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