FAQs
Does this doorbell require existing doorbell wiring?
The Wired Video Doorbell Pro (3rd gen) - Plug-in comes with a plug-in adapter for continuous power, so existing doorbell wiring is not strictly required. However, it is compatible with existing doorbell wiring if you prefer that setup.
What is Retinal 4K technology?
