Installation guides
- ADC-VDB770 wiring guideThe ADC-VDB770 wiring guide explains supported wiring setups for one or two doorbell cameras with one chime, two chimes, or no chime, including transformer requirements, Power Module use, resistor requirements, and supported chime types. It also notes that two ADC-VDB770s are only supported on one circuit when using one chime, digital chimes cannot support more than one ADC-VDB770, and standard installations usually require the ADC-VDBA-PM Power Module.
- Wire the ADC-VDB770 without a chimeThe ADC‑VDB770 can be powered without a chime using either a 15–30 V DC adapter (minimum 8 W) or a 16–30 V AC transformer (10–30 VA), but a 10‑watt, 10‑ohm resistor with 5% tolerance is required and not included

Frequently asked questions
- Can the ADC-VDB770 be used in climates that reach higher or lower than the temperature rating?Yes. Functionality may be reduced during peak winter or summer weather depending on the climate.
- Can two ADC-VDB770s be wired to a single digital chime?No. Digital chimes cannot support more than one ADC-VDB770 at a time.
- How does the Video Doorbell Mounting Wall Plate work?Video Doorbell Mounting Wall Plate (ADC-VDBA-WP) that is installed between the ADC-VDB770 and the wall. Mounting wall screws and anchors (the same type as what is included with the ADC-VDB770) are also included with each unit.
- How does the Video Doorbell Temperature Collar work?The Video Doorbell Temperature Collar (ADC-VDBA-TC) is a molded polymer that matches the shape of the area between the ADC-VDB770 back plate and the mounting surface (whether a mounting bracket is used or not). The temperature collar is designed to be used in very cold environments (i.e., below -30C) to extend the operational range of the ADC-VDB770.
- How does the Video Doorbell Touchless Cover work?The Video Doorbell Touchless Cover (ADC-VDBA-COVER) blocks the ADC-VDB770 button from being pressed and has Touchless Doorbell…Stand on Mat to Ring printed on the front.
- What are the network requirements for the ADC-VDB770?The networking (e.g., Wi-Fi signal strength, network bandwidth, etc.) requirements for the ADC-VDB770 are the same as the general network requirements for Alarm.com video devices.
General information
- Adjust how long to request clip uploads during an alarmVideo devices can be configured to upload back-to-back clips during an alarm for 1 to 15 minutes using the website.
- Adjust saved video resolution, image quality, or frame rateVideo settings can be customized for each camera and video device.
- Adjust the live image quality of a cameraLive video image quality can be changed to improve either motion clarity. Increasing the video image quality improves the fine details in the picture — decreasing the video image quality reduces the amount of bandwidth the video device needs.

- Interact with visitors and devices using the doorbell camera call screenUsing Alarm.com doorbell cameras one can talk to individuals at their door using the Customer app or a compatible panel. This article provides more details about this interaction.
- What is the supported American Wire Gauge (AWG) for a video doorbell camera?18-20 gauge wire (AWG) is supported for all video doorbell camera installations. 18-20 AWG provides the correct amount of resistance needed to power an Alarm.com Video Doorbell camera. Gauges outside of these recommendations affect the resistance of the wire and may deliver incorrect power to the device.
