Now with two options tochoose from –our original Wi-Fi Doorbell Camera and our new Slim Line– it’seasy to deliver front door awareness toeven more customers!  \nEach Alarm.com Doorbell Camera featuresa doorbell with an integrated camera, PIR motion sensor, digital microphone and speaker, enabling homeowners to answer the door and speak to visitors via two-way audio –all right from their app.  \nINCLUDED MATERIALS ~~ ~~  \n• Wall mounting bracket  \n• Wall screws  \n• Masonry anchors  \nDEVICE COMPATIBILITY WITH ALARM. COM ~~ ~~  \n[Alarm.com](Alarm.com) Doorbell Cameras  \nThe following Doorbell Cameras are fully compatible [with Alarm.com:](with Alarm.com:)  \n• [Alarm.com](Alarm.com) Slim Line Doorbell Camera  \n• [Alarm.com](Alarm.com) Wi-Fi Doorbell Camera, SkyBell-HD Edition  \nSlim Line Incompatible with SkyBell and Other Platforms  \nThe Slim Line is not compatible with other platforms and apps, such as the SkyBell platform.  \nSkyBell HD Cameras  \nCertain SkyBell HD cameras, not purchased through [Alarm.com](Alarm.com) , may not be compatible with the Alarm. com platform.  \nSkyBell V1 and V2 Not Compatible  \nSkyBell V1 and V2 cameras are not compatible with [Alarm.com](Alarm.com).  \nPower and Chime Type  \n8-30VAC, 10VA or 12VDC, 0.5 to 1.0A wired to an inhome mechanical or digital doorbell chime. Note: A Digital Doorbell Adapter must be installed if a digital doorbell chime is present. See below for more information.  \nWARNING: An in-line resistor (10 Ohm, 10 Watt) is required when installing the doorbell camera without a wired, in-home doorbell chime. This is typically done when testing the doorbell or giving a demonstration. Failure to install a resistor when a chime is not present may result in damage to the doorbell camera.  \nWi-Fi  \nUpload speed of 2 Mbps is required. Compatible with Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz (on the 20 MHz bandwidth channel) up to 150 Mbps.  \nMounting  \nThe mounting plate affixes to a flat surface (a power drill may be required) and uses the existing doorbell wiring.  \nMobile App  \nDownload the latest [Alarm.com](Alarm.com) Mobile App for iOS or Android (version 4.4.1 or higher for video streaming).  \nPRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST ~~ ~~  \nWorking Doorbell Check  \nA wired doorbell circuit is required to provide power to the doorbell camera. First check that the existing wired doorbell is working and that it is wired properly.  \nThere is a power issue if the existing doorbell does not ring the indoor chime when the button is pressed. This issue must be addressed before beginning the doorbell camera installation process.  \nWired Doorbell Check  \nCheck that the existing doorbell is wired by visually inspecting the doorbell button for wires. If necessary, the doorbell can be removed from the wall to check for wiring. You can also inspect the chime inside the home-a chime plugged into a power outlet might indicate an incompatible wireless doorbell system is in place.  \nDoorbell Chime Type Check  \nLocate the chime inside the home and remove the faceplate. Identify the chime as one of the following types:  \nMechanical Chime – If the chime has metal bars and a striker pin, it is mechanical and will work without additional hardware.  \nDigital Chime- If the chime has a speaker that plays atone when pressed, it is digital and will require the installation of the Digital Doorbell Adapter and the enabling of the digital doorbell setting in the app to function properly.  \nTube Chime- If the chime has a series of tubular bells, it is a tube chime and is incompatible with the doorbell camera.  \nIntercom System – If the doorbell button fixture includes a speaker, it is an intercom system and is incompatible with the doorbell camera.  \nNo Chime – If there is no chime in the system, the customer will only receive alerts on th","cbCairEyGjWL693i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairEyGjWL693i","pdf",231507,"English","# Introduction\n# Included Materials\n# Device Compatibility with Alarm.com\n# Power and Chime Type\n# Wi-Fi\n# Mounting\n# Mobile App\n# Pre-Installation Checklist\n## Working Doorbell Check\n## Wired Doorbell Check\n## Doorbell Chime Type Check\n## Digital Doorbell Adapter\n## Wi-Fi Password Check\n## Internet & Wi-Fi Speed Check\n# Hardware Installation\n## Remove Existing Doorbell Button\n## Attach the Doorbell Mounting Bracket to the Wall","[{\"question\":\"Which Alarm.com doorbell camera models are compatible?\",\"answer\":\"Alarm.com Slim Line Doorbell Camera and the Alarm.com Wi‑Fi Doorbell Camera, SkyBell-HD Edition are listed as compatible with the Alarm.com platform.\"},{\"question\":\"What power and chime requirements must be met?\",\"answer\":\"Wired power must be 8–30VAC (10VA) or 12VDC (0.5–1.0A) connected to an in-home mechanical or digital doorbell chime.
