I will add, now that I have one, the only reolink doorbell that can operate an existing hardwired chime is the one that has a battery in it. I sent them feedback that this feature should be more prominent in the device comparisons for whatever good that’ll do.

The wifi one without battery won’t do it. I’m just going to move it to another door where that doesn’t really matter later when I buy the battery one next month. As it is, no hub is needed from my experience, though I did buy the 32channel NVR they sell. Thing takes up to three drives for a max of 48TB. Currently have a 4TB drive from bv-security in it.
