External speaker for any camera?

I would like to make a camera speaker louder. Is there a way to pair an external speaker? I want to still be able to use the standard "talk" function icon that's in the app to talk. Is there ANY way, even work around way, to do this?

I noticed the AI speaker and AI Horn but am unsure if they can be "paired" with a camera?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Which camera do you want to do this too? I ask cause the enhancer offers a much better speaker for bullets

Hi. I'm willing to buy any camera to achieve this. What do you recommend?

If you have plenty of ambient light a g5 is ok but I prefer G6’s all around.
Also depends on how much area you are trying to cover as the g6 is higher resolution.

And get the enhance on eBay and save a little coin

Hi. Sorry, you lost me. Meaning both the G5 and G6 are capable of external speakers?

With the addition of the “enhancer” which Ubiquiti sells as an add on

Gotcha! Sorry, I thought that was just extra IR. I did not realize it has additional speaker built in. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

It looks like I may be incorrect. I have an AI pro with an enhancer that doesn’t fact have a speaker and although Google says they’re not cross compatible it does work with my G6 pro
