SkyBell Recommendations
Due to increasing compatibility issues with certain chimes, especially digital chimes and chimes manufactured by Nutone, please use a mechanical chime listed below. These chimes are recommended by Alarm.com.
- Newhouse Hardware, Model CHM1
- Byron, Model 771
- Heath Zenith SL-27102
Transformer
- A SkyBell Doorbell Camera requires 16–24 VAC, 10 VA. There should be no other devices wired to this transformer (address lights, outdoor lighting, etc.)
Wiring
- 18 gauge, solid wire is highly recommended by Skybell and most doorbell manufacturers. Smaller gauge or Cat5/6 wire can cause large voltage drops and interference.
