2. Route a 12 Vdc power cable to the camera and connect it to the 12 Vdc connector on the camera

drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown below.

CAUTION



Before applying power to the camera, ensure that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection

may cause a malfunction and can damage the camera.

3. Seal the power cable connectors as needed from moisture and other contamination.

4. Apply power to the cable to power on the camera.

Step 3. 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-NS1012VR 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.

www.observint.com

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

Step 4. Login to the camera

To access the camera from a computer on the LAN:

1. Open your Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the

camera in the URL eld. In the example below, the IP address of the camera is 192.168.75.76.

2. In the login window, enter your User Name and Password in the appropriate elds, then click

3. 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.

4. If this is the rst time you are logging into a camera and are you are using Internet Explorer 10 or

newer, a message may appear at the bottom of the window to use ActiveX Controls. Click Allow.

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 WebComponents:

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

window requiring you to load a plug-in. Click on the message to continue, then click Run in

the pop-up block at the bottom of the screen.

NOTE

Some computer security software may attempt to block you from running WebComponents.exe. If

necessary, open the Internet Explorer downloads list, right click on the WebComponents.exe le name,

then click Run Anyway.

b. In the Setup - WebComponents window opens, click Next to continue.

www.observint.com

Installing the WebComponents plugin may require that you close the browser. Follow the

on-screen instructions, then restart your browser and log in after the installation is nished.

c. Allow the plug-in installation to complete. When the following window appears, click

Finish.

Step 5. Remote Live View screen

After logging into the camera, the Live View - Main stream window initially appears.

The option you select determines the submenu options.

— Day or Night: These options both have one parameter: Smart IR.

— Auto: If you select Auto switch, you can set the sensitivity (0 .. 7), ltering time and Smart IR.

— Schedule: Use Schedule to set that Start Time and End Time for the switch. Smart IR is

also selectable.

• Backlight Settings: Backlight settings include BLC Area (O, Up, Down Left Right Center), the

area to control, and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) ON or OFF.

If ON, you can also adjust the level of noise reduction.

• Video Adjustment: Video Adjustment includes:

— Mirror: Mirror adjustment enables you to ip the image (Up/Down), ip Left/Right (reect
