Not recommended

A 5MP fixed dome in the Prism commercial line. Enterprise-grade hardware on ordinary PoE cabling, provisioned against an Alarm.com for Business account and closed to everything else.

Selora does not recommend this device

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.

Install instead

  • Hikvision
  • Any ONVIF camera line recorded by Frigate or a local VMS the client owns

Roles it can fill

The entry point into the Prism line, a 5MP fixed dome for indoor and covered commercial spaces.

Prism is where Alarm.com competes with dedicated video surveillance vendors rather than with consumer cameras, and the hardware reflects that. So does the expectation that it lives inside a managed platform for its whole service life.

Hardware availability

Alarm.com hardware is sold and provisioned through authorized dealers, and the video, access control and business products also need the matching Alarm.com service plan on top of the hardware. The Z-Wave devices are the exception: they carry no service dependency once they are out of the panel’s network, and they turn up on the resale market at a fraction of dealer pricing.
