To enroll a camera, connect the camera to the local network, then associate the camera with the Alarm.com account.
There are three local options for connecting video devices to the network:
- Ethernet,
- Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Mode, and
- Access Point (AP) Mode.
Some video devices can only be connected using some of those options, so verify which methods are supported before beginning the enrollment process.
Pre-enrollment checklist:
- AC power adapter (required for non-PoE connections)
- Broadband (Cable, DSL or Fiber Optic) internet connection with a router
- A computer or mobile device with internet access
- An Ethernet/Cat5 cable (if using an Ethernet-capable camera)
- Alarm.com account access through the ADC Website, or ADC mobile app.

Enroll the video device to the Alarm.com account
Once the video device is connected to an internet network, it can be associated to a Alarm.com account using the Alarm.com mobile app or Alarm.com Website.
To enroll the video device using the Alarm.com mobile app installation wizard:
- Log into the ADC mobile app.
- Tap **Menu

- Click Settings.
- Click Add Video Device.
- Find the desired video device in the list and enter a name for the video device.
- Next to the desired video device, click Install. The video device appears in the list automatically when it is on the same local network as the device performing the installation. If the video device is missing from the list:
-
Enter the MAC address found on the video device’s label, and then click Find.
