Clicking sound on motion detection - feature request.

Roger12 — Sun, 04 Jun 2017 22:42:08 GMT

I've had to mount my camera a little higher than ideal. What I would like is the ability for the camera itself to make a camera click sound - or frankly any short sharp noise - it could be a chime- on detection so that people turn to look at it. Much like the red light flashes in detection set up mode but a noise instead. Given that it has a speaker this would have to be an easy add to the alert options (along with email and push notification)? I need something a little gentler than the nuclear option of turning on the siren!

Not to my knowledge unless you think out of box with IFTTT

I've found that your normally get a lag with IFTTT and this needs to be immediate. It would also involve placing an IFTTT speaker next to a device (the Arlo Pro) which already has a speaker built in but thanks for taking the time to answer. My post was more of a request for a feature that I cant see in the current setup but doesnt look as though it would be too hard for Netgear to incorporate.
