Is there a way to have an Arlo wireless doorbell ring some type of chime inside the house? When we're home and don't have a phone nearby, it would be good to hear it chime. Thanks for any help.

Yes.

  1. You can add an Arlo Chime 2.  https://www.arlo.com/en-us/accessories/AC2001-100NAS.html
  2. If you have an existing chime, the doorbell will likely work with it.

once I get the chime, just plug it in and pair it with the doorbell?

You'll start by adding it as a device in the app.

Well, I don't own a chime - so I can't give you much details on the install.

It's connected through your home wifi to the Arlo cloud.  Not sure the signal path is doorbell->base->chime or doorbell->base->cloud->chime, but I suspect the first path.
