Introduction
This section provides information about the RC8325-ADT Wireless HD
Camera's features, components and capabilities.
Overview
The RC8325-ADT is a true 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 wireless HD 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 RC8325-ADT supports H.264 and MJEPG video
compression.
Wireless Features
•Supports 802.11n Wireless Standard. The 802.11n standard provides
backward compatibility with the 802.11b and g standards.
•Supports WPS. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) can simplify the process of
connecting the wireless HD camera to the wireless network by using the push
button configuration.
•Wired and Wireless Network. The RC8325-ADT can be connected to the
Pulse network wirelessly. It can also be hardwired to the network using the
Micro USB to RJ-45 Adapter Cable (not included) and a standard Ethernet
cable (not included).

Chapter 2
Basic Setup
This section provides information on how to assemble and configure
the RC8325-ADT Wireless HD Camera.
Installation
1. Assemble the Camera
Attach the Camera Stand to the camera.
2. Power Up
Connect the supplied 12V power adapter to the HD camera and power up.
Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause
hardware damage.
CAUTION: Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different
one can result in hardware damage.
The Power LED turns on briefly, and then starts blinking. (The Power LED will
continue to blink during startup, which takes about one minute. After startup is
completed, the Power LED should remain ON.)
2. Make the Connection
Using a Wired Connection
If you are using a wired connection to the RC8325-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: Wire Connections

RC8325-ADT Wireless Day/Night HD Camera Installation Guide 7

Chapter 2 Basic Setup
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 12.
NOTE: The Wireless and LAN interfaces cannot be used
simultaneously. Making a wired LAN connection disables the
wireless interface.
4. Check the LEDs
•Power LED. At power up, the Power LED turns on briefly, and then starts
blinking. It blinks during startup, which takes about one minute. After
startup has completed, the Power LED remains on.
•Network/WPS LED. At power up, the Network/WPS LED is off.
(The Network/WPS LED will flash amber when the camera attempts to
connect wirelessly to the Pulse Gateway / TS Base. The Network/WPS
LED will turn solid green when the wireless connection is successful.)
5. Enroll the Camera in ADT Pulse
This process is described in the next chapter, ADT Pulse Enrollment.
6. Mount the Camera
Place the camera in a location near a power source. For mounting on a wall
using the mounting plate, see Chapter 4 Wall Mounting on page 17.
Mounting Suggestion
To get the best video quality for targets at night, make sure that the camera’s
field of view does not include a large foreground object, such as tabletop or
side wall. If installing on a tabletop, place the camera as close to the edge as
possible, as demonstrated in the photos in row 1 below. If installing on a wall,
angle the camera so that a minimal portion of the wall is visible, as
demonstrated in the photos in row 2 below.
