SECTION 1: OVERVIEW

SECTION 1

Overview

The Alibi Security ALI-NT4002R (bullet) and ALI-NT2002R (turret) thermal and optical network cameras include a built-in GPU

which support an intelligent behavior analysis algorithm to provide high precision video content analytics (VCA) detection and real-

time alarms. It is useful for re-prevention purposes in indoor space such as engine rooms, ATMs, conference rooms, warehouses,

museums, train stations, power stations, etc. The pre-alarm system discovers unexpected events immediately to help protect you

from property loss. Thermal imaging functions include:

• Leading image processing technology: Adaptive AGC, Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE), 3D DNR, Noise Equivalent

Temperature Dierence (NETD) less than 40 mK (25 °C), F#=1.1

• Powerful behavior analysis function, based on deep learning algorithm: Line crossing, Intrusion, Region Entrance & Exit

• Reliable temperature exception alarm function

• Advanced re detection algorithm

• Picture in picture preview

• 160 × 120 (the output image resolution is 320 × 240) resolution, high sensitivity thermal sensor. Supports contrast

adjustment.

• Shutter adjustment in various modes

• 15 palettes of color enhancement

1.1 Imaging

After connecting to the camera with an internet browser either through an NVR or by directly logging into it, the Live View screen

allows you to concurrently view both the real-time video (optical spectrum) from the camera and the thermal image (infrared

spectrum) of the video on separate video channels.

The real-time video channel can have a resolution up to 1920 × 1080 pixels, and the thermal channel can have a resolution up

to 320 × 240 pixels. Both channels are transmitted through the single Ethernet connection to the camera. Both channel support

motion detection and video tampering detection. Additionally, the optical video channel (channel 1) supports audio exception

detection, and the thermal channel (channel 2) supports Dynamic Fire Source Detection and Fire Source Region Shield.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION

SECTION 2

Installation

An ALI-NT4002R camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, with or without the junction box provided. The surface should

support at least four times the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The drop cables can be routed either through

mounting surface, through a cable channel in the mounting base, or into the junction box for connection to extention cables for the

network, power, alarms and audio accessories.

After the camera is mounted, it is powered on and then activated. If the camera is attached through to an NVR, it can be using the

NVR. If it is attached to a network switch, the Alibi Conguration Tool is installed and used to activate the camera.

After activation, the camera must be congured for your application needs. To congure the thermal video features and some

optical video features, you must log into the camera with a browser. Which can be done through the NVR, or directly if installed on

a network (connected to a network switch.

2.1.2 Install a microSD card (optional)

The camera can accommodate a microSD card. These cards are valuable for recording local alarms, live video and local captures.

If the camera is attached to an NVR, this information is normally uploaded into the NVR. However, if the camera is attached to a

network switch, the microSD card is where local video and alams events are saved.

The microSD card slot is located behind the maintenance panel cover on the underside of the camera. See the Specications section

of this document for card types and capacity. To install a microSD card:

1. Remove the cover on the underside of the camera (see the photo below).

2. Slide a formatted microSD card into the card slot. It should slide in smoothly. Push the card all the way into the slot, and then

release it. The card should latch into place. (To remove the card, push it all the way in to unlatch it, and then release it.)

NOTE

The microSD card may need to be initialized before it can be used to record data. Refer to the ALIBI™ IP Camera Firmware Version ..

User Manual provided at AlibiSecurity.com/resources for instructions to initialize the card.

2.1.3 Installing the camera with the junction box

1. Determine and acquire the best fasteners for securing the Junction box to mounting surface. The mounting hardware provided

is suitable for many surfaces.

2. Attach the drill template to the surface. Mark the location of the Junction box mounting screw holes. These holes are identied

with #2 on the template. If routing extension cables for the LAN, power, alarm devices, etc. through the mounting surface,

mark the location for that hole, too. If installing the box onto a wall, observe the orientation for TOP and BOTTOM orientation

markings inside the box and on the camera mounting base, and orient the drill template properly.

3. Drill holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and extension cables (if necessary).

4. Find the junction box seal in the camera box. Remove the protective paper from the back of the seal, and then apply the seal to

to the mounting surface side of the junction box.

5. Anchor the junction box to the mounting surface using the appropriate fasteners.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION

6. Route the Ethernet, power, alarm, audio and RS-485 (if used) extension cables into the junction box from the devices they

connect to. Extension cables can be routed into the box through a hole in the mounting surface, or through conduit. Do not

apply power to the extension cables at this time.

7. Position the camera mounting base seal onto the camera mounting base. The thick foam side should be toward the camera,

and the camera drop cables should be routed out through the hole in the center of the seal. Adjust the seal so that the holes in

the seal align with the holes in the mounting base and the locator pin holes in the base.

8. Hang the camera on the junction box by placing the loop on the safety cable on the tab inside the box.

9. Continue with “2.1.5 Connect extension cables to the camera drop cables” on page 13.

2.1.4 Installing the camera without the junction box

“Bottom” marking

1. Determine and acquire the best fasteners for securing the camera to mounting surface. The mounting hardware provided is

suitable for many surfaces.

2. Attach the drill template to the surface. Mark the location of the camera mounting screw holes. These holes are identied with

#1 on the template. If routing extension cables for the LAN, power, alarm devices, etc. through the mounting surface, mark the

location for that hole, too. If installing the camera onto a wall, observe the orientation for Bottom markings on the camera

mounting base, and orient the drill template properly.

3. Drill holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and extension cables (if necessary).

4. Route the Ethernet, power, alarm, audio and RS-485 (if used) extension cables into the junction box from the devices they

connect to. Extension cables can be routed into the box through a hole in the mounting surface, or through conduit. Do not

apply power to the extension cables at this time.

5. Position the camera mounting base seal onto the camera mounting base. The thick foam side should be toward the camera,

and the camera drop cables should be routed out either through the hole in the center of the seal, or through the cable channel

on the edge of the mounting base. Adjust the seal so that the holes in the seal align with the holes in the mounting base and

the locator of the cable channel in the base.

6. Continue with “2.1.5 Connect extension cables to the camera drop cables” on page 13.
