turn solid green when the wireless connection is successful.)
5. Enroll the Camera in ADT Pulse
This process is described in the next chapter, ADT Pulse Enrollment.
6. Mount the Camera
Place the camera in its final permanent location near a power source.
For mounting on a wall using the mounting plate, see Chapter 4 Wall
Mounting.
SD Card Slot (Future Enhancement)
On the side of the camera is a small plate held in place with a retaining
screw. Beneath this cover is a SD card slot that will be used in a future
software release.
Note: As the SD card slot is not functional at this time, please do not

gateway via the ADT Pulse Portal or TS Installer App.
Using WPS with PIN to Enroll the Camera
1. Set up the camera, as described in Chapter 2.
2. Launch an Internet browser and log in to the Pulse portal or TS installer
app.
3. Enter the Manage Devices screen using one of these methods:
• For the Pulse portal, select the System tab and click Manage
Devices.
• For the TS installer app, click the Pulse Devices link.
The Manage Devices screen displays.
4. In the Manage Devices screen, click Cameras.
5. Click the Add Using WPS button at the bottom of the screen.

TABLETOP
WALL
Smart IR Function
The RC8326 uses a smart IR function for night viewing. This means that
the camera automatically adjusts the IR light output and gain. As a result, if
any objects are in the close foreground of the image, the camera lowers the
IR light output to prevent overexposing those objects. The drawback of the
smart IR function is that this feature causes background objects to receive
less IR light and to be displayed with lessened detail. This result is typical for
the smart IR function.
To get the best video quality for targets at night, make sure that the
camera’s field of view does not include a large foreground object, such as
tabletop or side wall. If installing on a tabletop, place the camera as close to
the edge as possible, as demonstrated in the photos in row 1 below. If
installing on a wall, angle the camera so that a minimal portion of the wall is
visible, as demonstrated in the photos in row 2 below.
If the Camera Continually Goes Offline
If after enrolling it the camera, it continually goes offline (Power LED blinks
continually), the camera will automatically attempt to recover the wireless
connection. If the camera cannot recover on its own, take the following
measures to re-establish the Wi-Fi connection.
1. Power cycle the camera.
2. If the previous measure fails, move the gateway closer to the camera.
3. If the previous measure fails, press the camera’s reset button for 15
seconds, and then re-enroll the camera into Pulse.
4. If the previous measure fails, install a Wi-Fi Range Extender model
WN3000RPH-2ADPAS.

2. Hold the mounting plate at the location where you would like to mount
the camera and mark the location of the two mounting holes.
3. Drill two pilot holes on the mounting surface at the marked locations.
4. Align the two mounting holes on the camera stand with the two pilot
holes, and mount the mounting plate to the surface using the two
screws supplied.
