Update Coming for Alarm.com ADC-VDB770 Doorbell Camera

We have a quick bit of news today, as we have learned from Alarm.com that the ADC-VDB770 Video Doorbell Camera will soon receive an automatic firmware update as part of an overnight upgrade process. This is expected to occur over the upcoming weeks. Users should not need to take any action.

According to Alarm.com Firmware Upgrade Version 02104 for the Alarm.com ADC-VDB770 Video Doorbell will include stability enhancements to the firmware upgrade process and improvements to device performance in cold weather. From what we can tell, the update will not include any new features or functions, and it is only designed to improve device reliability and overall performance.

It is strongly advised that all users receive the upgrade, as it should help the ADC-VDB770 Doorbell Camera work more reliably. We know a "cold weather" enhancement in the early summer might seem a bit unusual, but at least Alarm.com is taking proactive action. After all, it will be winter before you know it!

Users should not need to take any special action to receive the update. You also should not notice any service disruptions as part of the upgrade. Just have the doorbell device powered on and connected with your local WIFI network. As long as you have the device in active use and set up with your Alarm.com account, then the firmware update should be pushed down automatically sometime in the coming weeks as part of an overnight upgrade process.
