1Introduction
This section provides information about the OC845 Outdoor Day/Night FHD
Camera's features, components and capabilities.
1.1 Feature Overview
The OC845 is an Outdoor day/night camera with FHD resolution and 802.11ac
Wi-Fi connectivity intended for use with both ADT Control® and Pulse®.
•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
network (Customer router for Control or ADT Pulse gateway).
•Dual Video Support. The OC845 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 two infrared LEDs can provide illumination for up to 5
meters/16 feet, providing superior video quality under low-light conditions.
•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).
•802.11ac Support. The 802.11ac standard provides backward
compatibility with the 802.11b, g and n standards.
•Supports both Soft AP and WPS. Soft AP connectivity is used on the Control
platform. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) uses a push button to connect to the
Pulse platform.
•Wireless Network. The OC845 is connected to the network wirelessly.
•Two-Way Audio. The OC845 has a speaker and microphone for two-way
conversations and echo cancellation.

-Please refer to Section 5: Wall Mounting
5Wall Mounting
This section provides details for final mounting of the OC845 Outdoor FHD
Camera. You should ensure that the camera is configured and enrolled in the
platform before permanently mounting it.
•Locate an unused, non-switchable, indoor outlet to plug the AC/DC Power
Adapter into. This outlet should be located as close as possible to the
location where the camera will be permanently mounted.
Caution: Do not plug in the power adapter until all the connections
are completed and the camera is fully mounted.
•Run the supplied power cable from the outdoor location where the camera
will be mounted to the power outlet.
•At the location where the camera will be mounted, unscrew the camera
stand and remove it from the camera.
•Hold the stand at the location where you would like to mount the camera
and mark the location of the two mounting holes.
•Drill two holes on the mounting surface at the marked location.
•If using the anchors, insert them into the mounting holes.
•Align the two mounting holes on the camera stand with the two holes and
mount the stand to the surface using the two supplied screws.
•Attach and screw the camera onto the camera stand.

•Connect the power cable into the back of the camera.
•Insert the grommet between the camera and the power input cover.
Caution: Ensure that the grommet is positioned properly to
prevent water from entering the camera power input.
•At the location of the power source, connect the power cable to the power
adapter:
•Screw the red wire onto the positive (+) terminal of the power adapter, on
the left side.
•Screw the black wire onto the negative (–) terminal of the power adapter,
on the right side.
•Adjust the camera to the desired position and secure it firmly.
•Verify that the camera is active on the wireless network and is recognized
by the platform.
Caution: To avoid damaging the camera, be sure to observe proper
polarity. Although the + and –terminals are marked on the power
adapter, they are white on white and may be difficult to see.

•Remove the retaining screw from the receptacle plate and plug the power
adapter into the lower power outlet.
•Insert the retaining screw through the opening at the top of the power
adapter and reinstall it into the receptacle, securing the adapter to the wall.
•Adjust the camera to a desired position and secure it firmly.
•Verify that the camera is active on the wireless network and is recognized
by the platform.
5.1 Smart IR and 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,
side wall or column. If installing on a tabletop, place the camera as close to
the edge as possible. If installing on a wall, angle the camera so that a
minimal portion of the wall or column is visible, as demonstrated in the
photos in row 2 below.

The OC845 uses a smart IR function for night viewing. This means that the
camera automatically adjusts the IR light output and gain. As a result, if any
objects are in the close foreground of the image, the camera lowers the IR
light output to prevent overexposing those objects. The drawback of the
smart IR function is that this feature causes background objects to receive
less IR light and to be displayed with lessened detail. This result is typical for
the smart IR function
6Troubleshooting
This section provides details for troubleshooting wireless
connection issues of the OC845 Outdoor Day/Night FHD Camera.
6.1 If the Camera Continually Goes Offline
If after it is enrolled the camera continually goes offline (LED blinks green
continually), the camera will automatically attempt to recover the wireless
connection. If the camera cannot recover on its own, take the following
measures to re-establish the Wi-Fi connection.
•Power cycle the camera.
•If the previous measure fails, power cycle the gateway.
•If the previous measure fails, move the gateway closer to the camera, if
possible.
•If the previous measure fails, press the camera’s reset button for 15
seconds, and then re-enroll the camera into the platform.
•If the previous measure fails, install a Wi-Fi Range Extender
