Can I attach a siren to this camera and turn it on/off remotely?

The camera does not have a digital output. You would need to purchase digital I/O hardware from a manufacturer such as National Instrument or Opto 22 to drive the siren. Third party software such as Blue Iris for PCs or Evocam for Macs lets you write scripts that could then trigger an output on motion detection that would activate the siren. A simpler solution is to configure the software to speak a warning message of your creation whenever motion is detected and play it through remote amplified speakers that are connected to the computer. I know for a fact that Evocam has this capability. I would presume that Blue Iris does as well.

Yes, the camera must be wireless and ON (transmitting) thanks! Sleuth Electronics LLCPS: to avoid false alarms you MUST turn OFF all electronic devices in the area such as cellphones, radios, TV, etc...because they transmit radio frequencies. It is important that you educate yourself on the proper way to use this item. In your case you may want to hire a PI that knows how to use this type of product.Good day.

Yes. And if your camera has the setting, make sure you set it to "uncontrolled" PoE; some PoE devices can talk with each other and adjust power, but this doesn't.

Yes, I use it as an outside siren. Do wrap it in plastic to shield it from the elements, like plastic shopping bags. As long as you sync it and the sensor to the master controller you should be fine. Just do according to written instructions.

I do not believe you can.........I have had this camera in the woods for almost three straight years and it works amazingly, but i don't think you can shut it off.

Yes and you can download an app to your smartphone to operate the camera remotely.

I do not know, I look at as a feature to let you know the cameras on. I don't think that I would not want it to, since when I turn it on I want to take a picture in most cases.

The outdoor siren needs a 110v power source. It is triggered by the system wirelessly.

yes. you can wire it directly to a 12 volt source and switch. Sounds like the cops are coming. Great siren.

You can yes but depends what type of sensor you use , since the siren is 12 volts you would need a 12 volt sensor . I have a diagram somewhere maybe I can post . What you need is a 12volt photo cell .

I am not a professional installer but I would say yes. This siren has it's own "driver" built in so it is easy to wire.

The wires are marked for power and ground.you may put a toggle switch in line to turn the camera on and off

I currently have my camera connected to a DVR system. System is computer controlled

The control pad siren is independent of the other sirens so the answer is yes. In fact, if someone is in my home, I don't want the control pad siren to go off because it will lead the person to the control pad.

I would say yes, but to be on the safe side, I would refer to the manual to see if the camera has a remote option.

Just plug the external siren in to the sensor unit. WORKS GREAT! What a great inexpensive watchdog!

Yes you can. If an event occurs like Motion detected then you can make another light come on, or make your MP3 player start up (record vicious dog barking or angry man shouting :) )
