I have a nest, I am going to replace it with the 3 Ultra Arlo Cameras, specifically for the Siren. 

 

I have a deadly neighbor next door, and I need a loud as siren to wake me up incase he comes back over, or threatens my kids again. 

 

Questions:

  1. Does the Ultra have a Siren on the cameras AND base station? or only Cameras?  I will probably have to return the Ultra if it is not on the base station. 
  2. Does Arlo 3 have a Siren on the base station?
  3. How can I get a Siren out of the ultra? this is a must have, I need to wake up and react (Druggies next door)

awesomebilly,

 

With the Ultra and Pro 3 cameras, the siren is included in the camera not the SmartHubs (VMB5000 and VMB4540)

 

The VMB4000 and VMB4500 base stations have the siren included in the base.

@awesomebilly,

how most of us are handling this situation is that we have a second Base Station, (VMB4000 or VMB4500), and simply use it for the siren. You can activate the siren manually, or in the rules for the Ultra cameras.

I think it is a pity that Arlo removed the siren from the hubs.
