AP mode Installation guide
Access Point (AP) mode allows for devices to be added to a secure home wireless network by connecting to the camera’s temporary access point using a Wi-Fi enabled device.

AP mode installation steps

Activate AP mode on the camera:

  1. Connect the camera’s AC adapter and plug it into a non-switched outlet. The camera’s LED illuminates red while it is booting up. If the standard power supply is too short to reach an outlet, see How do I extend the power supply of a  camera?.
  2. Wait for the camera to finish its startup process. This should take approximately 2 minutes for most Alarm.com video cameras.
  3. Press and hold the camera’s WPS button for 5 to 7 seconds. Release the button immediately after the camera’s LED starts to flash white. For more information about the typical LED status indicators for Alarm.com video devices, see What does my camera’s LED light mean?.

Note: While holding the button, a blue LED flashes to indicate WPS mode, then a white LED flashes to indicate AP mode.

Connect the camera to the Wi-Fi network:

  1. Using a computer, smartphone, or tablet, connect to the Wi-Fi network named ALARM (##:##:##). The numbers in parentheses are the last six digits of the camera’s MAC address.
  2. On the same device, open a web browser and enter the web address for the video device being connected (e.g., http://v723install or http://522irinstall) or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. Follow the on-screen instructions to add the camera to the Wi-Fi network. The user interface and steps vary between video devices.
