The Alarm.com ADC-VC726 is an outdoor mini bullet camera that is built for use with the Alarm.com platform. The camera offers a discreet, compact design, as well as 1080p recording capabilities. The camera has an IP67 weatherproof rating, which makes it suitable for use in an outdoor environment. The camera utilizes power over ethernet (PoE) technology for power. An ethernet connection is required, as the camera is incapable of connecting with a WIFI network. Overall, the ADC-VC726 is a great camera, especially for use in a commercial setting. That is why we give it a 5-Star rating.
There are many positive aspects regarding the Alarm.com ADC-VC726. For one, it offers fantastic 1080p recording quality. The camera is only 6.1" long and 2.76" wide, making it very discreet and easy to hide in tight spaces if needed. The fact that this camera uses PoE technology for power is nice, because you only need to run one single wire for both network and power. We also like the fact that the camera as an IP67 weatherproof rating for outdoor use. It can withstand virtually any outdoor temperature, which adds upon its great versatility. And the ADC-VC726 has tremendous IR night vision capabilities, as it is rated for capturing activity from up to 95 feet away in the dark.
There are not many downsides to the Alarm.com ADC-VC726. One issue is that the camera must use ethernet connectivity for accessing an IP network. In other words, the camera cannot connect directly with a WIFI network. This is relatively common for commercial-grade cameras, but it is still a limitation nonetheless. However, you can overcome this issue by using a compatible ethernet to WIFI bridge with PoE capabilities, such as the Alarm.com ADC-W110. One other issue with the Alarm.com ADC-VC726 is that it can only be used with Alarm.com. You cannot use it with a different platform, such as Total Connect 2.0. But overall, these downsides are relatively minor, and they do not stop us from awarding the Alarm.com ADC-VC726 with a perfect 5-Star score.
Good: 1080p, Compact Size, PoE, IP67 Weatherproof, IR Night Vision
Bad: Cannot Connect Directly to WIFI, For Alarm.com Only
Bottom Line: 5 Stars
