ADC-V729 Questions

[getoffmylawn]

Looking at the ADC-V729 (DC powered option). A couple of questions about how it appears in alarm.com and the IQ 4 panel:

• Is it controllable as separate components? In other words, can I setup the camera portion just like I do other cameras (with motion / person / animal detection with various rules for turning on lights, etc?)
• Can the lights be controlled separately just like any other light at alarm.com? Will that light control show on the IQ 4 panel with the other lights?
• Can its video be displayed on the IQ 4 panel like the other cameras?
• Can it be included in an svr-122 ?

Ideally, I’d like to use this for these use cases:

• When someone activates a scene, the scene can turn the lights on or off. (Connected to a Zooz scene controller by our back door)
• When the camera sees an animal, turn the lights on for x minutes
• Record video ONLY when a person (not an animal) is seen in the camera, send a notification and activate the lights for x minutes.

Thank you.

No. Looks like that camera only works with the Pro Series CSVRs (CSVR2000P, CSVR2008P, CSVR2016P, CSVR2108P, and CSVR2116P)

I just installed this last week. I can control the dimmable floodlight from the website and also the mobile app. However, I do not see the floodlight in the iq panel 4. When will this feature be added? Or, am I missing something? This is essential functionality.

Are you not able to see the floodlight camera on your IQ4 Panel or are you talking about the feature about controlling the floodlight?

I talked to alarm.com and they are confirming the camera can only provide live view video and there is currently no option to control the floodlight on the device. They have forwarded the feedback to their team and hopefully this is something they can do.

Thank you

I can see the floodlight camera on my IQ4 Panel.
I cannot control the floodlight from the IQ4 Panel. I only see lutron lights.
I can control the floodlight from the alarm.com iphone app and on alarm.com

Thanks for forwarding the feedback. Hopefully they can provide this functionality soon to the IQ4 Panel.
