Power cycling your ADT camera is an alternative method to reset your ADT doorbell camera. This method simply disconnects and reconnects power to your device. Moreover, the best thing about it is that you don’t need to re-enroll your ADT camera back in the ADT pulse app, saving time and energy.

Here are the steps to power cycle your ADT camera:

1. Firstly, unplug both the ADT Pulse Gateway and the ADT camera.
