Siren activated automatically when motion detected

If it can’t be added to cams, what about a stand alone siren that is activated from motion stand alone and from connected devices. Watching the video hours later after the thief has broken car window and made off with the loot does not help since most are wearing hoodies and face coverings. We need a loud siren to scare them away before they have time to steal. C’mon get with the engineering dept. and get it on the market.

    I agree 100% - there needs to be a way to set the siren to go off with motion detection! Also a couple of posts asking for the ability to schedule - I assume by camera.

      +1000, from 11pm to 7am, *nobody* should be in the area of my Floodlight Cam Wired Plus. Even a short burst of siren during this timeframe would be a great deterrent.

        We have thieves visiting the house every now and then . If the siren doesn't go off automatically, why do I have it for? I mean.... doesn't everyone want it to scaring these people away ? Who would wake up in the middle of the night to check phone notifications? NOBODY. We are hoping Ring to make this function for sensible and practical for this community.

          I have seen variations of this request mentioned multiple times here but I think we really need this feature along with a few additions. Let's be able to set our outdoor/floodlight cameras to "Away" or "Arm" (scheduling also available) and then when any motion is detected a quick siren chirps and a motion warning is played. If that motion is still detected within 10 seconds then the siren is fully activated. I am not sure the siren fully activating at the first detection of motion as I see a lot of false alarms but having the warning chirp(s) and a voice command before activating the full-blown siren would be a great addition. Much needed when thieves strike at night and all we get is a notification that's usually not seen until the morning.. Let's make this happen Ring!!

            Hi, This request was done back in Jul 2021. Are there any plans to implement this feature in 2023 ? I have several Spotlight Cam Pros around my house. It would be an added theft deterrent to activate the siren when motion is detected. Criminals don't care if they are being recorded, since they will generally wear gloves and cover their faces with a mask. We need a siren to scare them off and to make them think that the neighbors are going to wake up and call 911.
