Hey Guys

I’m currently looking at doing away with ring Alarm and Cameras and coming back to Alarm.com I wanted to ask about the VDB750 as I have read that if u dont have an existing doorbell.u would need to get a transformer and resisters, what I wanted to know could I use my existing ring plugin adapter for the new ADC doorbell that is currently Suppling my Ring Doorbell specs for the Plugin are Power input: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, 0.5A / Power output: 24V DC, 0.5A, 12.0W, doorbell Hardwired transformer (16 to 24 VAC, 50/60Hz, 10VA to 40VA) this is what is current set up wanted to ask before I looked at buying the doorbell and trying it ?

The VDB750 can be powered by DC transformers 15-24 VDC, 6-20W. Sounds like your existing power supply would work.

3

Would I need anything else or could I just remove ring and put that one up and plug it in and go?

Unlike other Alarm.com video doorbells, the ADC-VDB750 does not require a resistor for installation without a chime.

You can just connect the wires from the DC adapter to the terminals on the back of the ADC-VDB750.

ok now does this doorbell allow for 247 onboard recording?

The ADC-VDB750 does not support onboard recording via SD Card.

Compatible doorbells that do support that features include:

  • ADC-VDB775 - 1.5 TB on firmware version 04016+
  • ADC-VDB770 - 512 GB on firmware version 02234+
    • The ADC-VDB770 is not compatible with audio recording and playback for 24/7 Onboard Recording. Live View and Cloud Recordings still work with audio as expected.

What all would need to make the VDB775 work without an exsiting doorbell ?

If you are installing on a brand new location, then you will need either an AC Power Supply or a DC power supply with a wire between the doorbell location and the transformer location. The power requirements are:

AC transformer - 16-24 VAC, 10-40VA (16VAC, 10VA recommended)
DC transformer - 18-24VDC, 12-30W

If I use dc power do I need a resistor? Or anything
