Ring Alarm
Does Security Alarm set off camera sirens when triggered?
We had someone attempt to break in our home. Purchased the Ring Security Alarm, and multiple other cameras. It’s all set up linked with one another. Have it set when alarm sounds all cameras start recording. Question is if alarm is triggered do the cameras also set of their Alarms? Thank you.

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. Make your voice be heard and **add your "Thumbs-up" vote** to these links by clicking on the Thumbs-up Icon that is on the left side of the author's initial beginning post (I've probably missed a few similar links) : Submitted by [WesleyAldred](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/47230) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-Alarm-Activation-sets-off-Ring-Cam-Siren/id...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-Alarm-Activation-sets-off-Ring-Cam-Siren/idi-p/27904) Submitted by [DrTej](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/45131) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Activate-Siren-on-all-Camera-s-and-Alarm/idi-p/2...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Activate-Siren-on-all-Camera-s-and-Alarm/idi-p/26601) Submitted by [DanHolloway](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/89276) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-Alarm-link-sirens/idi-p/56814](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-Alarm-link-sirens/idi-p/56814) Submitted by [MikeP](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/39982) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Alarm-Base-Station-should-sync-with-Floodlight-c...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Alarm-Base-Station-should-sync-with-Floodlight-cameras-when/idi-p/23731) Submitted by [Leslew](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/78777) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-alarm-siren/idi-p/49072](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Ring-alarm-siren/idi-p/49072) Submitted by [PaddyMc](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/90124) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Alarm-Siren-linked-devices-to-ring-chimes/idi-p/...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Alarm-Siren-linked-devices-to-ring-chimes/idi-p/57430) Submitted by [Rand](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/41166) : [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Allow-us-to-Utilize-Our-Flood-Sirens-during-Alar...](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Allow-us-to-Utilize-Our-Flood-Sirens-during-Alarms/idi-p/24347) UNITE and Thumbs-up VOTE!

B[@Miltime22](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/28625) , [@Eagle328](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2464) , [@Fortress](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/30090) , [@Ericnmel99](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/45127) , [@Sirdragonx](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/92755) , [@DanHolloway](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/89276) noticed today that Ring has listened to all the Kudo votes on the numerous "Feature Request" board (listed in this thread posted 09/19/2020) and the camera sirens can also now be linked to the Alarm Base Station 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! :) :) :) FYI to: [WesleyAldred](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/47230) , [DrTej](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/45131) , [MikeP](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/39982) , [Leslew](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/78777) , [PaddyMc](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/90124) , [Rand](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/41166)

Hi neighbors! You are able to link your Ring Alarm system to your Security Cameras. This Linked Devices feature now allows you to set any Ring Camera with a siren to sound when your Alarm Siren is triggered. You can read more about it in our [Community Post here](https://community.ring.com/t/alarm-feature-update-linked-devices-camera-siren/25922). :slight_smile:

They do not. It's been asked many times. Ring has passed the request along though. Maybe in a future update. I also asked it outside lights could strobe or flash as well if the alarm goes off.
