Great question! The Night Owl DB-WNIP2 Smart Video Doorbell can send push notifications to your phone through the Night Owl Protect app, even if you don’t have an existing doorbell or chime. However, to clarify: ✅ Yes, you can receive app alerts and view live video through the app without having a physical chime installed. ❌ No, the doorbell does not produce a chime sound on your phone like a ringtone by default. The mobile notification is a standard push alert, not a customizable chime or audio alert. If you’re looking for a chime-like sound from your phone, you can enable custom notification tones in your phone's settings for the app. The doorbell itself also has an optional plug-in chime accessory (sold separately) if you'd prefer a physical sound indoors. — Night Owl SP Digital Support Team
