The current 1080p indoor Wi-Fi camera, replacing the ADC-V515 with dual-band Wi-Fi and working two-way audio. Still streams only to Alarm.com, so Home Assistant gets nothing from it.
Selora does not recommend this device
Alarm.com video has no local path: the camera serves no RTSP or ONVIF stream, and needs a video plan bought through a dealer. A picture can be coaxed into Home Assistant through an unofficial community integration, but only by way of Alarm.com's servers on a reverse-engineered API.
A maintained community fork does now expose Alarm.com cameras in Home Assistant, streaming over WebRTC and rendered by a custom Lovelace card it ships. That makes the picture reachable, which is worth knowing on a takeover, but it does not make the camera local: the stream is fetched from Alarm.com with short-lived tokens, so it depends on the paid plan, the vendor cloud, and an unofficial project Alarm.com can break at any time. Recordings still cannot be held on hardware the client owns. We specify cameras that serve RTSP and ONVIF directly, so Frigate or an on-site NVR holds the footage and Home Assistant gets the detections without a subscription in the path.
The V515 done properly: same 1080p HDR picture and 110-degree field of view, but on dual-band Wi-Fi so it can sit on 5GHz, and with two-way audio that works through the customer app rather than only the dealer tools.
It is the cheapest way onto the Alarm.com video platform, which is exactly why it turns up in bundles. That makes it the camera most likely to be already on the wall when you take a house over, and the one most often replaced.
Nothing here is bad hardware. The objection is entirely that the picture is only ever available through a paid plan on someone else’s servers.
