Hi,There has been A LOT of discussion and requests for a Ring system outdoor siren in the USA. There was an outdoor siren some time ago but was discontinued in the U.S. market due to a copyright dispute. Ring has said that they are working on a replacement but there isn't one yet...and yes...it's been a long time now.Some Ring outdoor cameras like the spotlight and wired cams have built in sirens that can be triggered in an alarm situation, but the volume of the alarms is low and doesn't provide much deterrent. There is also an indoor Dome siren, but it isn't suitable for outdoor use.Some users, including me have created work arounds to this issue and have installed 3rd party sirens triggered by Ring outdoor smart plugs or other separate interfaces and devices. Unfortunately, these work arounds require extra devices like Ring Base Station and/or Ring Bridge as well as the technical skills to create the work arounds.You can find Ring external sirens for sale on Ebay and maybe some other sources, BUT they won't work with USA RING devices...so buyer beware.The obvious problem here is while there are work arounds, not everyone is an engineer or electronics technician, nor should the typical user have to possess those kinds of skills.Here's a couple of external links to visit for more information:https://www.reddit.com/r/Ring/comments/17jpjuj/i_figured_out_how_to_get_a_siren_to_work_with_ring/?rdt=61004https://community.ring.com/conversations/ring-alarm/ringbrand-outdoor-siren-for-alarmus-availability/65803be151f6e6fe7809414fGood luck!
