How do I connect Arlo Essential Video Doorbell to Arlo Chime?

[Timtimmens]

Hi,

I have my Arlo essential door bell wirelessly connected. This was easy enough to setup. 
I have now bought a Chime so that someone inside the house can be notified when someone is at the door. 

I am struggling to connect the Chime to the doorbell.

I go on to the device settings (Doorbell) and at the bottom is 'ADD CHIME'. When I do this, I am asked to plug ethernet cable to basestation or smarthub. I don't have a basestation or smarthub. 

How do I connect the Chime to the doorbell? 

Thank you

Which chime did you buy? Sounds like the original one, not the Chime 2 version.

Hi,

Yes, purchased the original chime. 

Thank you

That requires a base, so you need to exchange it for a Chime 2.
