So now when the Base Station siren goes off, the Ring cameras (that have siren feature) can also sound off with their siren (here in the USA, and if not yet available in other countries it should be soon)!So, I immediately went to my Ring App to link mine also! But, I was briefly disappointed when I tried to do it because I did not initially see any change in the App. It initially appeared to still only make the cameras record when the alarm sounded . . . until I looked more closely. So, yes, the camera sirens CAN be linked now by:- Menu \> Devices \> Alarm Base Station \> Base Station \> Linked Devices \> Alarm Sounding \>After selecting "Alarm Sounding", this is where I was briefly disappointed because I thought it was still just to select the cameras to only record. Then I noticed the "Explanation-Point" Icon, just right of the "Camera" Icon. Now I understood that by selecting this "Explanation-Point" Icon, it links the camera's siren to the alarm too! So after selecting "Alarm Sounding" then:- Select "Explanation-Point" Icon for the cameras you wish to sound off their siren with the Base Station \> then "Save".Wonderful! Thank you Ring! :) :) :)
