1 Introduction
This section provides information about the RC845 Indoor Day/Night HD
Camera's features, components and capabilities.
Overview
The RC845 is an indoor day/night wireless camera with HD resolution and
802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity intended for use with both ADT Control® and 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
network (Customer router for Control or ADT Pulse gateway).
• Dual Video Support. The RC845 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.
• 802.11ac/n Support. The 802.11ac/n standard provides backward
compatibility with the 802.11b and g 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 RC845 is connected to the network wirelessly.
