SKU:
ADC-VC8498PA

Prism Series is Alarm.com for Business's next-generation camera line, built for the kind of clarity and reliability that keeps commercial accounts from generating callbacks. The 8MP Varifocal Dome (ADC-VC8498PA) captures Ultra HD detail across a single PoE drop, and VividNight low-light technology holds usable color at sub-lux levels where older cameras fall back to black and white.

Why Installers Spec the ADC-VC8498PA

  • Prism Series 8MP Ultra HD with VividNight low-light color performance
  • Motorized varifocal covers wide-area and telephoto jobs from the same SKU
  • Proactive deterrence with Remote Video Monitoring and AI Deterrence (service add-ons)
  • Full-duplex two-way audio with built-in mic; line-level I/O via optional AO-15 accessory cable
  • One-touch enrollment on existing Alarm.com for Business accounts
  • NDAA-approved hardware, IP66 / IK10 / NEMA 4X rated for outdoor commercial mounts

Proactive Deterrence, Native to Alarm.com

Prism is the first camera line Alarm.com built specifically to support Remote Video Monitoring (RVM) and AI Deterrence (AID) without separate hardware. Central stations can engage incidents in real time, before they escalate into a claim. Both features are service add-ons enabled at the Alarm.com for Business account level.

Built for Outdoor Commercial Sites

IP66, IK10, and NEMA 4X mean the housing survives outdoor parking-lot mounts, loading docks, and the occasional bumped ladder. The metal body handles -31°F outdoor cold without enclosure heaters, and the motorized varifocal lens lets the installer dial in the FOV without a return trip.
