Sound Alarm

The sound alarm plays an audio file of your choice whenever it is triggered. You can use this alarm to scare away potential intruders from the location you are monitoring. For example, if you want to secure your room while you are not present, position your web camera towards the door and configure it to play the sound alarm on motion or noise detection. Now, whenever someone tries to enter your room, the alert would be triggered, and WebCam Monitor would play the alarm, scaring the daylights out of anyone who is up to no good. The alarm could be a siren or your favorite song.
