The compact indoor camera that fixes the main complaint about its predecessor: dual-band Wi-Fi. The ADC-V515 was 2.4 GHz only, which in a modern house full of smart devices is where connections go to struggle. The V516 takes 2.4 or 5 GHz, and that single change removes a large share of indoor camera callbacks.

Built for the installer

1080p HDR with night vision to about 15 feet covers a typical room, and HDR is what keeps a face from being a silhouette against a bright window. Video Analytics classifies people, vehicles and animals on the camera, so the customer is not getting an alert every time a curtain moves or a pet crosses the room.

Recording is flexible: cloud clip storage, continuous local recording to an Alarm.com SVR, or Smart View onboard recording, with additional hardware required for the local options. Continuous Live View and two-way audio are supported.

Key features

  • Dual-band Wi-Fi on 2.4 and 5 GHz, the main upgrade over the 2.4-only ADC-V515
  • 1080p HDR so a face is not lost to silhouette against a bright window
  • Analytics classify people, vehicles and animals, cutting nuisance alerts
  • Three recording paths: cloud clips, SVR continuous, or Smart View onboard

  • Compact and affordable, which makes it the volume indoor camera on a multi-room job

System requirements

Requires 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi and an Alarm.com account with a compatible video plan. Local recording options require additional hardware: an Alarm.com SVR, or a microSD card for Smart View onboard recording. This model replaces the ADC-V515.

FAQs

What is the difference between the ADC-V516 and the ADC-V515?
The main change is Wi-Fi. The ADC-V515 supports 2.4 GHz only. The ADC-V516 supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz, which is a far more reliable connection in a busy wireless environment.
Does this camera record continuously?
It can. Options are cloud-based clip storage, continuous local recording to an Alarm.com Stream Video Recorder, or Smart View onboard recording. The local options need additional hardware.
Will it alert on pets?
Alarm.com Video Analytics classifies people, vehicles and animals, so notification rules can be set to alert on people only and ignore animal activity.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
No. The ADC-V516 is an indoor camera. For outdoor positions use a weather-rated model such as the ADC-V730 or ADC-VC730P.
