    Yes - this is a great new feature. I have several floodlight cams and it’s good to ensure the sirens are now utilised automatically in an alarm situation - many thanks!

      This is a fantastic feature, and one that I've been wanting since I got my Ring alarm. Great to finally see it in production! Thank you, Ring team.

        Once the ring cameras with sirens are linked to the alarm system, will triggering the SOS button in the app sound all the sirens (both alarm base station siren and ring camera sirens)? Thanks!

          I just tested it and unfortunately when you click the red alarm button on the app, it only sounds the base station alarm and not the sirens of linked outdoor cameras

        I don’t think I would want the siren on any motion. But if you could blare the siren when geese are detected in my yard... now you got something.

          I recently purchased two 3rd gen stick up cameras and discovered that even when linked to the alarm base station and programmed to siren when the alarm is activated, the cameras siren is not being initiated. After speaking with a ring representative I was informed this function is not available. Has anyone else had this same issue? Was this feature recently discontinued? Why would the base station allow you to link a camera and program it to siren if this function does not work?

            Same issue with my stickup cams. One is wired and one is battery but I have no option to link the sirens as the stickup cam image in the screenshot above.

            Hi @willdy. Do you have a Ring Alarm Security system that's also set up on your Ring account along with your Stickup Cams? This feature update allows you to link your Cameras to your Ring Alarm so that the sirens on the Cameras can also be triggered in the event that your alarm is triggered. If you don't have a Ring Alarm, you won't see this feature available.
