package. As there is no external siren option with Ring products this could be a quick fix for that issue as the base station isn't very loud when you are outside the property.

    With the linked devices option, it would be amazing to allow us to utilize the sirens in our outdoor flood/cameras. We can already start recordings and turn on the lights... let us alert the neighbors and scare the %#^t out of an intruder as well.

      Ring should have an outdoor alarm siren that lights up . Because it’s alright having an alarm inside but if a burglar doesn’t know there is an alarm system inside . they will break either window or door .so then you have to buy a new window or new door . Where as in if the ring system has an outdoor siren that lights up .it warns burglars that there is an alarm system so burglars are less likely to break in the house . There’s plenty of z wave outdoor sirens about but if ring had there own it would also advertise ring aswell .

        A number of people have been asking for the same thing for a long time. You'd expect this to be a no brainer but ring seem to have other ideas.

          I was actually flabbergasted to find that this wasn't already the case, Ring you are absolutely missing a trick here and this has to be such a simply linking of your products that it's simply unbelievable it doesn't already happen

            I agree, this is an obvious missing feature. I think there may be more to it than they just didn't think of it. It is on a white board somewhere. We just want it now.

            Maybe to avoid noise pollution from all the sirens going off all the time when getting spurious triggers. They'd get too much backlash and complaints from neighbors about disturbing the peace if it wasn't reliable enough to only go off only when warranted.

            Please make it possible to link the floodlight cam alarms to the Ring home alarm system. This is how I thought the system would work before I purchased it. Very disappointed!

            Totally agree. Really disappointed that the system does not do this. On alarm - all lights, sirens and recording should start

            It would have to be safeguarded against false triggers for it to be feasible. Left to the general user, it'd go off when unwarranted. Silent capture would be better than crying wolf for every cat walking by.
