Pre-installation checklist
- ADC-V515 camera (included).
- AC power adapter (included).
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection to broadband internet (Cable, DSL, or Fiber Optic).
- An Alarm.com account with a service package that supports video.
- 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 ADC-V515 to the Internet: Access Point (AP) mode and Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode. Use WPS mode if you have easy access to the router and the router has the WPS feature enabled.
- Note that some Internet Service Providers disable the WPS feature on supplied routers. AP mode is the most reliable wireless method for installing this device.
