Alarm.Com ADC-VACC-DB-A Manuals

Digital doorbell adapter - Installation guide A digital doorbell adapter (DDA) is required for all digital chimes to work with the Alarm.com Doorbell Camera. The primary function of a DDA is to regulate the power going to the digital speaker throughout the duration of the chime. The DDA is installed in the middle of the chime's circuit. Connect the DDA to the chime prior to installing the Doorbell Camera. The DDA can be ordered from the Alarm.com Partner Portal. The SKU for the DDA is ADC-VACC-DB-A. For more information about placing orders using the Partner Portal, see How do I order equipment?. Pre-installation checklist • Compatible digital chime.

Can the Alarm.com Doorbell Camera be used without a chime? Yes. However, the power requirements are different when installing an Alarm.com Doorbell Camera without a chime. The Doorbell Camera will either require a 10 Ohm 10 Watt resistor with 5% tolerance on the existing AC transformer's circuit or a DC adapter rated at 12 VDC 0.5–1.0 Amps. Installing an Alarm.com Doorbell Camera without a chime is typically done for testing or demonstration. It is recommended to install the Alarm.com Doorbell Camera in an existing doorbell circuit (i.e., a circuit with a doorbell button, chime, and transformer) to make installation easier and to provide the most usability for the customer. Connect an Alarm.com Doorbell Camera to an AC transformer The transformer should be rated 16–24 VAC, 10 VA for a single Doorbell Camera. A 10 Ohm 10 Watt resistor with 5% tolerance must be used to replace the chime. The Doorbell Camera must function as part of a complete circuit, meaning it requires direct power on one side and a wired doorbell or the resistor on the other. Caution: Failure to install a 10 Ohm 10 Watt resistor with 5% tolerance when using an AC transformer with no chime may result in damage to the Doorbell Camera.
