Hi, the audio on the speakers sound awful, is there any way to connect to a home speaker?  Or does anyone know of a way to use cellular to speak through home audio from miles away?

Are you meaning the sound being played by the camera?  Or the sound from the camera microphones being played on your phone or PC?

 

Are your cameras indoors or outdoors?

Hi, the cameras are inside, and I mean when speaking through the camera from my phone the sound very robotic, not natural… I’d like my voice to be able to come through better quality speakers so my pets can understand it’s me speaking

Thx for clarifying.  The speakers are tinny (and of course are small) - there's nothing you can do to change that.

 

However, smart speakers generally do have an intercom function that you could use instead.  For instance, with Alexa:

Don't enable the microphone or speaker on the camera if you do this - you will get feedback/echo if you do.
