Maybe ask the engineers to link the devices so they will? It only seems logical they should be integrated together by default

  Right now we are focussed on perfecting the current integrations and siren protocols to not only be efficient, but also to avoid false alarms. With linked devices existing in the Ring Application we are of course interested in adding to that, however, integrating fully with our camera devices and their features will take some time.

Thank you for letting us know that this is on the roadmap! :-) Please consider the fact that new customers buying the alarm system and camera's most likely think the siren on the spotlight cam were designed to be linked to the ring alarm, and should be as simple and standard as an additional keypad siren or dome siren already go off with the main alarm. I admit I was disapointed to learn they in fact are not linked for siren use after spending so much money on this system and cameras, especially considering I can buy a 4 camera dvr including cameras for the price of one ring cam all while not pay subscription fees for recording... because frankly I see no benefit to having the ring cam if its not already designed to be linked to the alarm made by the same company. I know this isn't the most positive feedback, but it is how I feel after spending so much money with ring...

  Thanks for this feedback, @TechGuy42 , we appreciate it. I wanted to clairfy, that we did not say it was on the roadmap, but rather we are always interested in growing the integration. It's important to us that you know we take this feedback seriously and we have passed this along to the team. For now, check out some of our current integrations and see what Works With Ring,[here. ](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/categories/360001081531-Ring-Alarm) We will continue to update this thread with any new features. Thanks!

My apologies, the below quoted part of your post lead me to understand that ring IS in fact working to fully integrate with its own camera devices but it will take some time... > @Marley\_Ring wrote: > > however, integrating fully with our camera devices and their features will take some time. But if you're stating that is not the case, I'm starting to think I made a mistake purchasing these expensive ring cameras and would be better off with a DVR camera system that gives me the same motion alerts if not better because many have PIR sensors and 2 way audio all without paying a dime in subscription fees.

  I just bit the bullet and purchased Ring alarm. Genuinely I had assumed a external siren link would be available. It’s so disappointing to find this is not possible. Ring this is a no brainier should not take such a push from the community. Just get it implemented!

  I'm in the same boat. I'm a software engineer and for the life of me I can't figure why this feature isn't already implemented. There's abviously no reason from a programmatic standpoint why this can't be enabled. Please Ring, we spend hundreds to thousands on your equipment with the presumption of not only high quality equipment, but also customer service. So when a large customer base demands a feature, at least stipulate on its probability and not just say "Oh, thanks for the input. I'll pass it along." If something really isn't possible, try extending the reasoning behind the decision to your customers so their not left assuming. Otherwise if it is possible, ENABLE THE FEATURE. We more than deserve this basic functionality.

  I’d like to add my vote for this feature. I thought this would be a no brainer and one of the reasons I purchased my two spotlight cams. Thanks!

  Come on ring. It has been over a year since the community managers first replied to this post acknowledging that your customers want this functionality. I understand that it may not be possible in all regions due to legal restrictions but that shouldn't stop you offering it where that isn't a consideration. It is taking an unacceptable amount of time to launch this relatively simple feature.
