Camera works OK if the WI-FI signal is OK and stable (normal), but because MOTION detector is activated on the camera,the buzzing notification is send to e-mail and the notification on the phone is showing, sometimes on WHOLE Screen, sometimes only in the right corner like in the pic with red rotating siren, that tell you that motion is detected.Whats the problem? I'm changing the SOUND of the Alarm because when motion is detected automatic the camera start the alarm and siren is ON, its so LAUD that its annoying,problem its that if alarm notification/buzzer is OFF camera cant work. SO they must be ON both of them. I cant change the SOUND/melody of the alarm, to play some more calm sound instead of special force chasing you(camera is used in home for monitor old person with dementia). In the settings is showing that sound is changed,but when motion is detected that doesn't change is by default the same. Only shows that is changed but it wont play different sound. Can I some how delete all others sound and leave only 1 so camera wont be able to calculate? (im speaking bu..s... because i dont know what to do) The settings itself show you 2 options : 1-st SD card because camera need to have SD so can take video and 2-nd System, and you can choose from those two, but im telling you it just appear that is changed but in the reality is the same (default) sound of Siren. I contacted GEMBIRD and they say that cant solve these problem, I tell them to trow the camera in garbage because these days every thing is made by ch... sh.. ,you must pay the highest price to get the medium quality something that in the 80 or 90 was different, then we've payed low price and we were getting the great quality, they share my words and accepted that fact and give me the contact from Chinese firm that are making the software and now i'm waiting answer from them, something I don't think i will get. So I'm asking here for HELP, can i some how open the camera and cut some wire or take out speaker so it wont be able to play and i will still get sound on my mobile throw app.
Forget to mention : Im using iVIEW PRO app for android that is given by official seller and this cannot be done via computer software, because it does not support this features. Thanks for the reading my fingers are getting tight like the gym guy and sorry if this is at wrong place. Correct me. Have a nice day and hope for solving the problem sure I'm not the only one. Again thanks for your time and appreciate the help from you g's and gents.

I doubt the solution will be here.

Since you may be the only one with this camera you may have to dive in and try to open it to cut the wire to the speaker.

Again, I'm running into folk that want step by step pictures or a YouTube on such but rarely find such as the products are too rare. We are left to dive in to solve it. Why cut the wire? Can you fill the speaker with glue to silence it?

I worry you might not get the answer you seek and wonder if the only exits are live with it, fill the speaker with some glue or dive in there.
