Wired Video Doorbell Reviews
Wired video doorbells can use a hard-wired power supply, typically from a doorbell transformer with an output of between 16 and 24 volts. Some can also use a DC plug adapter using the same voltage. Two screw terminals on the back of the doorbell allow for easy connection of these wires.
