In this video, Joe from Alarm Grid explains how to reset an Alarm.com ADC-V723 Outdoor Security Camera to its factory default settings. Performing a factory default is usually only done in very rare situations. The situations include if you are selling the camera, or as a final troubleshooting step.

When you perform a factory default on an Alarm.com ADC-V723 Camera, you are resetting the camera settings to how they are set when the camera leaves the factory. When you go to use the camera, it will be as though you are using it for the first time ever. If you had the camera paired with an Alarm.com account, then you will need to complete the pairing process again. You will also need to reconnect the camera with a WIFI network.

Factory resetting an ADC-V723 Camera is not something you should need to regularly perform on the device. Typically, you will only reset the camera if you are giving up ownership, or if no other troubleshooting step has fixed the camera. Users who want to sell or give away the camera may perform a factory default so that the new user can start fresh with factory default settings. Additionally, default the device may be performed as a troubleshooting technique if no other method has fixed the camera.

Performing a factory reset on an Alarm.com ADC-V723 Camera is quite simple. Simply press and hold the reset/WPS button for the device until the LED light on the camera flashes red and green. You can then release the button. The camera will go through its factory reset process. It is recommended that you leave the device plugged in and undisturbed for the next two (2) minutes. After performing the factory reset, you will need to re-pair the device to your Alarm.com account. Or the camera can be paired to a different Alarm.com account if needed.

[SOUND EFFECTS] Hi, DIYers. Joey from Alarm Grid. And today we're going to talk about how to factory reset the ADC-V723. Now all Alarm.com cameras are able to be factory reset. And they all have a similar process to do that. But before you do factory reset another camera, check the installation manual just to make sure that you know how you're doing it to save yourself some time and frustration. The ADC-V723 has a very easy process to factory reset. Really, you just have to hold this button down here until the red and green light start flashing on the front of the camera. When you see that, you know the camera's going through its factory reset. And it's going to clear all of its information out. Factory resetting an alarm.com camera is going to completely reset it back to its factory condition, which means that it's also going to have to get rejoined to an alarm.com account if you want to continue to use it. It's a good idea to do a factory set before you sell your camera to just blank it out and have it fresh and ready for the new owner. Factory resets, though, on these cameras, you want it to be your last troubleshooting step if you're trying to fix it. Let's say something's going on with it, it's not working the way exactly that you want it to work, and you think something is wrong that a reset might do, the first thing you want to do is contact your alarm or security company to take a look at the camera on their back end as they're going to have access to the alarm.com platform. And the platform shows a whole bunch of information. Perhaps, the camera just needs to have a [? firmware ?] update done on it. Maybe there's a setting that needs to be configured a little differently to get it to work in the way you want it to. Or it might be working, and you just don't know that there's some features enabled on the system for the camera. It's always good to check all these things before doing your factory reset because when you do the factory reset, you're going to have to go back through and rolling it to your alarm.com video plan, setting up all the parameters on the camera, and getting it working just the way you want it to work. Another thing that I will do is it's going to drop all the video analytic settings on the camera. So if you've done any of your boundary placement or adjusted any of the settings for that, you're going to have to reconfigure all of that, too. Just make sure that before you do do the factory reset, that you've exhausted all other avenues for troubleshooting for the camera. It's going to save you some time and trouble. Anyways, let's go through actually factory resetting it. I don't have this plugged in right now. But I'm going to. And I'll show you the light. Boom, and we're plugged in. Now, right here on the front of the camera, this is the LED that I was talking about. This is what's going to change color. When I hold the reset button, it's going to go through a couple of different colors before it actually does the red and green flashing. And we'll look at that now. So this white light right now it's telling us that it's in Wi-Fi access mode. So I'm going to go ahead and hold down the Reset button right there, or the WPS button, whatever you want to call it. Now we're in blue, which means it's in WPS mode, white Wi-Fi access mode, red and green. Now, it's going through its factory reset. So it's really, really easy to do. This button on this camera is this little guy right here. And it's the only button on the whole camera. So you can't mistake it.
