Step 4. 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 screen shown above, an ALI-NS3034R 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.

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.
