Cameras utilize siren separately from Base Station

It would be great if Arlo Q could somehow trigger the siren in the New Pro Base. It seems it would be more effective and there would be far less false alarm soundings. I have 4 outside cameras, I'm guessing the siren will be going off more than I want with false alerts. Whereas indoors when the home is empty, there should'nt be any false alarms. I'm way more concerned about someone getting into the home than a delivery to my front door.

a Siren should be considered a must...camera is good, the alerts are great. the DIY aspect is the game change which makes this option viable.

But at the end of a robbery, we can possibly give the police (yeah i am rolling my eyes...due to being robbed a few times and knowing what police actually do)  identification of a profile (picture/video), and we can possibly call police to ensure they make a reasonable attempt to get to the property in time to prevent (theft) and prevent further thefts (they (burgulars) usually like to go through an area).

 

But what about an alarm/siren that will actually deter them in the act....so the people (being robbed) dont feel violated, and this could prevent contents stolen... then would note require insurance companies to provide replacements.

 

it is just such a simple add-on...maybe not as profitable, but it really is required. consider this your feedback loop.

if you choose to ignore it, then find your product soon become obsolete and something that could have been.

Both Arlo and the D-Link WiFi Siren work with IFTTT, so I guess that Arlo should be able to trigger the D-Link Siren through IFTTT. This could be an option worth looking into. I have not tried this myself, but in the absence of an Arlo siren, I am thinking of buying the D-Link Siren. I would be interested to know if anyone has tried this.
