Enhancing your home security just got easier with the Reolink Home Hub and Home Hub Pro! Today, we’ll walk you through setting up and customizing the Siren Alarm feature to ensure your home stays protected with audible alerts tailored to your needs. Let’s dive in!

What Is the Reolink Siren Alarm?
Every camera connected to your Home Hub can trigger its built-in siren alarm! Whether it’s motion detection from a security camera or a doorbell press, the Home Hub’s siren will activate to deter intruders or notify you of visitors.
Key Features:

• Automatically sound an alarm during security events (e.g., motion detection).
• Customizable ringtones and scheduling options.
• For doorbell cameras: Set a Visitor Ringtone for doorbell presses.

How to Set Up the Siren Alarm
Step 1: Add Your Camera to the Home Hub
Before configuring the siren, make sure your Reolink camera is paired with the Home Hub.
Need help? Check our guide: How to Add Reolink Camera to Home Hub Series.

Step 2: Access the Siren Settings

1. Open the Reolink app and go to your camera’s live view.
2. Tap the gear icon (top-right corner) to open settings.
3. Scroll to the Home Hub Siren section.

Step 3: Enable & Customize the Siren

1. Turn on the siren: Toggle the switch to enable the feature.
2. Choose a ringtone:
   1. Preview sounds by tapping the play button next to Alarm Ringtone.
   2. Select a tone that suits your security needs (e.g., loud alarm for deterrence).
3. Set a schedule:
   1. Define Detection Types (motion, person/vehicle detection, etc.).
   2. Specify Time Periods for when the siren should activate.
4. Save your settings: Tap Save (top-right corner).

Step 4: Special Note for Doorbell Cameras
If you’re using a Reolink doorbell camera:

• Enable the Visitor Ringtone to play a custom sound (or greeting) when the doorbell is pressed.
• Adjust this under the same Home Hub Siren settings menu.

Why This Matters
A well-configured siren alarm adds an extra layer of security by:
1. Deterring potential intruders with loud alerts.
2. Notifying you instantly of doorbell activity.
3. Offering flexibility through schedules and tones.

PCWorld just published an article spotlighting Reolink’s groundbreaking achievement as the first security camera brand to receive the official "Works With Home Assistant" certification from the Open Home Foundation. If you’re all about local processing, privacy-first tech, and ditching cloud subscriptions, this is a must-read.

Key takeaways:

• First of its kind: Reolink’s Wi-Fi cameras (excluding 4G models) are now fully certified, processing video feeds, AI alerts, and controls entirely on-device/local networks.
• Zero cloud reliance: Avoid subscription fees and third-party snooping—data never leaves your home network.
• Seamless automations: Pair Reolink cams with other Home Assistant devices (e.g., trigger smart lights when the doorbell rings).
• Flexible storage: All models support local NAS storage, even without onboard SD slots.
• Open Home Foundation cred: Home Assistant’s free, open-source platform runs on everything from Raspberry Pis to virtual machines.

Quotable:
“We’re thrilled to welcome the first cameras to the ‘Works With Home Assistant Program’ via Reolink.”
— Miranda Bishop, Partnership Manager at the Open Home Foundation
