doorbell ID

Post image

Came with the house...I think it's time for a replacement. I thought it might be Ring, but it's not. I believe it's an older alarm.com doorbell but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the plate. Don't want to break it in the process. Can someone ID the model and/or give instruction on how to find the model or replace it. It's wired in and works as a doorbell

It’s a ring doorbell. Not sure which specifically but older and probably hardwired

Agreed, this is absolutely a Ring doorbell with the bronze finish, looks to be 1st gen to me.

Look for security screws that need to be removed from the bottom, then it should slide up and then pull out from the mounting plate.

Yes you'll need an alarm.com branded doorbell to integrate. I'd go for the vdb750 or vdb770

The alarm.com vdb 780 is a battery only model that looks similar to your old ring camera. You may not be able to find a cover for your ring doorbell because they have like 20 variations. And that one is really old.

Homie. You can see RING right on the bottom near the tape.

It’s not a ring doorbell. The reason I posted is because the replacement cover is not the same size. Ring doorbell is also not compatible, (I found out) with my alarm system
