Doorbell Power Feed From Alarm Panel?

[adzyp]

Morning all, im looking to fit one of these camera doorbells and although they can be battery powered, id prefer to wire it up if possible.

Right behind the wall where the doorbell would go is a little cloakroom cupboard and inside there is my alarm panel (Veritas Excel).

I was wondering if its possible to take a feed from some of the cabling inside there to keep it powered or even better there may be a spare slot where some of the addons go (which i dont have) that i could use?

Are you asking if you can power the camera off the alarm control panel ?
Or
Take a power connection off the 230v spur of the alarm control panel ?

Power the camera from alarm panel wiring, it only needs to be 8-24v

Not possible
The camera voltage is 16 -20 volts A/C you will need a A/C power supply.
The alarm control panel voltage output is 12volts dc @ 1amp max.
Buy a A.C. transformer and connect to alarm spur

I wouldn’t recommend it. Just fit a separate psu in the cupboard
