The PoE commercial 4MP spotlight camera, giving colour night video over a single Cat5e run. Recordings go to an Alarm.com recorder or an encrypted SD card, neither readable locally.

These commercial cameras are PoE and otherwise conventional, but they are provisioned against an Alarm.com for Business account and expose no ONVIF or RTSP endpoint, so a Frigate or VMS deployment on the same network cannot record them and the analytics stay licensed to Alarm.com.
Being PoE makes the cabling ordinary, which is the frustrating part: the same cable run would feed an ONVIF camera that any video management system could use. As sold, the stream and the analytics are licensed to the Alarm.com platform, recordings land on an Alarm.com stream video recorder or the camera's own SD card, and neither is readable by other software. The community Home Assistant integration covers residential cameras rather than this commercial line, so even the cloud workaround does not apply here. We specify ONVIF cameras for commercial work so the client owns the footage and can change platform without rewiring.
4MP with a spotlight for colour at night, the PoE sibling of the residential ADC-V730.
It records to a microSD card or to an Alarm.com stream video recorder. Both are on the client’s premises and neither can be read by anything except Alarm.com, which is the distinction that matters when someone asks whether the footage is theirs.
