I wanted to set my EZVIZ camera’s alarm sound to my own voice. Honestly, I’m getting tired of security cameras that all use the same old beeps and sirens. I wanted something that would let me customize the alarm with my own voice. After looking around, I finally found the EZVIZ H6c Pro. It’s one of the newer camera models that lets you customize the alarm sound with your own voice. And the best part? It’s pretty affordable too, at just $34.03.
In this article, I’ll explain how to set up an alarm on the EZVIZ H6c Pro camera using my own voice.
Audible Notification, EZVIZ Camera’s Audio-Based Alarm Feature
The H6c Pro camera features an audible notification.
This feature lets you choose the audio mode that works best for you. However, it’s currently only available on some of the latest EZVIZ camera models, including the TY1 Pro, H6c Pro, H8c, and other newer models.
Audio modes on EZVIZ cameras:
- Mute
- Intensive
- Soft
- Custom Sound
How I Set the EZVIZ Camera Alarm Sound Using My Own Voice
So, to use my own voice as the alarm sound on my EZVIZ camera, I selected “Custom Sound” as the audible notification mode. But first, let me walk you through each of the alarm sound modes available on the EZVIZ camera.
1. Mute
This indicates that the camera is not using the audio alarm feature.
If this mode is enabled, the EZVIZ camera will not emit any alarm sounds when it detects an object.
2. Intenseive
If you enable this mode, the EZVIZ camera will sound an alarm.
What does it sound like? It sounds like a typical alarm—a loud sound. It’s hard for me to describe the sound; you can try it for yourself. Here’s what the EZVIZ camera alarm sounds like in Intensive mode. You can adjust the volume as needed.
3. Soft
Soft mode usually only emits a beep.
If the alarm sound in Intensive mode is too loud and disturbs your neighbors, you can use Soft mode as the alarm sound. Here is an example of the sound from an EZVIZ camera in Soft Mode. You can adjust the volume as needed.
Above, you’ve heard two alarm sound modes from the EZVIZ camera. How do I set the EZVIZ camera’s alarm sound to my own voice? To do this, open the “Audible Notification” settings in the EZVIZ app.
Open your EZVIZ app.
Next, open the camera settings on the camera’s live view page by tapping the gear icon.
On the Settings page, select Audio Settings.
Select “Audible Notification.”
Please select “Custom Sound” to set the alarm sound using your own voice.
Tap and hold the “Hold to Record” button to record your audio. You can record up to 10 seconds of audio and use it as your custom alarm sound. Once you’re done, give the recording a name and tap “Save.”
Now, try walking in front of the camera to test it. If everything is set up correctly, your EZVIZ camera should now play your own voice as the alarm sound.
Just keep in mind that this feature is only available on the latest EZVIZ camera models with the new settings menu layout. If you’re using an older EZVIZ camera, the Audible Notification settings won’t let you replace the alarm sound with your own voice. So, if your camera’s settings menu looks like the one on the right, you should have the option to use your own voice as the alarm sound.
All audio alarm modes on EZVIZ cameras sound after being triggered by motion detection. If the alarm isn’t working, you can check whether motion detection on the EZVIZ camera is enabled or not.

Conclusion
What do you think? Pretty cool feature, right?
You can use your own voice as the alarm sound on your EZVIZ camera, which is a great way to give an instant warning to anyone entering your property without permission.

You don’t have permission to enter this property.”
