Keypad has no siren

First, I love the Ring alarm. The depth of thought that went into the design was staggeringly good One caveat: In a large house, at night while I sleep the kids come and go so I turned down the keypad volume. Sadly, there is no siren in the keypad so when the siren goes off on the other side of the house my keypad just sits there. I'm asleep, the siren is sounding and I have NO idea it is happening. Even the little stick up cameras have sirens. Why, seriously, WHY does the keypad not have any notification code in it's firmware that over rides the volume setting on the keypad so it can shout, "Yo! Your siren is going off. YOU HAVE A BREACH IN PROGRESS." Just a thought for the firmware guys...

It's because they sell a siren that can be placed anywhere inside the house. [https://shop.ring.com/products/dome-siren](https://shop.ring.com/products/dome-siren)

If you just do the test siren from base station the siren will not sound from keypad. Make sure you go to settings and do self monitoring and do the test from your dashboard and use panic button (red exclamation point top right)or trigger alarm. But make sure you are set on self monitoring.
