Hi   @hpp8140 

Thank you for sharing new ideas with the community. 

So far the Tapo camera supports Alarm and the Alarm will go off when the motion or event is detected.

How to use motion detection function of my Tapo camera in Tapo app

Can you share some scenarios where you like to manually active siren? This will help us understand your request better, and that would help when this request is raised for evaluation. 

Thank you.

I feel the product is great for the price point, I'm sure the AI detection will continue to improve to hit hardware limitation, but even on the lowest setting, there are many cases that can cause repeated false alarms -- rain, shadows (tree leaves, people, bugs etc.), vehicle lights.
 

I utilize the alarm light, but would not feel comfortable turning on the alarm SOUND unattended -- it may become a nuisance to neighbors and would be embarrassing when it goes off repeatedly frown
 

The camera quickly detects and sends notifications, which can be verified by a human and in some cases would be great to be able to manually sound the alarm.


Thanks for responding.

Great or add option to pick a sound which is less offensive, like beeps.

Please make this happen. As others have mentioned, a motion activated siren is not always practical. I don't need the siren going off every time someone walks their dog past my camera. But if I get a Person notification and see someone who shouldn't be there and is obviously up to no good, a way to turn on the siren manually would be the best way to discourage them. My Wyze and Ring cameras have this ability. Surely TP-Link can make this happen!
