Play custom sound file on cam instead of activating cam siren

The ability to record a custom audio clip and play it when a person is detected would be fantastic in addition to the siren. My Wyze Cam Floodlight luckily stopped a possible break in last night, without using the siren. It would be great if the camera could play a short audio clip over the camera or floodlight speaker when a person is detected that says something like “Intruder detected, contacting authorities and homeowners”. I think my neighbors would appreciate that more at 3am rather than a loud siren in case of a false alarm. It could have an adjustable “cooldown” period so it would only play the audio clip once every 15sec, 30sec, 1min, … etc.

Luckily I was awake and was able to investigate shortly after getting the alert, but a dedicated Home Assistant integration would be great so I can trigger an automation inside my house to make it look like someone is awake and investigating if I’m not home. Like turning on the lights randomly inside.
