For regions where 220-240 V AC 50/60 Hz is used, Alarm.com has tested and certified the use of the Zamel TRM-12 transformer with the following list of SkyBell Doorbell Cameras.

The 12 V AC / 15 VA rating provides the necessary requirements to ensure the reliable functionality of the doorbell camera's components.
