Broadband (Cable, DSL, or Fiber Optic) Internet connection with a router
- For more information about bandwidth requirements, see What are the internet service and bandwidth requirements for Alarm.com video devices?.
Computer or web-enabled device
Username and password for the customer’s Alarm.com account
A router with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button or an Ethernet cable

For a detailed list of this video device's features, see Indoor Fixed (ADC-V520) - Data Sheet.

Install the cameras:

To ensure sufficient Wi-Fi signal, complete these steps with the camera near its final location but prior to mounting. For more information about general video installation and maintenance guidelines, see Video Installation Best Practices.

Once the ADC-V520 is added to the account, it can be permanently installed using either a wireless broadband connection or wired Ethernet connection.

Connect the camera’s AC adapter and plug it into a non-switched outlet. If the standard power supply is too short to reach an outlet, extension cables are available for the video device. For more information about how to extend the power supply, see How do I extend the power supply of a camera?.
Press and hold the camera’s WPS button for three seconds and then press the corresponding WPS button on the router.
- If the router does not have a WPS button or if you have trouble connecting, use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the network router.
Wait a few minutes for the camera to connect to the Internet. When the LED is solid green, the connection is complete.
Add the device to the account using the Alarm.com app Video Installation Wizard, or by visiting www.alarm.com/addcamera to access the Alarm.com customer website.
Follow the on-screen instructions to add and set up the video device. For more information about adding a camera to an account, see Enroll the video device to the customer account.

Note: If using an Ethernet cable for setup, the camera's wireless settings can be configured after setup is complete.
Once the camera is enrolled on the account, power down the camera and install it in its final location using the included hardware.

For information about how to reconnect a camera to a wireless network, see Reconnect a camera to a Wi-Fi network if the router, network equipment, or wireless settings change.
