Help Wiring an Ezviz DB1

[LeeJS]

(for some reason my posts keep disappearing. This is the 3rd time posting this)

OK, so I've bought an Ezviz DB1. I now need some advice on how to set it up for my situation.

My policy on all Home Automation kit is that it must be capable of working offline in case the router or internet go down. No point having fancy lights if they don't work when the router crashes.

Because of this, I'd like to wire up the DB1 with a mechanical chime. I don't have existing doorbell wiring I can use as the old one was battery operated and got ripped out when we replaced the door a few weeks back.
I also don't have an easy route from the fuse box to install a transformer there.

My plan is to drill through the wall and install a plug in PSU, which will connect to a chime. Has anyone else done a similar thing and what kit did you buy to achieve it?

Can I buy one of these:

This is now done, apologies for the delay, I was out this morning.

We just had a gent down under with the same situation. Check out this thread, and the one under door bell cameras.

Amcrest AD110 - Australia installation

Not that we install things upside down in Oz but our houses dont have Chimes like in the US. Ive been in touch with Amcrest support but they seem to copy and paste whats on their website. Ive received my AD110 door bell and Amcrest support said it supported both AC and DC so i hooked it up to...

Thanks, that's really helpful.
OK, so if I get that PSU will the chime I linked to work with it? The PSU is 18v and the chime seems to want 8v or batteries. Do I need a second PSU or can I run it from batteries?
Are the orange marks on the install diagram resistors? There seem to be a lot of them required and no indication as to what type, where they come from or how they should be fitted.

Yes, the chime will work from 7 to 12 volts DC or about 10 to 20 volts AC.

The orange marks are wire nuts making the connections on the wires.
