ADC-V523—Camera Not Communicating

Summary: Discover how to troubleshoot and reset the ADC-V523 indoor video camera to resolve communication problems and restore connectivity.

Causes of Camera Communication Issues

• Distance to the Wi-Fi signal source may exceed the maximum range limit.
• Physical materials, such as heavy concrete or thick metal walls, may block the signal.
• Electronic interference caused by devices emitting similar signals or consuming significant bandwidth.
• Changes to Wi-Fi settings, such as switching service providers or replacing a router, require reconnecting the camera to Wi-Fi.

Troubleshooting Cameras

• Address proximity issues by:
  • Moving the Wi-Fi router closer to the camera or vice versa.
  • Using a signal extender to bridge the gap.
• For dense materials obstructing the signal:
  • Reposition the camera to improve the signal path.
  • Use a signal extender if the obstruction cannot be mitigated.
• Resolve interference from new electronics by adjusting the placement of either the camera or interfering devices.
• Perform a full reset on the camera to reconnect it to Wi-Fi. See reset instructions below.

Camera Reset Instructions

1. Press and hold the WPS/Reset button until the LED flashes green and red (approximately 15 seconds), then release.
2. The camera will reboot to factory default settings.
3. If the camera was previously linked to an Alarm.com account, it must be removed from that account before reinstallation.
