Can the Doorbell Camera be hardwired to electricity ... will it work without a chime?

Hi ITY, based on the information at https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/install-homeview-doorbell-camera Given your current setup and the need for an electrician to run the electrical line, it is advisable to follow the technician's recommendation to ensure your Doorbell Camera works as intended. The TELUS Doorbell Camera typically requires a chime and transformer to function correctly. Directly connecting it to an electrical wire without a chime and transformer may not be compatible with the device's requirements.
