JUST RELEASED: GeoArm First to Market with the All-New Alarm.com ADC-V716 Outdoor Wi-Fi Spotlight Security Camera!

The all-new Alarm.com ADC-V716 Camera is now available on GeoArm.com!

SMARTER SECURITY. BRIGHTER PROTECTION. BETTER TECHNOLOGY.

GeoArm Security is proud to announce the arrival of the all-new Alarm.com ADC-V716 Outdoor 2MP Wi-Fi Spotlight Security Camera with Two-Way Audio! Continuing our commitment to delivering the latest and greatest security innovations, GeoArm is excited to be first to market with this powerful new addition to the Alarm.com video surveillance lineup.

Designed to provide an affordable combination of intelligent video surveillance, advanced detection technology, and convenient DIY installation, the ADC-V716 delivers professional-grade outdoor security features at a competitive price. Whether protecting a home, business, driveway, backyard, or commercial property, this innovative Wi-Fi security camera offers smarter ways to monitor what matters most.

Introducing the Alarm.com ADC-V716: Advanced Outdoor Security Made Affordable

The new Alarm.com ADC-V716 Outdoor Wi-Fi Spotlight Camera combines 1080p Full HD video, High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging, intelligent video analytics, and spotlight-enabled color night vision into one compact, feature-rich security camera.

Unlike traditional outdoor surveillance cameras, the ADC-V716 goes beyond simply recording activity. Its intelligent video analytics can identify people, vehicles, and animals, helping users receive more meaningful notifications while reducing unnecessary alerts.

Additionally, the camera’s integrated LED spotlight, built-in security siren, and Two-Way Audio capabilities provide enhanced awareness and interactive security, allowing users to see, hear, and communicate with visitors directly through the Alarm.com mobile app.

With dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, continuous local recording capabilities, and Bluetooth-assisted enrollment, the ADC-V716 is designed to make installation, operation, and everyday security monitoring easier than ever.

Alarm.com ADC-V716 Key Features and Benefits

The ADC-V716 offers an impressive combination of smart security technology and convenience, including:

  • 1080p Full HD Video with HDR: Capture crisp, detailed 2MP video with enhanced image clarity in varying lighting conditions.
  • Built-In LED Spotlight: Illuminate outdoor areas and enjoy spotlight-enabled color night vision for improved nighttime visibility.
  • Intelligent Video Analytics: Detect and distinguish people, vehicles, and animals for smarter, more relevant security notifications.
  • Two-Way Audio Communication: Listen and speak with visitors, delivery personnel, or others directly through the Alarm.com mobile app.
  • Integrated Security Siren: Add an additional layer of deterrence with a built-in audible security siren.
  • Dual-Band Wi-Fi Connectivity: Supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks, providing flexible connectivity options.
  • 110° Wide-Angle Field of View: Monitor larger outdoor areas with expanded surveillance coverage.
  • Onboard microSD Recording: Supports continuous local video recording using a compatible microSD memory card.
  • Bluetooth-Assisted Installation: Streamlines camera enrollment, initial setup, and troubleshooting.
  • Outdoor Security Design: Built for outdoor video surveillance applications at residential and commercial properties.

Intelligent Video Surveillance That Goes Beyond Traditional Security Cameras

One of the standout features of the Alarm.com ADC-V716 is its intelligent video analytics technology.

Rather than simply detecting motion, the ADC-V716 can distinguish between people, vehicles, and animals. This advanced detection capability helps users stay informed about relevant events while minimizing notifications triggered by everyday environmental activity.

For homeowners, this means greater visibility into visitors approaching entrances, vehicles entering driveways, and activity around the property. For business owners, it provides an affordable way to improve awareness around entrances, parking areas, and other important outdoor locations.

Combined with the Alarm.com mobile app, these intelligent capabilities help make outdoor security monitoring more convenient and effective.

Brighter Nighttime Protection with an Integrated LED Spotlight

Security doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, and neither should your video surveillance.

The ADC-V716 features an integrated LED spotlight that supports color night vision, helping users capture more useful visual information in low-light conditions.

The spotlight works alongside the camera’s HDR video technology and 110° wide-angle viewing capability to deliver enhanced outdoor visibility during both daytime and nighttime monitoring.

For additional protection, the integrated audible security siren adds another deterrent feature, while Two-Way Audio allows users to communicate remotely with individuals near the camera.

Together, these technologies provide a more interactive approach to outdoor video security.

Flexible Wi-Fi Connectivity and Convenient DIY Installation

At GeoArm, we believe advanced security technology should be accessible without unnecessary installation complications or excessive costs.

That’s why the ADC-V716 is an exciting addition to our expanding lineup of DIY-friendly Alarm.com security products.

With support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks, the camera offers flexible wireless connectivity for compatible network environments.

Bluetooth-assisted enrollment also helps simplify the installation and troubleshooting process, making the ADC-V716 an attractive option for customers who prefer taking control of their own security installations.

Additionally, support for onboard microSD recording provides a convenient option for continuous local video storage when using a compatible memory card.

GeoArm releases all new IQ5 Control Panel Family!

GeoArm Security has released the IQ5 Family: a powerful lineup of smart security system control panels designed to transform how homes and businesses stay protected. Featuring the IQ Panel 5, IQ5 Hub, and IQ5 NS, this all-new platform delivers unmatched performance, deeper smart home integration, and future-ready connectivity.

The IQ Panel 5 family represents the next generation of smart security panels from IQ (formerly Qolsys), built on a powerful Qualcomm DragonWing™ quad-core processor running Android 14 for fast performance, smooth operation, and a long lifecycle of updates and new features.

All three models — IQ Panel 5, IQ5 Hub, and IQ5 NS — include built-in PowerG+ wireless technology for long-range, encrypted communication with security and automation devices, dual-path LTE and dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity for reliable communications, Z-Wave 800 Series with Long Range for smart home device integration, and Bluetooth 5.0 + LE for touchless disarming and device support. The flagship IQ Panel 5 adds a 7″ capacitive touchscreen, an integrated 13 MP PortraitView camera, dual microphones, dual 4 W speakers with an 85 dB siren, onboard glass-break detection, and full video integration capabilities, making it suitable as a central home control interface. The IQ5 Hub delivers much of the same powerful hardware and modern interface at a more accessible price point, with a touchscreen and core functionality but without the additional onboard sensors. The IQ5 NS eliminates the touchscreen entirely in favor of a screenless installation for hidden or utility-mounted deployments, relying on app control (powered by Alarm.com) while retaining the same secure communications, processor performance, and expandability as its siblings. Optional RF daughter cards allow support for legacy sensor frequencies, simplifying takeovers of existing security systems.

Three panels. Endless possibilities.

What Makes the IQ5 Family Next-Level?

✔️ Powered by Qualcomm DragonWing™ — lightning-fast processing and future-proof performance.

✔️ Built-in PowerG+ Wireless Security — secure, encrypted long-range communication with sensors.

✔️ Modular Design — choose optional daughter cards to support legacy frequencies without unnecessary hardware.

✔️ Dual-Path LTE + Wi-Fi — keep connected and monitored no matter what.

✔️ Bluetooth 5.0 + LE Touchless Disarming — smooth, modern system access.

Johnson Controls (JCI) is the manufacturer of IQ security products, including the IQ Panel and related smart home security devices.
