Quick Installation Manual

ALIBI ALI-BC1720EC is a versatile HD-TVI/CVBS bullet camera suitable for both surveillance and image processing systems.

With its high sensitivity sensor and advanced circuit design, it delivers sharp, detailed images in both HD-TVI (1280 x 720 @ 30 fps) and CVBS (1000 TVL) formats. The 3.6 mm lens provides a wide field of view, while the built-in 24 LEDs illuminate up to 65 ft in darkness.

Smart IR technology prevents overexposure at the center of the image, ensuring clear visibility even at night. The true day/night (ICR) feature allows for sharp, clear images in low light conditions.

What you need
To install the camera, you will need:
12 Vdc power source. See Specications for wattage requirement.
Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera
Phillips screwdriver
Video and power extension cable
HD-TVI or CVBS video setup monitor (optional)
Installation
Before installation:
Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
Check the specication of the products for the installation environment.
Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.
To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Spec ications section.
During installation:
Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR
array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the
Cleaning section.
Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension cable
to an HD-TVI or CVBS compatible recorder.
Power connector: When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the
right for the connector polarity conguration.
Mounting the camera
An ALI-BC1720EC camera can be mounted on a wall or ceiling that has sucient strength to support it.
The video/power drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a
cable guide in the mounting base.
Typical ceiling mounting
NOTE
If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable guide in the mounting base is down.
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable guide is pointing
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates.
1. Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base
to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more
appropriate fasteners may be required.
3. If routing the drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a 5/8” hole in the middle of the drill
template.
4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable guide in the
mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
5. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required.

6. Connect the CVBS leads to a toggle switch, if needed, or short them together for CVBS output at the
BNC connector.
7. Connect the other end of the video extension cable to a HD-TVI compatible (or CVBS, if congured)
video monitoring device, such as a HD-TVI digital video recorder (DVR).
NOTE
Drop cable connectors are not waterproof.
8. Connect the other end of the power extension cable to a 12 Vdc power source. Observe the polarity
of the cable shown in the photo on page 1 of this guide.
Camera adjustments
1. Apply power to the camera.
2. Verify that video from the camera can be seen on the monitor.
3. While observing video from the camera, loosen the mounting bracket pan lock nut, and elevation
and horizontal line adjustment lock screws, point the camera at your surveillance target, and then
tighten adjustment lock screws and nut to hold the camera in position.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the camera glass with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.
Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub
the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a
soft cloth.
Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing.
These may cause damage to the surface over time.
CAUTION
Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these may
dissolve the paint and promote damage of the surfaces. Before using any chemical product,
carefully follow the accompanying instructions.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
Nothing appears on the screen - Check the power connection.
- Check the video signal cable connection to the monitor.
The video image is dim or not clear. - If the camera lens is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth.
- Adjust the monitor controls, if necessary.
- If the camera is facing a very strong light, change the camera position.
The screen is dark. - Adjust the contrast control of the monitor.
- Set the monitor impedance properly for the DVR (usually 75 Ω /Hi-Z),
and check the cable connections.
The camera is not working properly and the
surface of the camera is hot.
- Verify that the camera is correctly connected to an appropriate regulated
power source.
The image on the monitor ickers - Make sure that the camera isn’t facing direct sunlight or uorescent light.
If necessary,change the camera position.
