Activate Siren on all Camera’s and Alarm

Hi,

It would be nice if a moderator for Ring Community could merge these threads together, rather than having and voting on multiple requests.

Just looking at the links Boone has posted there are 256 votes, with 1 thread having 116 votes.

As with all other feature requests we have no idea what the status is.

I did have a new feature request, to be able to view the status of our feature requests :slight_smile:

Agree, thumbs up for this!

I have posted a similar featrure request here to also trigger the indoor “chimes” as well so internally the sound is heard to hopefully alert all the ocupants of the property and chase the intruders away.

Yes I been telling RING for years to make an option to enable the sirens on cameras like the outdoor floodlight cams, etc. be able to activate during an alarm since the devices have sirens built in. Also why can’t the plug in chimes make noises like door open chimes and alarm sirens for the alarm not only motion and doorbell button pushes. Also the reverse, allow the alarm base station to be able to make the motion sounds for the other cameras like doorbells and floodlight cams, etc. and doorbell button pushes.

Can I request please that all Stick Up Cam built in alarms can be linked to the ring alarm and that they sound when the main alarm goes off? The alarms on the stick up are pretty useless unless they are able to go off with the main alarm, especially if you’ve a few installed around your property.

You can already link devices to start recording when the alarm goes off and I think the alarms sounding as well would be cool!

Hi, is it possible to add an all linked panic button to the app that will enable all sirens to sound simultaneously?

I agree the app needs a panic button that will simultaneously enable all linked device sirens.

Hello @icadam , Yes, the Spotlight, FloodLight, Stick-up, and Indoor cams all now have the siren available. Others have been requesting the feature that you are looking for, with some slight variations. But you can see that you aren’t alone!

There are also many similar posts in other Ring forums, but now Ring Teams look for request here in the “Feature Board Request” forum, and so I did not include those other too-numerous links. I just linked only “Feature Board Requests.”

When ring alarm is alarming, there should be a feature where all floodlight cams sound their sirens until the alarm is disarmed. The alarm should also activate a siren on ring chimes. Also, since ring is connected to Amazon echo, it should be able to sound a siren on echo devices too.

Hello @Jhawth2003 , Yes, the Spotlight, FloodLight, Stick-up, and Indoor cams all now have the siren available. And it would be cool to intergrate this with the Ring Chimes and Amazon Echo.

Thank you Boone for showing the other requests people have created.

It would be nice if someone from Ring Support acknowledged these highly requested features, and merge the votes into one request.

Don’t forget the floodlight cam also has a siren. This would be such a great feature I was a law enforcement officer and I know from experience that a loud siren that attracts the attention of neighbors is more likely to result in the apprehension of the burglar than a monitoring center that dispatches police. People don’t realize how much of a delay there is with the monitoring center receiving the alarm, then they contact the owner, then they call police, and then you have the delay at the police department in getting it dispatched A good neighbor will look out for the suspect, then hopefully call police directly if they see someone who is up to no good. We caught burglars because of a neighbor calling but I can’t remember ever catching one because of a monitoring center calling.

Hi @Prod ,

Recently Ring pushed a firmware update so now all the Ring Video cameras have a Siren now (but not on some Ring Video Doorbells). Unfortunately, it is not a very loud siren sound.

The siren can be easily be activated manually (without setting off the Alarm Base Station) by tapping on the white"Double-Parenthesis-Exclamation Point" Icon in the video display (very different Icon from the RED"Exclamation Point" Icon which does activate the Alarm Base Station).

But as @icadam pointed out, all these camera sirens are not activated by the Alarm Base Station automatically if an intruder breaks in, so hence his request for that feature. It would be very cool to have a tripped Alarm Base Station automatically activate the sirens in all the cams. :slight_smile:

@Boone Thank you for referencing all of the other Community Feature Request threads that you saw these in and @F1N1 Thank you for the suggestion to merge these together! The Feature Request Board is ever growing, and we don’t want to merge too many ideas together so that neighbors do not miss out on upvotes from their unique idea. After reviewing the other posts mentioned in this thread, it looks like they all match up with similar interest, so in the effort to have it all streamlined and in one place, I have moved the threads mentioned and all of their upvotes, comments, and so on, into this one major thread, as it had the most upvotes when I moved it over. Now we can have it all in one place!

Thank you for your continued interest in this feature as well neighbors, and rest assured that this is passed along to the appropriate teams so we can continue to bring things our neighbors are looking for! :slight_smile:

Not satisfied with the siren volume provided in my security cams, I rigged a simple but effective 140dB outdoor piezo siren using a smart plug and 12VDC outlet transformer. This allows me the option of remotely activating the alarm based on what I view on the cams. The only problem is that I need to jump to another app to control the smart plug switch. Yes, it would be nice to have a similar piezo alarm accessory that can be controlled through the Ring app.

I found an excellent solution provided by u/anonrod in the r/Ring forum of Reddit.com entitled

“Easy way to add any loud siren to the alarm system”. This works very well for me.

.

I’m in total agreement – one that doesn’t involve the alarm system, but can be activated through the Ring app. As a workaround, I rigged a loud 12VDC piezo alarm siren that works with a smart plug and outlet adapter. This allows me to remotely activate the siren alarm based on what I see through my Ring security cameras. The only problem is that I need to jump over to another app to activate the smart plug switch. Yes, Ring needs a “stand alone” outdoor siren!

Thank you Chelsea for merging the requests :slight_smile:

Do you know what the status is? i.e being considered, in test phase etc?

Hi. Is there any news. Do you think this might happen, would make a great feature.

I’ve been asking for this for two years now… Why hasn’t it been done yet?
