Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Hikvision video doorbell to trigger a honeywell digital chime. I ran into an intermittent issue, where the power kit was not functioning properly- it was not sending enough voltage to the doorbell, and too much to the digital chime, frying the transformer. I'm guessing this happens because the digital chime does not have the same properties as a mechanical chime and the power kit malfunctions. (the digital trigger does wire up the same as a mechanical chime so you can replace one with the other)
I added a 12 ohm 25w wire wound resistor into the circuit so the digital trigger reacts the same as a mechanical chime (similar rest/trigger V and A)
This seems to have solved the issue in parallel.
My question is, should that resistor be in series or parallel? or does it matter?
Drawing attached- Hikvision setup is the same as Ring which had better drawings.
Thanks for the help!
