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
xStandalone 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.
xDual Video Support. The OC835-ADT supports H.264 and MJEPG video
compression.
xDay/Night Switch: With the day/night switching feature, you can view and
record images even at night.
xIR 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.
xPIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) Support. The embedded PIR Sensor senses
infrared light radiating from human bodies in its field of view.
xBuilt-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 42qF (6qC).
Wireless Features
xSupports 802.11n Wireless Standard. The 802.11n standard provides
backward compatibility with the 802.11b and g standards.
xSupports 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.
xWired and Wireless Network. The OC835-ADT can be connected to the
Pulse network wirelessly. It can also be hardwired to the network.

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 13.
NOTE:
The Wireless and LAN interfaces cannot be used
simultaneously. Making a wired LAN connection disables the
wireless interface.
3. Power Up
Connect the supplied 12V power adapter to the camera and power up. Use
only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware
damage.

continue to blink during startup, which takes about one minute. After startup is
completed, the Power LED should remain ON.)
4. Check the LEDs
xPower LED. At power up, the Power LED turns on briefly, and then starts
blinking, which takes about one minute. After startup has completed, the
Power LED remains on.
xNetwork/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 21.
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. If installing on a wall, angle the camera so that a minimal portion of
the wall is visible.
