Ring Alarm
External sirens needed
We've installed our alarm today and you can't hear the siren very well at all outside of the house. As we have multiple ring cameras around the perimeter the option to have those sirens sound in additional to the internal one would be great. Id like to see the linked devices option for the alarm split into two sections, one to be for entry delay to have the option to trigger recording and sounds as it does now and then separately alarm sounding to have options for recording, lights and sirens. Shouldn't be too much of a leap from what's already there. Maybe a maximum external siren ring time to ensure that they only ring for 10 minutes so a false trigger wouldn't ring all day. In the UK people are used to all alarms having external sirens, so this is a big lose if moving to this alarm.

CI’m in need of this as well. It’s the only real shortcoming of Ring Alarm now, is there is no way to just hookup an external (outdoors) loud siren (125db or better). It would also be helpful to be able to add outdoor strobes to the Ring Alarm.

Some day! Well if you plan to increase your market share sort it out! I've had several discussions with others getting alarms or who got different alarms specifically because it DID NOT have an external alarm. Now I thought it would be loud enough, so went with RING, but have to say, it ain't that loud during testing. Disappointed you've not resolved this yet... but I'll stick with you guys cos... I like the self manageability, and it doesn't look crap like some other DIY alarm systems.. (and I can't be bothered doing this again).

Totally agree with this, IF ALARM TRIGGERED THEN SIREN TRIGGER=CAMERAS I’ve got one on the driveway, the back of the house, living room....all of these going off should then alert my neighbours enough.... Or give us an external loud DB bell ??

I'm not so sure Ring are listening here... not enough of us shouting about it! Personally, I don't think they make all the difference to stopping someone breaking in, but once they are in, it has the "potential" to draw attention to the property, which might 1) make a thief either panic and lose focus, minimising theft/damage or 2) Immediate departure 3) Have no effect Our system is literally inaudible from outside. The only reason I know it goes off because I'll get an alert ... I do live in a friendly neighbourhood, so I know I would have someone check the property if they heard the alarm if I asked them too. Come on Ring how hard can it be to create a powered wired with wireless connectivity box with a bell???

An external siren is a frequently requested device in this community. So maybe . . . someday . . . Where I live there is a law that an external alarm siren must stop after 15 minutes.
