Model: Tapo C320WS  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

Starting a new thread because I found the old one, and it is locked.

It says this feature has been "logged", wondering what the status is, and if it will ever be implemented.

https://community.tp-link.com/en/smart-home/forum/topic/649770

In the past I used Foscam, but last decade I used about a dozen of Wyze cameras, and they offer this feature, which I find very convenient, just to activate the siren quickly, for a few sec, to make the criminals aware that they are being watched. It helps enormously.

Wyze doesn't support RTSP (they want money for that) so I am trying to switch to Tapo, already have 2 Tapo cameras, but the inability to activate the siren on demand prevents me from buying more, and basically forces me to purchase another brand (wyze?) again.

Please let me know if there is any hope to get this implemented. I guess it is just the matter of adding a feature to the app, the hardware already has the siren. I am willing to be a beta tester. Thanks.

Hi,
We suggest voting and leaving your detailed usage scenario on the thread "Manually Activate Siren" for evaluation. You can also see if the alternative workaround in this post will help you.
Best Regards
