For a detailed list of this video device's features, see Indoor Fixed wIR (ADC-520IR) - 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. 

Once the ADC-520IR is added to the account, it can be permanently installed using either a wireless broadband connection or wired Ethernet connection.

1. 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, see How do I extend the power supply of a camera?.
2. Press and hold the camera’s WPS button for three seconds and then press the corresponding WPS button on the router.
    
   Note: 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.
    
3. Wait a few minutes for the camera to connect to the Internet.
4. Add the device to the account by using the Alarm.com app Video Installation Wizard, or by using a web browser and entering the following web address: www.alarm.com/addcamera (you will need the customer’s user name and password if using the Alarm.com customer website).
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to add and set up the video device.
    
   Note: If using an Ethernet cable for setup, the camera's wireless settings can be configured after setup is complete. This must be done while the camera is still connected to the network through the Ethernet cable. For more information about how to configure a camera's wireless network settings, see Change a video device's wireless network settings.
    
6. 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 network, see Reconnect a camera to a Wi-Fi network if the router, network equipment, or wireless settings change.
