check the instructions that came with your alarm or search online for product information.
The alarm location doesn’t generate echoes and doesn’t have sounds that are louder than
the alarm.
There won’t be motion in your camera’s field of view while you conduct the alarm test. If
the camera detects motion during the test, it might not be clear whether the camera also
detected the alarm.
