What it is
Front-door video that belongs with your security app
Alarm.com doorbells let you see and speak with visitors from your phone, and can unlock a compatible smart lock from the call experience when that lock is integrated. They are a different product story from preferred wired PoE/NVR cameras.
Powering options include existing doorbell wiring and, for some models, PoE or wireless variants. We match the doorbell to your chime, transformer, and network during the site review.

Install notes
Wiring and plan before promises
We confirm doorbell power, chime compatibility, and Wi-Fi or PoE path for the chosen Alarm.com model. Video features require appropriate Alarm.com video/doorbell service — we do not promise live view on an intrusion-only plan.
Model names can be discussed at quote from current ADC offerings (including wired/PoE door stations where they fit). Website copy stays feature-accurate without inventing analytics claims.
Wired doorbell power
Common residential path using existing transformer/chime.
PoE door station option
For jobs that want Ethernet-only door video on the ADC path.
Lock pairing
Unlock-from-doorbell only with compatible integrated locks.

FAQ
Common questions
Is the doorbell in Alarm.com or a separate brand app?
Home Shield’s doorbell path is Alarm.com. Preferred wired NVR camera kits are a different viewing experience.
Will it work with my old mechanical chime?
Often, with the right power and module — we verify on site. Some homes need a chime upgrade.
Can I get continuous recording from the doorbell?
Recording options depend on the model and plan (event clips, onboard storage on select devices, or broader ADC recording products). We confirm for the quoted doorbell.
Do I need cameras if I have a doorbell?
A doorbell covers the porch conversation. Driveway and side-yard cameras cover what the doorbell cannot see.
