Step 2. Install the Alibi Discovery Tool

Alibi Discovery Tool is a software utility used to “discover” Alibi cameras and NVRs/DVRs installed on the

physical Ethernet network (LAN) and change their network settings. Discovery Tool is provided on the CD

with your camera and is contained in Alibi Power Tools. To use Discovery Tool:

1. Insert the software CD provided with your camera into an optical drive on the Microsoft Windows

computer you will use to access your camera on the LAN.

2. On the CD, nd the folder that contains the Alibi Power Tools (Alibi Tools Utility).

3. Install Alibi Power Tools. Refer to the ALIBI™ Power Tools Installation and User Manual also provided

on the CD. When the program opens, the following screen appears.

4. Double click on the Discovery Tool icon. The tool will automatically discover Alibi cameras and

recorders installed on the network.

In the example screen shown above, an ALI-NP1013VRH camera was discovered. Notice that the IP

address of the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address). This camera, although congured for a

subnet that is probably foreign to the network it is installed on, is still found by the tool.

5. To change the network settings of the camera to be compatible with the subnet where it is installed,

do the following:

a. Click on the device to highlight it. Notice that the network parameters for the device populate

the elds in the right frame.

www.observint.com

b. Modify the network settings to values compatible with the subnet where it is installed:

» If the IPv4 Address shown for the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address) and the

camera is new (un-congured) or was reset to its factory default state, the camera did not

nd a DHCP server on the network. Modify the parameters in the right pane to values you

prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the screen below.

» If the IPv4 Address shown for the camera is something other than 192.168.1.64 (default

IP address) and the camera is new or was reset to its factory default conguration, the

camera did nd a DHCP server on the network and acquired new network parameters that

are compatible with the network. If necessary, change the parameters in the right pane to

values that you prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the

screen above.

c. Enter the admin password for the camera in the Password eld. The default admin user

password for Alibi cameras is 1111.

d. Click the Modify button. The new IP address, port, and other settings will change and

appear in the list with the device you modied.

6. Close the Alibi Tools Utility by clicking the Close icon ( T ) in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Step 3. Remote login

To access the camera from a computer on the LAN:

1. Log into the operating system as a user with administrative privileges.

2. Open the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser on your compute and enter the IP address of the

camera in the URL eld. In the example below, the IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.64.

3. In the login window, enter a User Name and Password with Administrator privileges in the

appropriate elds, then click Login. The default User Name and Password for Alibi cameras is

admin and 1111.

4. If the password you enter for your camera is a weak password, the following pop-up window will

appear. Follow the instructions to create a “strong” admin password.

NOTE

Observint recommends using strong passwords in all of your surveillance devices. Strong passwords

have a minimum of 8 characters with upper case and lower letters, numbers and special characters.

And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in high security systems. Resetting

the password monthly or weekly will better protect your security system from hackers and criminals.

5. If this login is the rst login to an Alibi camera from your computer and browser, continue with the

following sub-steps to install a plugin:

a. After a successful login to the camera, a message will appear in the middle of the Live View
