Chime as in the extra accessory that you can purchase from arlo, or you mean a normal doorbell mechanism that makes the doorbell sound inside your home?

We have a new construction home that was wired for a normal doorbell and then we replaced it with arlo and it works with the normal doorbell chiming mechanism!

Arlo wired doorbell comes with an attachment so that it can work with the chiming mechanism for the doorbell.

I would guess that without the doorbell mechanism in your house that the arlo doorbell would still ring to your phone and would still pick up audio and video but maybe look into getting the plug in arlo chime accessory too?

If you are hardwiring it in it needs an existing doorbell and wiring. If you are going wireless purchase the $50 chime Arlo sells.

No, you do not require a chime and can use the existing doorbell ring you wired your Arlo Wired video doorbell too.
