There are a few simple things you can do to get your ADC-522IR indoor camera back to working to protect your home. Follow the below steps to get your camera online again.

Reconnecting to WiFi:

1. Locate the WPS button on your WiFi router.

  • There should be a button labeled WPS or an icon of two arrows or a lock on the router.

2. Locate the WPS button on the camera.

  • On most camera models, it is labeled WPS or Reset.
  • On the ADC-522IR, the button is next to the Ethernet connector on the back of the camera.

3. Hold to the WPS button for 2-3 seconds, until the LED flashes blue, to put the camera into WPS mode.

4. Press the WPS button on the router for 1-6 seconds to put your router in WPS mode.

  • Typically, a light flashes on the router to tell you it's in WPS mode.
  • If there is no light or there is a red blinking light, the WPS might be disabled on your router.
    • You can confirm that your router is WPS enabled by checking the bottom of your router. If you see a WPS pin, your router does have WPS. You can also log into your router management tool to verify if your router is WPS enabled.

5. Wait 2 minutes to allow the camera and router to discover each other.

6. The camera LED will change from flashing blue to flashing green, to red. Wait for the LED to stay one color, blinking or static, for a few minutes before continuing.

7. Once the LED is steady, refer to the below table for troubleshooting steps based on the LED color on your camera.

Light Color and Pattern Function Troubleshooting

Flashing green The camera is communicating with the router but does not have a solid internet connection.
  1. Verify the router’s WPS button is enabled and has an active internet connection. Try using another device to check the internet connection on your phone or computer.
  2. After verifying the connection, remove power from the camera for a few seconds and wait for the camera to reboot.
  3. If it is still flashing green, power your router down for at least one minute, then restore power.
  4. Wait until your internet connection is re-established before attempting to connect to the camera again.

  1. Attempt the troubleshooting steps for the flashing green light, but first verify the router has WPS enabled by checking the settings on your router. You can see how to do that in #4 of the flashing green light section above.
  2. If another WPS attempt is unsuccessful, try another method of reconnecting the camera to a wireless network (links in the current article). Your router’s guide can help locate where to check for this setting.
  3. If the router is verified to have WPS enabled, your camera may be too far away from the router for the WPS to take effect.
