Video doorbell

Will the video doorbell work without being tied into existing doorbell?

I found the answer to my question.  I need a wireless video doorbell.

Hi @chuckgrenig ,

Yes, unfortunately we only have the one model of the Video Doorbell Pro, which does need to be plugged into an existing wired mechanical doorbell system.

We do have an Outdoor Camera, which might work for what you're looking for.

You can purchase a power adapter that plugs in.  You would have to run the wires along the wall to the doorbell.  The doorbell can ring through the base station.  Look for the transformer in accessories.

If there were a different company doorbell previously will the simpli safe video doorbell work?

@dpennonus1​ The Video Doorbell has a few requirements. It needs:

  • Existing doorbell wiring

  • A mechanical chime. The Video Doorbell Pro is not compatible with digital chimes

  • A transformer with 8-24VAC, 10-30VA

As along as your current setup aligns with these requirements, the Video Doorbell Pro will work at your home!
