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.

Key features

  • Dedicated wireless network for security devices, removing contention with the customer's own traffic

  • Recommended by Alarm.com for Wi-Fi cameras used with a CSVR

  • Tabletop form factor that can be positioned for coverage rather than hidden in a cupboard

System requirements

FAQs

Why put cameras on a separate gateway?
It removes contention with the customer's own traffic and insulates the devices from router reboots and broadband changes. Most Wi-Fi camera complaints are network problems rather than camera faults.
Is this recommended when using Wi-Fi cameras with a CSVR?
Yes. Alarm.com recommends connecting Wi-Fi cameras to an ADC-SG130 downstream of the CSVR, or to a high-performance access point upstream of it, for best results.
Can it host the ADC-VDB780B wireless doorbell?
Yes. The ADC-SG130 is one of the supported host devices for the ADC-VDB780B, along with the ADC-W115C Smart Chime, IQ Panel 4, IQ Panel 4 Hub, IQ 4 NS and Qolsys IQ WiFi 6.
