Install the cameras:

  1. Connect the camera’s AC adapter and plug it into a non-switched outlet. Allow at least two minutes before pressing any camera buttons. 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.
    • 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. Allow a few minutes for the camera and router to connect. When the LED is solid green, the wireless connection is complete. 
  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 or Alarm.com app).
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to add and set up the video device.
     
    Note: If using an Ethernet for setup, the wireless network can be configured once the camera is added to the account.
     
  6. Once the camera is enrolled on the account, power down the camera and install it in its final location using the included hardware.
