Yes. However, when the SkyBell Doorbell Camera is wired to an AC transformer or a DC adapter with a current rating higher than 0.5A, it requires a 10 Ohm 10 Watt resistor.

It is recommended to install the SkyBell 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.

Power requirements

A SkyBell Doorbell Camera wired without a doorbell chime requires 16–24 VAC, 10 VA (20 VA if two doorbell cameras are on the circuit) and a 10 Watt, 10 Ohm resistor.

Power requirements

A SkyBell Doorbell Camera powered using a DC power supply requires 15–24 VDC, 0.5–1 A. Power supplies with a current rating over 0.5 A need a 10 Watt, 10 Ohm resistor.

To attach the DC adapter to the SkyBell Doorbell Camera:

1. Cut off the barrel plug.
2. Strip the wires just enough to let them make good contact with the SkyBell Doorbell Camera's terminals.
3. If the current rating for the DC power supply is higher than 0.5 A, add a 10 Watt, 10 Ohm resistor.
4. Attach the wires to the SkyBell Doorbell Camera terminals — polarity does not matter.
