This should be an out-of-the-box feature of Ring... Remarkable this isn't possible yet!

That’s what I’d have thought, you can set the lights and cameras to auto record if the alarm goes off but no way of sounding the siren on external lights, I’m sure it can’t be that hard to create a new routine and add it to the programming.

Would this be a possible future feature Ring would consider?Hello @W3bmaster and [@meijbaard](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/90306) and to any other people that read this post,Ring Teams look for _New Requests_ on the "Feature Request Board", so that would be a more appropriate place for this _request _post, but others have already beat you to it. The Ring Teams notice the requests with a large number of "Thumbs-up" votes. You are NOT alone in wanting this feature. This and variations of this idea are already on the Feature Request Board.

Hello @W3bmaster ,Ring has listened to all the Kudo votes on the numerous "Feature Request" board and the camera sirens can also now be linked to the Alarm Base Station siren! So now when the Alarm Base Station siren goes off, the Ring cameras (that have siren feature) can also automatically sound off with their siren!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! :) :) :)

Hello @Wilberr , I can see how this all could be confusing. So, let me try to "cover all the bases" which should explain this better. Of the 3 available alarm modes "Disarmed", "Home", and "Away", only two of them are **Armed** Alarm Modes capable of activating the alarm response & siren. The
