Video doorbell without existing doorbell

Question

I’m trying to install the video doorbell and our home doesn’t have an existing doorbell. I assumed the SimpliSafe doorbell was similar to ring, blink and other doorbells that use a battery. Is there a way to make the SimpliSafe doorbell work with a battery or do I need to get an electrician out to wire things up? We use SimpliSafe for all of our home security so I’d like to keep the doorbell on the same system.

@raharriscustoms The Video Doorbell Pro requires doorbell wiring from an existing analog doorbell in order to receive power. Unfortunately, the Video Doorbell Pro cannot power on without the wiring.

Thank you for this response, but if I have the outdoor doorbell wiring to the front door, but not the actual *doorbell* inside (which was removed from our interior during a recent remodel), will the Video Doorbell Pro still be functional? In other words, I could hardwire it outside but don't have a doorbell inside. Still OK?
