A neighbor has a device (not sure what) that announces “HI! YOU ARE BEING RECORDED” when we walk or drive by. We are in the street, so the detection zone obviously needs to be trimmed down a bit.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, except if you are a neighbor. The announcement is loud but not LOUD. I wouldn’t want to hear this every time people or cars pass by.
I did a few minute Google for voice announcement security camera, and only got hits for a speaker that plays a sound file when motion is detected, not a camera with this capability .
Short of asking the neighbor or doing the ‘Mission:Impossible’ slide to get a visual, any ideas if this is a hack or a shipping retail product?
Know you can do it with Echo devices and Alexa. You could probably put a bluetooth speaker outside connected to a Echo dot or the like and get this to work with a motion sensor or using person detection on an Alexa routine.
I sure wish it worked better. I have mine set to notify once per event. Today I was ouside working in the driveway and it called it out every 30 seconds. Gets pretty annoying after a while. Ended up shutting it off completely. Would be nice to have it just say “recording” instead.
). There are so many brands on the market.
