Alarm.com ADC-VC8498PA Prism 8MP PoE Varifocal Dome Camera

The Alarm.com ADC-VC8498PA Prism 8MP PoE Varifocal Dome Camera delivers 3840 x 2160 surveillance video using a 1/1.8" Sony STARVIS 2 progressive CMOS sensor. Its adjustable 110.4° to 45.1° horizontal field of view, VividNight low-light imaging, and 131-foot infrared range provide flexible coverage for professional security installations.

Designed for businesses, entrances, retail areas, campuses, and other monitored environments, the camera combines a varifocal lens with 350° pan, 80° tilt, and 350° rotation adjustment. Full-duplex two-way audio uses the built-in microphone plus an optional accessory cable and external speaker, while compatible microSD media provides encrypted onboard recording up to 1.5 TB.

IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet carries power and network connectivity through one cable, simplifying deployment with compatible infrastructure. The enclosure carries IP66, IK10, and NEMA 4X protection ratings for demanding installations. Alarm.com also documents NDAA-approved hardware, while integration with its platform supports proactive audio response and optional AI Deterrence and Remote Video Monitoring services.
