Pre-installation checklist

  • ADC-V723 camera (included).
  • AC power adapter (included).
  • Wireless (2.4 or 5 GHz) connection to broadband (Cable, DSL, or Fiber Optic) internet.
  • A computer, tablet, or smartphone with Wi-Fi is required if the router does not have the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature.

There are two options for connecting the V723 to the Wi-Fi network: Access Point (AP) mode or Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode. Use WPS mode if you have easy access to the customer’s router and the router has the WPS feature enabled.

Note: Some Internet Service Providers disable the WPS feature on their routers. AP mode is the most reliable method for installing this device.

Troubleshooting

  • If you have issues connecting the camera to the account, power cycle the camera and try again.
  • If issues persist, reset the camera to factory defaults. Press and hold the Reset button located on the bottom of the camera until the LED is flashing Green and Red (about 15 seconds), then release the button. The camera will reboot with factory defaults.
    • You may need to unscrew the SD card door to get at the Reset button easier.

Important: If the camera was previously installed to an Alarm.com account, it will need to be deleted before it can be installed again. If this is the case, only the original user or dealer can do this.

  • Prolonged exposure to sunlight in extreme conditions may impact the camera’s performance. The optimal installation location is in a shaded area (e.g., under an eave).
