2Chapter 2Basic SetupThis Chapter provides details of installing and configuring the IPCamera.InstallationFigure 3: Wired Network Connection1. Make the ConnectionUsing a Wired ConnectionIf you are using a wired connection to the MDC835, connecta standard Ethernet cable (not included) to the LAN portof the supplied cable of the camera and the Pulse Gatewayor Total Security (TS) Base panel.Using a Wireless ConnectionThe wireless (WPS) connection between the camera and thePulse Gateway or Total Security (TS) Base panel isperformed during the Pulse enrollment. See the followingsection for more details.5

Chapter 2 Basic SetupNOTE: The Wireless and LAN interfaces cannot be usedsimultaneously. Making a wired LAN connection disables theNOTEwireless interface.2. Power Upa. Run the AC Wire to the spice connector.b. Screw the red wire onto the positive( ) terminal of theterminal adapter.c.Screw the black wire onto the negative(-) terminalof the terminal adapter.d. Plug the terminal adapter into a power outlet.CAUTION: Only use the terminal adapter provided. Using adifferent adapter may cause hardware damage.3. Check the LEDThe Power LED will turn on briefly, and then start blinking.It will blink during startup, which will take 60 to 90seconds. After startup is completed, the Power LED shouldremain ON.4. Enroll the Camera in ADT PulseThis process is described in the later chapter.After the enrollment, please check the image orientation.You may rotate the image 180 degrees by fast-clicking theWPS/Reset/Image Flip button twice.5. Mount the CameraPlace the camera in a desired location near a power source.For mounting on the ceiling with the mounting plate, seeChapter 4 for more details.Mounting SuggestionTo get the best video quality for targets at night, make surethat the camera’s field of view does not include a foregroundobject, such as side wall or roof. Once installing on aceiling, angle the camera so that a minimal portion of thewall is visible.6
