A dedicated wireless network for the security devices, separate from whatever the customer has running their home or office. That separation is the point: the cameras stop competing with streaming and laptops for airtime, and they stop dropping every time somebody changes the router.
Built for the installer
Camera Wi-Fi complaints are rarely the camera. They are a congested 2.4 GHz band, a router that reboots nightly, or a customer who changed their ISP and nobody reconnected the devices. Putting the security hardware on a gateway you control removes all three as failure modes, and it means a broadband change does not become a service call for every camera on site.
Alarm.com specifically recommends connecting Wi-Fi cameras to an ADC-SG130 when they are used with a CSVR, and it is one of the supported host devices for the ADC-VDB780B wireless doorbell. Tabletop form factor, powered from a 12V DC adapter.

System requirements
