I run the doorbell off a Ubiquiti POE switch

The Audio Doorbell uses AA batteries, so this approach couldn't work with that product.

POE supplies DC power, and the Arlo Video Doorbells both need AC, so that's not a good idea either.

As its name suggests, the Audio Doorbell is an audio-only device; there's no built-in camera. You'll still get a push alert when the doorbell's motion sensor detects activity -- or if someone rings the bell -- but you can only speak to them. You can't see them.

Unscrew the doorbell button and touch together the two wires fastened to the back; if the contact between the wires makes the bell ring, then the button is broken and should be replaced. ... If the button isn't the problem, check the bell unit itself. Yours may be an inexpensive bell or a fancier chime unit.
