While not as loud as the Arlo Pro base station siren, the Ultra Siren should certainly be noticeable for anyone within detection range of the camera. How far away from the camera are you when you're testing?

Hello,
My first post.
Am I missing something or is the "siren" on the ultra camera so quiet that it wouldn't wake a sleeping baby, even if it was right next to his/her ear.
I breath louder than that "siren", hopefully I have missed something - if not - refund please and going to buy Pro2.
thank you
B

The volume level on the Ultra siren sucks!

I have the Pro and added the ultra base and camera for my front door thinking that the siren feature would be good to have outside on the main door. This was really the only reason I purchased the ultra as I already had the pro at that location. When I set the alarm off, I can hear the inside siren, but barely hear the ultra siren in the camera standing right in front of it. Very dissapointed because it was pretty expensive to upgrade from a pro camera to ultra because you need the base as well.

Is volume not an issue with the Pro 2? I would also downgrade if that is the case.
Does the 2 way talk work. I am using iPhone.

Mate, I have packed my Ultra up and bought the Pro2... siren is brilliant on the Pro-2, just be aware that the siren is on the base unit not the camera.
Havn't tried two talking yet, i'll report back.

Siren is not loud at all. Barely noticeable. If a stereo is playing noone would notice it.
I already posted this a while ago. Please solve it.

Since it's indoors, consider a Pro base which has a big speaker and is powered.

Why?
1. Some of the cameras are outdoor.
2. I bought the Ultra over 2 months ago.
3. Siren is advertised as "extremely loud".

Well, I agree that "extremely loud" is a bit of an over-statement however a quick perusal of the Ultra docs here doesn't show me anything that says that. It simply mentions a siren, not a loudness.

Just a SDWAG but I'd guess that's an artifact of using the same code as for the Pro base siren. Agreed it's misleading.

My dog is deaf and we used to use the siren to get her off the couch. That was with the Pro 2.
The Ultra one sounds more like an annoying buzzing. I thought it was broke but looks like everyone else has the same feedback.

Completely Agree! This was the WORST mistake for Arlo to make. The previous base station had the 100db alarm built in - so why remove it on the smart hub. The camera siren is so quiet when you house is next to a road with constant traffic flow.
WHY DID YOU REMOVE THE ALARM FROM THE BASE STATION ARLO?

So that Arlo can sell you a standalone alarm?
And maybe so that every camera can deter intruders, even when it is a long way from the hub.
I assume that people who complain about the volume have tweaked the volume level. Mine is loud enough to upset my wife and it is on the lowest level.
If you can set each camera to trigger the alarms on all of your cameras that could be seriously spooky.

And yes, I am sure an additional siren helps, but if I was sneaking in somewhere and multiple alarms go off, time to go !
I do wonder if those that have an issue with volume might have a hardware problem?

I bought a 4 camera kit.
All of them are barely audible. I assume a hardware issue should affect only some, or I might be extremely unlucky...
