ADC-VC7398PA

Prism Series is Alarm.com for Business's next-generation camera line, built for the clarity and reliability that keeps commercial accounts from generating callbacks. The 8MP Varifocal Bullet (ADC-VC7398PA) is the perimeter and approach workhorse of the Prism lineup — capturing Ultra HD detail across a single PoE drop with VividNight low-light color that holds usable footage where older cameras fall back to black and white.

Built for commercial perimeter and approach

NDAA-approved hardware keeps this camera eligible for federal, state, and AHJ-restricted contracts. IP66, IK10, and IP67 ratings cover parking-lot poles, building corners, and loading-dock canopies. The metal housing runs from -31°F to 140°F without enclosure heaters, and 40m IR carries detail across long approach runs. Commissioning is a barcode scan — the camera ships pre-provisioned for Alarm.com for Business enrollment on the dealer's existing account.

Key features

  • 8MP Ultra HD with VividNight: Sony STARVIS 2 CMOS holds true-to-life color in low light without switching to black-and-white IR wash
  • Motorized varifocal lens: adjustable field of view covers wide-area perimeter and telephoto approach jobs from a single SKU
  • Proactive deterrence: supports Remote Video Monitoring and AI Deterrence for real-time incident intervention (separate Alarm.com add-ons required)
  • Two-Way Audio: full-duplex built-in microphone for live operator response; external audio and digital I/O via optional AO-015 accessory cable
  • NDAA-approved, IP66 / IK10 / IP67: eligible for restricted contracts and rated for demanding outdoor mounts
  • One-touch enrollment: pre-provisioned for Alarm.com for Business — barcode scan on existing dealer account

Is the ADC-VC7398PA NDAA-compliant?
Yes. The ADC-VC7398PA is NDAA-approved under Section 889, making it eligible for federal, state, and locally-restricted government contracts where non-compliant camera hardware is prohibited.
Does this camera support Remote Video Monitoring and AI Deterrence?
Yes, with separate Alarm.com for Business service add-ons. Hardware supports RVM and AI Deterrence, but these features require corresponding Alarm.com service plans — not included in the camera purchase.
Does the built-in microphone handle Two-Way Audio on its own?
The camera includes a built-in full-duplex microphone for live operator audio. For external audio input or digital I/O (e.g., connecting an external speaker or relay), the optional AO-015 accessory cable is required.
What PoE standard does this camera require?
IEEE 802.3af. Power draw is 12.4W max with IR on and 9.6W with IR off. A standard PoE switch port or injector is sufficient — PoE+ is not required.
Does this camera work with non-Alarm.com VMS platforms?
No. The ADC-VC7398PA is purpose-built for Alarm.com for Business and ships pre-provisioned for that platform. It is not a general-purpose ONVIF camera. Contact SS&Si for open-platform bullet camera options.
