Alarm.com ADC-VC8295P-PVT

The Alarm.com ADC-VC8295P-PVT is a compact, professional-grade PoE dome camera designed for installations that require dependable performance in a smaller form factor. It records video at up to 2560 × 1920 resolution, delivering clear 5MP image quality that provides more detail than standard 1080p cameras while keeping bandwidth usage lower than 4K models.

This model uses a fixed lens, providing a consistent and predictable field of view without the need for ongoing adjustment. Fixed-lens cameras are often preferred in long-term deployments because they reduce installation complexity and eliminate the risk of focus drift or accidental lens movement. For installations that require adjustable framing during setup, Alarm.com also offers the ADC-VC8295PA varifocal compact dome camera, which allows the field of view to be controlled by remote zoom.

The ADC-VC8295P-PVT is powered using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation and improves reliability compared to battery-powered or Wi-Fi-based cameras. For multi-camera installations, the camera can be connected to a compatible PoE switch, enabling centralized power and network management.

The camera supports High Dynamic Range (HDR), which helps balance bright and dark areas within the same image. This improves visibility in environments with mixed lighting, such as entryways with direct sunlight, shaded areas, or interior-to-exterior transitions. Integrated infrared night vision allows the ADC-VC8295P-PVT to capture usable video in complete darkness, ensuring around-the-clock monitoring.

The ADC-VC8295P-PVT integrates directly with the Alarm.com platform and supports advanced event detection when paired with an appropriate video service plan. These features help filter out unnecessary alerts so users can focus on meaningful activity. Alarm Grid explains these capabilities in more detail here: What Are Alarm.com Video Analytics?.

Designed for indoor and outdoor use, the ADC-VC8295P-PVT features a durable enclosure rated IP66 for protection against dust and water. Its compact dome design makes it a strong choice for locations where a low-profile appearance is preferred without sacrificing image quality or system reliability.
