Zamel TRM-12 Transformer for SkyBell Doorbell Cameras
In regions where 220–240 V AC 50/60 Hz is used, Alarm.com has tested and certified the Zamel TRM-12 transformer for powering compatible SkyBell Doorbell Cameras. Its 12 V AC / 15 VA rating provides the necessary power to ensure reliable functionality of the doorbell’s components.
Note: While 16 V AC is typically recommended, the Zamel TRM-12 allows SkyBell Doorbell Cameras to work with existing lower voltage chimes.
