Pre-Installation Checklist

  • ADC-V730 camera (included)
  • AC power adapter (included)
  • Wi-Fi (2.4 or 5 GHz) connection to broadband Internet (Cable, DSL, or Fiber Optic) Internet.
  • A computer, tablet, or smartphone with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is required if the router does not have the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature

There are three options for connecting the ADC-V730 to the Wi-Fi network:

  • Bluetooth (BLE) mode
  • Access Point (AP) mode
  • Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode

Note: Some Internet Service Providers disable the WPS feature on routers. BLE mode is the preferred method for installing this video device.

In the Box

  • ADC-V730 camera
  • 12V/1.5A Power Adapter
  • Installation sheet with QR code and drill template
  • Wall anchors & screws (3)
  • Rubber plug

Important: A rubber plug has been included with the ADC-V730 at the base of the mount. This rubber plug should only be used if the device is being mounted directly over a hole in the wall. The rubber plug will provide a seal to prevent water from entering the hole in the wall behind the camera. In all other installations, please remove the rubber plug. Removing the rubber plug will allow you to route the power cable through the mouse hole without bending or breaking the cable.
