Getting the hang of it
Hello There!
I just ordered a RCA HSDB2A and I'm waiting for it to arrive.
I don't have an existing traditional door bell. I'm currently using a push button connected to a Z-wave device. That works great but my new Doorbell Camera will have only 2 connections that by "some magic" is used both for power supply and can work as a push button for an ancient/traditional doorbell system.
I'm aware that I'll be able to receive notifications when someone rings my door bell to my cell phone but I'm sure there will be a delay, especially if my phone is trying to save power.
What I'd like is to have an instant way to notify my home automation system (using Z-Wave or a 433 MHz device like ACDB-7000)
I wonder what the magical "Power Kit" that comes with RCA HSDB2A actually is...
I need to buy a transformer. Tried to have a look at the Quick Start Guide. I wonder if it's been written by aliens...
Maybe things get more clear when I receive the doorbell device.
How have you guys, owner of a RCA HSDB2A, EZVIZ DB1 or a Laview One Halo solved notification to Home Automation System?
Cheers!

Why would I like to install a resistor in series with the 16-24VAC power supply? Or are they really suggesting that I connect the doorbell directly to the grid!!! They do actually write
Scary... or do they have 24VAC in the grid in China?
