Step 1. Launch Reolink App, tap the Gear icon to go to the Device Settings page of the camera, and tap Siren under Notification settings.

Notes:

  • The detection type varies from camera models.
  • One grid represents one hour.
  • For cameras Argus 2, Argus Pro, Argus Eco, and Argus 2E, you can only enable the siren, there are no settings for pre-alarm, sound test, and siren schedule.
  • Pre-alarm sound, once enabled, will be triggered as long as motion is detected, while siren will only be triggered according to the detection type you choose. Thus, it is possible that sometimes you hear the pre-alarm sound but no siren sound.
