1 Introduction
This section provides information about the MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome
Camera's features, components and capabilities.
1.1 Feature Overview
The MDC845 is a Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera with FHD resolution and 802.11ac WiFi connectivity intended for use with both ADT Control
• Standalone Design. The camera is a standalone system with built-in CPU
and video encoder. It requires only a power source and a connection to the
network (customer router for Control
• Dual Video Support. The MDC845 supports H.264 and MJEPG video
compression.
• Day/Night Switch. With the day/night switching feature, you can view and
record images even at night.
• IR LED Support. The two infrared (IR) LEDs can provide illumination for up to
5 meters/16 feet, providing superior video quality under low-light conditions.
or ADT Pulse gateway).

and Pulse®.
• Built-in Heater. The built-in heater ensures that the camera operates even
in extremely cold climates. The heater turns on when the temperature falls
below -4°F (-20°C).
• 802.11ac Support. The 802.11ac standard provides backward
compatibility with the 802.11 a/b/g/n standards.
• Supports Soft AP, WPS PIN, and Wired Enrollment. Software-enabled
Access Point (Soft AP) connectivity is used on the Control platform. Wi-Fi
Protected Setup PIN (WPS PIN) uses a push button and PIN to connect to
the Pulse platform. Both platforms support wired enrollment.
• Wireless and Wired Operation. The MDC845 operates either wired or wirelessly.

2 Basic Setup
This section provides information on how to assemble and configure the
MDC845 FHD Wi-Fi Mini Dome Camera for enrollment.
2.1 Assembling the Camera
• Use the L tool to remove the three retaining screws and bubble
Note: Leave the bubble detached
for later access to the WPS
button and for ceiling
mounting.

Quick Installation Guide
• While the MDC845 is water resistant, it is must to limit direct exposure to
rain.
• Install the MDC845 under a building overhang to ensure the least amount
of exposure to the elements.
• The camera is only to be connected to PoE networks without routing to
outside plants.
2.2 Power Up
• The green terminal block separates into two sides (male / female). Insert
the red and black flying leads from the camera’s power cord into the female
side of the terminal block (see figure below). Secure both wires by
tightening the screws on the terminal block.
• Similarly, secure both wires from one end of the power cable (not included)
into the male side of the terminal block, ensuring that like-colored wires
(red and black) are aligned with those just installed.
• Secure both wires from the other end of the power cable onto the
appropriate (+ and –) screw terminals of the power adapter.
• Plug the power adapter into an AC power outlet.
Caution: Use the power adapter provided. Using a different
power adapter may result in hardware damage.

Caution: To avoid damaging the camera, be sure to observe proper
polarity. Although the + and – terminals are marked on the power
adapter, they are white on white and may be difficult to see.
2.3 Final Steps
• Check LED status
- The LED lights up solid blue and then blinks ten times during
startup, which takes about 30 seconds. After startup is completed,
and prior to enrollment, the power LED blinks green/amber.
• Network connections
- If you are using a wired connection to the MDC845, prior to
powering up, connect a standard Ethernet cable (not included)
from the LAN port of the camera cable to either the device LAN
port on the Pulse Gateway or directly to the customer’s router for
Control.
- If you are using a wireless connection to the MDC845, this step is
performed during enrollment.
