When a siren sound plays, if email notifications are configured, the user will receive an email. The user can reply with any of the following commands:

  • stop — Stops the currently playing sound.
  • siren — Plays a police siren.
  • say [message] — Play the typed text as speech. (Example: say Please leave the area immediately)
  • mute [minutes] — Mutes the speaker for a specified duration in minutes. (Example: mute 30. Default: 30 minutes)
  • unmute — Unmutes the speaker if it was previously muted.

The Talkdown.ai App uses Text-to-Speech (TTS) to play voice messages sent via the say command. If the email command is Siren, PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) will be activated on compatible cameras.

Please configure PoliceSirenSoundId under Storage & Settings | Settings. This sound will be triggered by the siren command listed above.
