ADC-VDB775

Not recommended

The premium wired doorbell in the range at 4MP, sold in the same finishes as the 750. Same closed video platform, so it is no more reachable from Home Assistant than the cheaper model.

Alarm.com video has no local path: the camera serves no RTSP or ONVIF stream, and needs a video plan bought through a dealer. A picture can be coaxed into Home Assistant through an unofficial community integration, but only by way of Alarm.com's servers on a reverse-engineered API.

A maintained community fork does now expose Alarm.com cameras in Home Assistant, streaming over WebRTC and rendered by a custom Lovelace card it ships. That makes the picture reachable, which is worth knowing on a takeover, but it does not make the camera local: the stream is fetched from Alarm.com with short-lived tokens, so it depends on the paid plan, the vendor cloud, and an unofficial project Alarm.com can break at any time. Recordings still cannot be held on hardware the client owns. We specify cameras that serve RTSP and ONVIF directly, so Frigate or an on-site NVR holds the footage and Home Assistant gets the detections without a subscription in the path.

Roles it can fill

The 4MP step up from the ADC-VDB750, hardwired, and sold in matching finishes as the -BZ and -S part numbers. More resolution at the door is genuinely useful, since a doorbell is the camera most often asked to identify a face or read a label on a parcel.

It needs a transformer within the doorbell’s range and the supplied power module in line, the same as the rest of the wired range.

There is no local stream and no local press event. Where a client wants 4MP at the front door and a system that can act on the press, a wired ONVIF doorbell gets both, and keeps the recordings on hardware they own.

Hardware availability

Alarm.com hardware is sold and provisioned through authorized dealers, and the video, access control and business products also need the matching Alarm.com service plan on top of the hardware. The Z-Wave devices are the exception: they carry no service dependency once they are out of the panel’s network, and they turn up on the resale market at a fraction of dealer pricing.
