Alarm.com Image Sensor ADC-IS-221-LP - Data Sheet
The Image Sensor (model ADC-IS-221-LP) is compatible with a variety of Alarm.com systems. For more information about compatible systems, see System compatibility.
The Image Sensor is a breakthrough new product that combines a PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor, an integrated still camera, completely wireless communication, and Alarm.com Interactive Services. The Alarm.com Image Sensor offers an entirely new service to the customer designed to deliver better security through visual verification of alarms and increased engagement through on-demand property views.
It’s ETL certified, battery-operated, and communicates with the customer’s security control panel. Swap it for a standard motion sensor in typical installations for increased end-user value, and higher account RMR.
Integrated with Alarm.com Interactive Services, images are easily accessible to customers. All uploaded images are viewable on the Alarm.com Customer Website or through the mobile apps. Users can even receive images in text or email alerts whenever an image is uploaded — whether in the event of an alarm, or on-demand for important events.
