How do I enable instantaneous siren activation in Home and Away modes and not have to wait 60 seconds when either access or motion is detected?

There is no such setting since the siren should immediately sound.  I tested my sirens recently and detection caused the siren to sound essentially when the recording started.

It clearly states in the iPhone iOS app "Panic will activate in 60 seconds" and the counter keeps decrementing when motion is detected in Away mode or Access is detected in Home mode. The Siren does not sound immediately.

I guess that's a difference I can't help with since I use Android.

Are you talking about the home security system "Panic Alarm"???

 

Is "Activate Siren" enabled in the camera rules in Armed Home and Armed Away?  If it is, then the siren should engage immediately whenever the camera detects motion.
