Best answer
With most cameras you can turn on audio detection and set a threshold for it to activate but you can't get it to only work for dogs barking, sorry

And this is with the paid subscription ?

@sivia you don't have to have one for audio detection. Just edit your camera's rule in the mode you're using and check the box. Click save. Just be careful as some people report having many recordings if they are in a noisy area. Edit the threshold to get the right sensitivity for audio

@terrie Thanksng Yes I know that was just wondering if the paid subscription can detect and send notification for a dog bark . As we have a neighbor who says are dogs bark excessively . And would be nice to be able to have my own proof /audio of this ?

No, you can't get it to only activate with a dog barking but you can get it to activate every time your dog barks. as well as a truck driving by or someone making noise. Probably better that you have too many recordings than none when faced with a neighbor complaining

Yes, no. You can make the camera “sound activation only” but cannot make it only activate to a “dog bark”
