Q: QuestionIf I have two wireless Arlo doorbells (Front and back door)can both doorbells activate two separate chimes (main floor and basement ) within the house?

Asked 3 years ago by Bill.

• A:Answer Yes. If you have an arlo hub it gets very flexible. I have 2 chimes, 1 for the doorbell and one that's configured to play a different melody based upon which camera detected motion. It's a simple feature popular with my family so they know what triggered without a phone/app alert Only issue I have is no ability to load custom rings/melodies. You're limited to the 11 they provide.
