Good morning! Quick feedback: I have cameras inside and outside the house. I understand it is not possible to trigger the sound alarm based on the outside cameras due to "false positive" motion detection. However, could you consider triggering the alarm based on a given camera detection? In such case, I can configure my indoor cameras to alarm when movement is detected. Thanks a lot.

You can already trigger the siren on any camera's motion detection - https://kb.arlo.com/1145368/How-do-I-create-a-rule-that-includes-a-siren-trigger

Well it is possible to trigger the siren from the outside cameras.  But false positives would be annoying.  I'd want to get a pretty good understanding of the amount of false positives for each camera before doing this.
