Introduction
This section provides information about the OC835-ADT Outdoor Day/Night HD
Camera's features, components and capabilities.
Overview
The OC835-ADT is a true outdoor day/night wireless camera with HD resolution,
802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity and Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) support. This
camera is intended for use with ADT Pulse®.
Features
•Standalone Design. The camera is a standalone system with 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 OC835-ADT supports H.264 and MJEPG video
compression.
•Day/Night Switch: With the day/night switching feature, you can view and
record images even at night.
•IR LED Support. The infrared LED can provide illumination for up to 6 meters,
providing superior video quality under low-light conditions such as on cloudy
days, or in the early morning or evening.
•PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) Support. The embedded PIR Sensor senses
infrared light radiating from human bodies in its field of view.
•Built-in Heater. The built-in heater ensures that the camera will continue to
operate even in extremely cold outdoor climates. The heater turns on when
the temperature falls below 42°F (6°C).

Chapter 1 Introduction
WPS/Reset Button
This button serves two functions on the camera.
•WPS Pin Code Mode. When pressed and held for
5 seconds during the Pulse enrollment process, the
camera creates an encryption-secured wireless
connection.
•Reset. When pressed and held over 15 seconds,
the camera reboots and the settings are restored to
default values.
Network Port
Use a Micro USB to RJ-45 Adapter Cable (not included)
and a standard Ethernet cable (not included) to connect
the camera to the Pulse Gateway or TS Base panel.
Note:
•Plugging in the Micro USB to RJ-45 Adapter Cable
will disable the wireless interface. Only one
interface can be active at any time.
•The Micro USB to RJ-45 Adapter Cable should only
be connected or disconnected when the camera is
powered OFF. Attaching or detaching the Micro
USB to RJ-45 Adapter Cable while the camera is
powered on does NOT switch the interface
between wired and wireless.

Basic Setup
This section provides information on how to assemble and configure
the OC835-ADT Outdoor HD Camera.
Installation
1. Assemble the Camera
Attach the Camera Stand to the camera.
2. Make the Connection
Using a Wired Connection
If you are using a wired connection to the OC835-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: Wired Network Connection
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 15.
Note: The Wireless and LAN interfaces cannot be used
simultaneously. Making a wired LAN connection disables the
wireless interface.
