First Alert VX1 HD Vs. Alarm.com ADC-VDB750
Resideo and Alarm.com have both recently released new video doorbells. In this article, we will compare the features offered by the First Alert VX1 HD and the Alarm.com ADC-VDB750. Both companies are moving away from third-party products to offer their own video doorbells, which is good news.
In the past when third-party hardware such as the Skybell Video Doorbell was used, support could be tricky. This is due partly to the fact that Alarm.com and Resideo didn't control all of the hardware and software being used to capture and store those clips. With these new offerings, that is no longer an issue.
