From what I've seen, it looks like most doorbells and the Elk 930 run off 24vAC. I have a Leviton 12V Power distribution module in my enclosure where the doorbell wire is run and was hoping I could use that to power the doorbell rather than have another wall wart plugged in there. Is this possible or can somebody recommend a compact doorbell transformer.
Also, I was wondering if anybody could recommend a decent doorbell/hidden cam option? I like the channelvision products but it seems like they either pipe into a Pansonic or other whole house intercom system. I'm just looking for a simple doorbell + hidden cam. To keep it simple, I was thinking of buying a brushed alum single gang plate and drill a hole for a standard lighted doorbell and another small hole for a camera similar to the one in the channel visions.
Thanks,
Steve
