When are Ring bringing out an external siren box for the alarm system? Having an obvious and clearly visible siren box on the outside of a property is a big deterrent to any potential burglar, and deterring a break in is the primary reason for having any sort of security system. Using sirens to scare off burglars, and cameras to identify an assailants is great, but preventing the initial break in is far more important.

    If ring don't want to bring out an external siren, then they should at least allow third party external sirens to work.

      When will the cameras sirens triggered by the alarm sounding feature be released?I assume that it's imminent, as you show it on your sales page in the UK. It's in a picture in the [Linked Devices](https://en-uk.ring.com/products/stick-up-security-camera-battery "Alarm triggers camera siren") images half way down the page.

        I've been thinking about this is well and have come up on an easy fix. If the alarm has been triggered. After a set specific time the audible alarm is active within the resident from the base. Lets say after 1min but allow for period of time to be adjustable as with most features. The inside trigger should be able to trigger the Ring camera sirens or some other audio hardware ring may provide on the exterior.

          Unfortunately, the Ring Alarm system can only currently activate the sirens on the Alarm Base Station, and Keypads, and the indoor non-weather-resistant Dome Siren. :(But you aren't alone in wanting an external siren! Many others want an outdoor weather-resistant siren, or some ability to connect an exterior siren, or some way to have a siren sound outdoors . The more "Thumbs Up" Kudo votes they see there will better get their attention, increasing the chances of getting siren sounds outdoors.

            Agree with all the above. I have several ring devices and so it would make perfect sense to add the alarm to the mix, but without an external sounder, I wont be buying. Its a deterent. SimpliSafe have confirmed to me that they are bringing out a new proper outdoor siren in 2021. Ring is behind on this. For me, having the cameras sirens sound is not enough, a clear visible siren does put potential intruders off and makes them look elsewhere.In the UK we have National Home Security Month every year, and they interviews 100 ex-burglars. A whopping 71% of them said that they would be put off attempting a break-in to a home that has an external siren on the outside wall.[https://www.homesecuritymonth.com/](https://www.homesecuritymonth.com/)
