What alarm/siren can be used to the IP2M-841 alarm port?

IP2M-841 has an alarm in/out port on the back and also the manual says this at the Motion Detect Section:

Relay Out: This checkbox allows the user to enable the camera to trigger a connected alarm (connected to the alarm port on the back of the camera) when a motion detection alarm is triggered.

Is there anyone who uses this feature and knows what type of alarm, siren or buzzer can be used with IP2M-841?

I don't think Amcrest knows that the IP2M -841 has an alarm hookup. They don't seem to be responding to this issue. The help desk doesn't know that the camera has an alarm connector on the back. I bought a small 12v alarm with a 2 wire hookup. All of the alarms I found were 12v. I hooked it up the back of the camera 4 different ways and got no sound. The camera setup looks easy enough. But I could never get it to work nor could I get a response from amcrest.
