[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 534913, member: 23472"] As it's a "video doorbell" there is nothing to make a sound like a "Normal doorbell" so it sends your phone a notification. Ring sell an additional device called "Chime" for £30 or the "Chime pro" for £50 I think, some, not all video doorbells have an option to operate an existing doorbell, but you wont have that, as you have to take out the existing to fit the video doorbell Oh, and the other thing to consider, if you are in a poor signal area, your phone will not receive a notification, (Obviously, but its something to consider) Also if the doorbell company goes under, you have just lost your functionality. Several home automation kit providers have gone bust already, so has a EV car charger company, but they have a reprieve [/QUOTE]
