Activate Siren on all Camera’s and Alarm

I’ve made this suggestion in the past and it seems as many others are wanting the same feature added. Can Ring-Team please look into making this feature available. We’re wanting our external cameras sirens to sound once the ring security system is activated. It would provide more protection to us. Allow our neighbors to hear that someone is trying to break into our home. To my knowledge Ring doesn’t offer an external siren. Yes the interior siren can maybe stop someone from proceeding with a B&E, but that’d mean there were already in our home. If we have it that the exterior cameras sirens are activated. It would hopefully stop someone from even thinking of stepping
Foot into our homes and would get more attention from our neighbors, and be even more of a deterrent to criminals. Please as many others have asked look into this as a feature update. We’d all appreciate it! We love our ring products and that you all are willing to hear our suggestions.

Agreed. The internal alarm is not loud enough for anyone external to the house to hear and can easily be disabled. I am impressed by many aspects of this integrated security system, but not having an external siren is a major gap. At least link it to the external floodlight. Thanks.

Yes this is a great idea and also it would be nice to increase the volume on external outside cameras to make siren as loud as the alarm base in the home. Maybe WiFi alarm extenders with loud sirens that are tripped when main base alarm is triggered ?

I don’t want to “hijack” the idea of a Stand Alone Alarm as proposed – this is an idea I fully support. However, looking at related threads, there appears to be differing thoughts on what is considered “loud”, “stand alone”, “outdoor”, etc. As a compromise approach, I offered a related hardware/software proposal that might afford Users more customizable options (separate thread):

@Boone @F1N1 As always, thank you both for these callouts! I’ve merged together the feature requests in question to this master request. :smiley_cat:

This is surely the entire point of being able to enhance your ring of security by linking devices together. Ring has the linked devices feature so that devices can work together, but not the ability to link an alarm event to a lights siren. Such an omission is nothing short of astonishing. Come on Ring - get your act together and deliver this simple integration, or explain why you can’t.

I find it funny how Ring even sells a panic button accessory yet the system has no capability to link to exterior cameras. This feature is a must.

@Chelsea_Ring, hope you can provide insight on if this feature will be made possible soon! Please bring it up at your next meeting! Make it happen!

Please enable ring alarm to activate if selected cameras detect motion. I have cameras in my house and don’t want to have a camera and motion sensor in the same room or hallway. As I have cameras using the indoor cameras motion sensor would be a great help

Anyone else think the camera sirens should also be triggered when the security system has been set off? Its nice to be able to inform the area what’s going on as well.

This feature is a must, not spending another penny on Ring devices until this is delivered. Really disappointed :frowning: Who is the product manager that does not prioritise this? Should be reprimanded.

I imagine many customers simply expect this feature to work without knowing that the feature doesn’t even exist.

I am making it my goal to spread this news on social media to inform users.

Hi All,

I have bought cameras and the security system and now I realise I cannot activate the sirens of my external cameras with my security system. It doesn’t make sense. One of the main challenges in a security system is to be loud and currently with the sound of the Base Station is not enough.

It should be possible to link the siren of my external cameras to the Base Station. I don’t want to link the light of my external cameras and turn on them if I have the thieves inside, that I need is to be loud as much as possible.

This is a requirement that is asked by all the community and I think it is a simple development.

When you will be able to develop that?

100% agree, the whole point of having an alarm system is for it to trigger a ALARM

I also have multiple cameras. I also have the ring alarm that has no outside siren. I would like to have a setting when the alarm triggers all the camera sirens also.
