PoE to Wi-Fi Bridge (ADC-W110) - Installation Guide
There are two local options for connecting the W110 to the wireless network: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Mode or
Access Point (AP) Mode.
Use WPS mode if you have easy access to the customer’s router, and the router has the WPS feature enabled. Note
that some Internet Service Providers disable the WPS feature on customer routers. AP mode is the most reliable
method for installing this device.
For information about how to reconnect a camera to a network, see
Reconnect a camera to a Wi-Fi network if the router,
network equipment, or wireless settings change
.
Note
:
The ADC-W110 is specifically designed for use with Alarm.com video cameras. Use with other devices is not
recommended.

Automatic account association
After connecting a camera to the W110 and installing the camera onto a customer's account, the W110 will automatically
add itself to the same account. If the camera is ever deleted off the customer's account, the W110 will delete itself as
well. The W110 will always be on the correct account, even if a new camera is plugged into the device without notice.
The W110 never needs to be manually added to or removed from an account. It will always be visible on the Partner
Portal under the appropriate attached camera.
Troubleshooting
1.
If the W110 has already been added to a wireless network (indicated by the W110 not entering AP mode after
powering on) and you want to change networks:
◦
To enter WPS mode, press and hold the
Communication
button until the Communication LED begins
blinking green (approximately 2 to 6 seconds). Follow the
WPS mode
instructions above.
◦
To enter AP mode, press and hold the
Communication
button until the Wi-Fi LED begins blinking white
(approximately 7 to 11 seconds). Follow the
AP mode
instructions above.
2.
If you have issues connecting the W110 to the wireless network, power cycle the device and try again. Verify
that
the wireless network is working properly and that you typed in the correct network password (SSID).
3.
If the issues persist, try resetting the W110 to factory defaults by holding down the
Communication
button for 12
seconds or until the Wi-Fi and Communication LEDs begin blinking red. Try the installation instructions again.
Caution
:
This will restore factory-default settings to the device. Any associated Wi-Fi networks will be removed.
