    Doorbell Wiring: 2 Buttons, 2 Chimes, 2 Transformers

    I downloaded the manual for the camera. It shows the jumper being used on the existing chime to short the TF (transformer) and Front terminals. I take that to mean the Eufy wants a direct "no-load" path to the transformer. Even so, I'll search for the posts you referenced and read up. Thanks!
