Doorbell and Alexa

Support
1

I’m looking to get a compatible doorbell. It seems like the new Alarm.com branded one is more advanced than the SkyBell ones, but would appreciate the forum’s perspective.

I am also wondering whether and now an Alarm.com doorbell interacts with Alexa. The features that would be great would be (1) to see the doorbell camera through an Echo device, (2) communicate through the doorbell using an Echo device and (3) perhaps more basic - getting doorbell chimes through Echo in addition to the Qolsys panels.

Many thanks.

The ADC-VDB770 is the way to go. It requires video analytics, but that is included in the doorbell only add-on now. (Also in the Complete or Protect plans)

It has a better image quality, field of view, and analytics are much better than the PIRs in the Skybell at triggering on desired motion.

The type of Echo integration you are referencing is not available at this time, no.
