built-in CPU and video encoder. It requires only a power source and a

connection to the ADT Pulse Gateway or ADT Total Security (TS) Base panel.

•Dual Video Support. The RC8325-ADT supports H.264 and MJEPG video

compression.

Wireless Features

•Supports 802.11n Wireless Standard. The 802.11n standard provides

backward compatibility with the 802.11b and g standards.

Basic Setup

This section provides information on how to assemble and configure

the RC8325-ADT Wireless HD Camera.

Installation

1. Assemble the Camera

Attach the Camera Stand to the camera.

2. Power Up

Connect the supplied 12V power adapter to the HD camera and power up.

Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause

hardware damage.

CAUTION: Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different

one can result in hardware damage.

The Power LED turns on briefly, and then starts blinking. (The Power LED will

continue to blink during startup, which takes about one minute. After startup is

completed, the Power LED should remain ON.)

2. Make the Connection

Using a Wired Connection

If you are using a wired connection to the RC8325-ADT, connect a Micro USB

to RJ-45 Adapter Cable (not included) to the USB port of the camera. Then use

a standard Ethernet cable (not included) to connect to the Pulse Gateway or

Total Security (TS) Base panel.

Figure 4: Wire Connections

RC8325-ADT Wireless Day/Night HD Camera Installation Guide 7

Chapter 2 Basic Setup

Using a Wireless Connection

The wireless (WPS) connection between the camera and the Pulse Gateway or

Total Security (TS) Base panel is performed during the Pulse enrollment. This

process is detailed starting on page 12.

NOTE: The Wireless and LAN interfaces cannot be used

simultaneously. Making a wired LAN connection disables the

wireless interface.

4. Check the LEDs

•Power LED. At power up, the Power LED turns on briefly, and then starts

blinking. It blinks during startup, which takes about one minute. After

startup has completed, the Power LED remains on.

•Network/WPS LED. At power up, the Network/WPS LED is off.

(The Network/WPS LED will flash amber when the camera attempts to

connect wirelessly to the Pulse Gateway / TS Base. The Network/WPS

LED will turn solid green when the wireless connection is successful.)

5. Enroll the Camera in ADT Pulse

This process is described in the next chapter, ADT Pulse Enrollment.

6. Mount the Camera

Place the camera in a location near a power source. For mounting on a wall

using the mounting plate, see Chapter 4 Wall Mounting on page 17.

Mounting Suggestion

To get the best video quality for targets at night, make sure that the camera’s

field of view does not include a large foreground object, such as tabletop or

side wall. If installing on a tabletop, place the camera as close to the edge as

possible, as demonstrated in the photos in row 1 below. If installing on a wall,

angle the camera so that a minimal portion of the wall is visible, as

demonstrated in the photos in row 2 below.
