where does doorbell get it power when button is not pushed for awhile?
Not a wiring guru but my understanding of the existing system is that when the button is pushed it completes a closed circuit between the chime and the power transformer similar to a lightbulb switch. Question is how does the camera, sensor, and speaker get its power when the button is not pushed. I am assuming some parallel circuit exist internally which keeps power going to the camera, speaker and sensor. Am I correct? My transformer is a 16V 30VA AC so it should be plenty of power.

Hi @arthursmark,
The Video Doorbell Pro gets its power and sound from the wired analog doorbell it is plugged into. As long as your Video Doorbell Pro is plugged into your doorbell, it will get power.
