Camera Motion Detection Alerts on the Base Station
I would very much like to get an audible notification from the base station that a camera has detected motion. I've added a couple of cameras to our security system, and I'm frankly a little disappointed. I can only get notified of motion alerts at night if (a) my phone is in my bedroom--which it isn't--and (b) if I disable silencing notifications. For a lot of good reasons, I don't like to keep my phone in my bedroom at night. My requests:
- Allow camera alert notifications on the base station
- Set monitoring hours (I don't want to get notified about every UPS or mail delivery)

Do you pay for monitoring? If so, are you not concerned about missing a phone call from them while you're asleep since your phone isn't near you?
(This has nothing to do with your question, I'm just curious.)

Outdoor camera motion detection should trigger a base station chime, preferably with an option to make the sounds different depending on the camera triggered. Entry sensors already have that option.
Outdoor camera motion chimes are a feature I sorely miss from Ring.

I would also like an audible notification from my base station when a camera detects motion. This would be helpful for everyone in the house especially if they are not near their cell phone.

If this does come about then I hope there is a way to turn that feature off as my driveway camera gets over 50+ notifications a day and if I had to hear my base station ding all day for that I would toss the base station so far out in the driveway then run over it. 🤣🤣

Another vote for this from me, can't see why it's not a feature to have any sensor chime. Why only entry sensors?

I didn't see it linked in this thread anywhere so here are the links to the requests in the Simplitracker, I think.
