ADC-V721W / V722W Outdoor Bullet Camera Overview

Common Terms

AP Mode

The camera broadcasts a temporary Wi-Fi SSID (ALARM (xx:xx:xx)). Use your phone or PC to join that network and configure your home Wi-Fi credentials via its web interface at 192.168.1.1.

WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup: press the camera’s WPS button, then press your router’s WPS button within 2 minutes to pair automatically without entering a password.

PIR Sensor

Passive Infrared detector inside the camera that senses heat/motion. Triggers recording or alerts when it detects a temperature change in its coverage zone.

Firmware

Embedded software running on the camera. Updates may add features, improve image quality, and patch security vulnerabilities. Check Alarm.com for update notifications.

Factory Default

Important: Factory resetting erases all configuration (network, name, recording rules). After resetting, you must re-add the camera in Alarm.com and redo network setup.

1. Press and hold the rear button for 15 seconds until the LED alternates red/green.
2. Release the button; wait for the camera to reboot (LED goes off, then white flash, then red/green).

Hold 15 sec → LED red/green → factory reset in progress

Wi-Fi Setup via WPS Enrollment

1. Hold the rear button for 5 seconds until the LED flashes blue—this enters WPS mode.
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router (or enable WPS in its settings).
3. Wait up to 2 minutes for LED to change:
   • Solid green: Paired and online—open Alarm.com to view live feed.
   • Solid red: Pairing failed—check SSID/WPS compatibility or use AP mode.

Wi-Fi Setup via Access Point

1. Hold the rear button for 6 seconds until the LED flashes white—camera starts its own SSID.
2. On your smartphone or PC, open Wi-Fi settings and join SSID ALARM (xx:xx:xx) (no password).
3. Open a web browser to 192.168.1.1. In the camera’s menu:
   • Tap SCAN FOR WI-FI NETWORKS.
   • Select your home SSID, enter Wi-Fi password, tap SAVE, then OK.
4. LED goes solid green when the camera successfully rejoins your network.

Flashing white = AP mode ready

Troubleshooting

• No Image:
  • Verify your 12 V DC adapter with a multimeter at the camera’s power jack (should read ~12 V).
  • Ensure the power cable is fully inserted and not damaged.
• Poor Night Vision:
  • Clean lens and IR window with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Ensure no bright lights or reflective surfaces in front of the camera.
• No Live View:
  • Confirm router firewall allows outbound TCP/UDP to Alarm.com servers.
  • Disable “guest network isolation” if enabled on your Wi-Fi network.
• Intermittent Connection:
  • Check Wi-Fi strength (≥ 70 %) using a phone-based Wi-Fi analyzer app near the camera location.
  • Relocate router or add a Wi-Fi extender for better coverage.
