External our Outdoor Siren for Ring Alarm
When are Ring bringing out an external siren box for the alarm system? Having an obvious and clearly visible siren box on the outside of a property is a big deterrent to any potential burglar, and deterring a break in is the primary reason for having any sort of security system. Using sirens to scare off burglars, and cameras to identify an assailants is great, but preventing the initial break in is far more important.

As ring doesn't currently offer and external siren for its alarm system but it does link with external ring cameras which allow them system to record and turn the light on when the alarm is triggered would it not also be possible for the ring cameras siren also be activated so there is external noise too? As when all doors are shut the internal siren on the base station is too muted to hear externally.

BUnfortunately, the Ring Alarm system can only currently activate the sirens on the Alarm Base Station, and Keypads, and the indoor non-weather-resistant Dome Siren. :( But you aren't alone in wanting an external siren! Many others want an outdoor weather-resistant siren, or some ability to connec

This is something that is badly missing from the Ring alarm. I have the doorbell and I am currently looking to upgrade my home alarm, however looking the comments it's obvious that the current alarm is not loud enough for a medium/large size house. Unfortunately I am tempted to go with your competitor Simplisafe as they have a louder additional siren that can be placed indoors or outdoors.I know you do have these available in the US, but until you find a solution in the UK I'm afraid people like myself will be tempted to spend there money elsewhere.Come on Ring sort it out, you have some great products so surely it's not that difficult?

+1 Both Simplisafe and now Hive have the option of an external siren. If it wasn't for the reports of flakey connectivity with the Hive sensors and the abuility to disable the Simplisafe system easily i'd concider them over Ring.For me an external siren or utilising one of Rings other products to work like an external siren is necessary for the UK. The police highly recommend it and i've come across a number of insurance companies now asking about it.If the other two companies resolve their issues before Ring or a partner release an external siren, I can see a number of owners switching.

Hi neighbors. The Outdoor Siren for the Ring Alarm is discontinued and not available for purchase in the United States and Canada. It is still available in the UK at this time. We currently do not have any information on when a new Outdoor Siren will be available. Thank you for your continued feedback on this.
