Can ADT Command panels be set to detect a passerby and give an audible alert that the system is armed?

Hi, I live in a newish small condo building with about 15 units. The building has an ADT alarm with scheduled arming at night and disarming in the morning. A few units are rentals, and occasionally renters walk out the entrance at night and trigger the alarm, which they don't hear go off because they've already walked away. Tenants are then awoken by the loud alarm and have to turn the alarm off.

We've recently taken over the HOA from the builder and I'm trying to figure out a solution. We have a ADT Command panel, which apparently has a proximity sensor. (I think it's a 7” ADT Command Smart Security Panel.) Can the Command panel be set to give an audible "System is armed" announcement or similar when the proximity sensor is triggered by a passerby? In theory that would help reduce false alarms.

I'm asking here on Reddit because my searches of the ADT site, the internet, and the ADT documentation are not giving me an answer. Thanks a lot.

Please help me identify the make and model of this accordion

Hi, I've been carrying this accordion around for several years since a renter left it in my old apartment. I'm downsizing and it's far too nice to throw away. Appears to be in good shape but I know zero about accordions and I'm not a musician.

Could someone please identify the make and model? As you can see it says "Made in Italy" in English. I don't see any other markings or telltales. I welcome any advice about what to do with it. Thanks a lot!
