Wire a traditional doorbell chime and transformers to your Verkada intercom

Updated over a week ago

Verkada Intercoms includes an output relay that you can use to trigger a doorbell/chime.

Configure a Chime output

Requirements

  • 1 or more door bell chimes

  • 1 doorbell transformer

  • Bell wire

How it works

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Intercom.

  2. Select your Verkada intercom and click Settings.

  3. Click I/O > Output and select Chime. The Intercom's relay will change state and a third-party chime can be powered.

Wire your Intercom

This configuration was tested using a 16V MAXDOT Doorbell Transformer (part #T57-0052) and Newhouse Hardware chimes (part #CHM1), both of which can be found on Amazon.com.

  1. Remove the terminal block or pigtail from the rear of your Intercom (if you have a TD33, see Wire a TD33 Video Intercom for wiring diagram).

  2. Wire the COM output on the terminal block to one of the terminal screws on the doorbell transformer.

  3. For each doorbell, wire the Front and Trans terminals to the NO terminal on the intercom, and the remaining terminal on the doorbell transformer, respectively, as shown.

  4. Reinsert the terminal block.

    Example: For multiple doorbells, wire in parallel
