Alarm.com introduces a new floodlight and 4MP camera. The ADC-V729AC connects to 110V AC wiring, the ADC-V729 plugs into a standard outlet, and the ADC-VC729P offers PoE. The floodlight delivers a bright 3,000 Lumens while the camera offers onboard recording, PIR motion sensing, and more.
Alarm.com continues to raise the standard for video solutions in residential and small to medium commercial spaces. Consistently rolling out innovative and sought-after products, their latest ADC-V729 series floodlight and video camera combo fills a crucial gap in the market.
With a variety of options to power the unit, the ADC-V729 series can solve nearly any outdoor monitoring and viewing need. By combining PIR motion sensing with Alarm.com video analytics, onboard recording, and a bright pair of floodlights, you can protect even the darkest corners of your property.
Since there are three (3) different versions of this new device, there are three different sets of specifications. Be sure to pay attention to the correct documentation for the product you intend to use. The specifications for all versions are included in a single specification sheet located here. In the table below, we’ll include the specifications that are common to all three (3) versions.

| Product SKU and Link | Description |
|---|---|
| ADC-V729 | Floodlight and 4MP Camera that uses 24 VDC Plug-in power supply (included). |
| ADC-V729AC | Floodlight and 4MP Camera that uses hardwired 100 – 240 VAC. |
| ADC-VC729P | Floodlight and 4MP Camera capable of using PoE++ or 24 VDC plug-in transformer. |
| ADC-VC729P-BNDL | Bundle comprised of ADC-VC729P and TL-PoE170S PoE++ injector for power. |
| ADC-PSU-24V2A | Replacement power supply for ADC-V729DC. It can also be used to power ADC-VC729P when PoE++ is not available. |
| ADC-VPE-729DC | 19′ (5.79m) extension cable for ADC-V729DC and ADC-VC729P power connection. |
The ADC-VC729P can be powered using PoE++ (802.3bt), as shown in the middle table above. This is particularly important because the earlier PoE standards (IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at) do not provide enough power for this device. Only a PoE device that supports IEEE 802.3bt can deliver the required current. Since these devices use all eight (8) pins on the RJ45 connector, make sure you use cabling that includes all four (4) wire pairs.
That brings us to another point. Because both the camera and the floodlights are being powered, the ADC-V729 Series devices use a 24 Volt power supply (ADC-V729-DC and ADC-VC729P) or 100-240 Volts AC (ADC-V729AC). A 12 Volt DC power supply that is sufficient for other Alarm.com cameras will not provide enough power for this device.
The ADC-V729 and the ADC-V729AC both support dual-band WIFI. The ADC-VC729P supports wired ethernet only. If you don’t have a PoE ++ capable switch or a PoE injector available, then the ADC-VC729P can use the ADC-PSU-24V2A DC Power Supply Unit. This is also the replacement power supply for the ADC-V729 if its original power supply is lost or damaged. In the table above you’ll see a link to a bundle that contains both the ADC-VC729P and a compatible PoE++ injector.
