How does the alarm on the outdoor camera work?

In the event motion is detected by your outdoor camera, the alarm options will immediately appear in the Somfy Protect app and allow you to:

  • Cancel the alarm
  • Trigger the siren
  • Contact your emergency number

If you decide to manually trigger the siren from the alarm options, the siren will sound for a maximum of 3 minutes and alert the Owner Users by push notification, SMS (except the person triggering the siren) and email; members of the Family & Friends, Neighbours Community by push notification and email.

If you choose not to manually trigger the siren, your siren will remain silent. However, this detection will alert Owner Users by push notification and email; members of the Family & Friends, Neighbours Community by push notification and email. 

Note:
If your installation includes other equipment with a siren (Somfy One, Somfy One+), an indoor or outdoor siren (requiring a Link or Somfy One, One+), triggering the siren on your camera will also trigger all the other alarms.
