1. Determine the best fasteners for securing the camera mounting base to mounting surface. The

mounting hardware provided may be suitable for some surfaces.

2. Using the template provided or the camera mounting base as a template, mark the locations of

the holes for the mounting screws. Also mark the location of a hole for the camera drop cables

if needed.

3. Drill holes into the mounting surface as needed.

4. Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE) to the

mounting location.

5. Connect the network LAN and power extension cables to the camera drop cables:

a. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection

Step 1. Install a microSD card (optional)

The camera includes hardware to install it directly to a ceiling (horizontal surface) or wall (vertical

surface). To install the camera:

1. Remove the maintenance panel cover on the underside of the camera.

2. Insert a microSD card (see Specications section for card types) into the card slot. The card

should slide in smoothly. Push the card all the way in until it latches in place.

www.observint.com

b. If the camera is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet injector), connect the 12 Vdc

power cable to the camera drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown in

the drop cable photo above.

CAUTION



Do not apply power to the camera at this time. Before applying power to the camera, ensure

that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and can damage

the camera.

6. Attach an earth ground cable to the ground terminal on the back of the camera body. Follow

local electrical codes when grounding the camera.

7. For outdoor installations, seal holes drilled in the mounting surface to block moisture and other

contaminants, if necessary.

8. Secure the camera to the mounting surface using appropriate fasteners.

9. Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as congured.

Step 3. Install the Alibi Config Tool software

NOTE: If the camera LAN extension cable is attached to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), skip this step.

The Alibi Cong Tool is a PC-based network utility for discovery of Alibi compatible devices. It provides

an easy way to activate devices, congure camera and recorder network conguration settings, and set

device passwords. It can be installed on a Microsoft® Windows® operating system that has direct access

to the network where your Alibi devices are installed. You can download the Alibi Conguration Tool

from AlibiSecurity.com/Resources.

1. Download the Alibi Cong Tool from the AlibiSecurity.com/Resources website. At the time

when this document was published, the le is named: alibi-cong-tool.zip and is about 80MB.

2. Un-zip the le on a computer with Microsoft Windows (Windows 7 or newer) that is connected

to the LAN where your Alibi camera is connected.

3. Run the le contained in the zip le: Alibi Cong Tool.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions

to install the le.

4. Open the Alibi Cong Tool application. When the application opens, it automatically “discovers”

and lists all Alibi compatible devices on the LAN. See below.

NOTE

In the screen above, the tool can discover devices on other sub-nets. It will also list other Alibi

compatible devices on the LAN, and devices with the address 192.168.1.64 (an inactive Alibi device).

Step 4. Activate Inactive Alibi device

NOTE: If the camera LAN extension cable is attached to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), skip this step.

Refer to the documentation available for your NVR rmware for the procedure to activate the camera.

When an Alibi device is rst installed, or reset to its factory conguration, it must be “Activated” before

it can be used. In the Alibi Conguration Tool, “Inactive” devices have a Security status of Inactive,

and an IPv4 address of 192.168.1.64. A device is “Activated” when a password is assigned to the

admin username of the device.

In the example below, an ALI-NS4012R camera is activated and congured for its network. The

procedure is similar for all other Alibi network cameras currently available.

1. Peruse the list of devices the Alibi Cong Tool discovered for the Inactive device you want to

activate (see below). Click on the device in the list to highlight it, and then click the select box to

check it.

ActivateSelected

2. Click the Activate button. In the Activate window, you will create a password for the admin

(administrator) username.

a. In the Activate window, enter an a password for admin in the New Password eld.

Include a combination of uppercase, lowercase alphabetic characters and numbers to

create a “Strong” password. The rating is shown beneath the Password eld. See above.

b. Enter the admin password again in the Conrm eld, and then click Activate. In the

screen below, notice that the device Security status shows “Active”. Record your admin

password for reference later.

CAUTION



If you lose your admin (administrator) password, you cannot congure the device or restore

it to its factory settings. To reset your password, call your support organization for specic

instructions.

Notice that although the device is now activated, it retained the default IP address.

Step 5. Edit Network Parameters

NOTE: If the camera LAN extension cable is attached to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), skip this

step. The camera will receive network conguration settings from the NVR. Refer to the documentation

available for your NVR rmware for more information.

You can change the network parameters of devices that are active.

1. In the list of devices discovered, click on the device you want to change the network settings for,

and then click the select box to check it. See below.

Edit Network Parameters

2. In the popup window, edit the current network parameters, and then enter the Administrator

(admin) user password in the eld at the bottom.

a. Enable DHCP: You can select Enable DHCP to acquire compatible network settings

from a DHCP server installed on the LAN. However, these settings might be changed later

by the DHCP server. Since it is recommended to use an unchanging IP address, you can use

DHCP to acquire compatible network settings, and then uncheck Enable DHCP and save

that conguration to retain the new network parameters.

b. In the example below, Enable DHCP was checked to acquire compatible network

settings from the DHCP server.

3. Click OK to save your settings. The parameter change(s) will be shown device’s network

parameters (see below).

Step 6. Login to the camera

NOTE: If the camera LAN extension cable is attached to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), skip this step.

Microsoft® IE is used to access your camera remotely. IE must run as an Administrator to use all features

available through a remote login to the camera.

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

— White Balance: White Balance selection is used to correct colors in the image

depending on the lighting source. You can also set the white balance manually (MWB),

using Automatic White Balance (AWB1), and lock the white balance setting (Locked WB).

— Image Enhancement: Options in this submenu include Digital Noise Reduction (DNR)

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

Using the Waterproof Ethernet Fitting

Install the Waterproof Ethernet Fitting on the Ethernet cable end at the camera when moisture

or contamination exists in the area near the camera. The tting includes several parts that must be

installed in a specic order. To install the tting:

1. Place the rubber O-ring over the camera drop cable end cap.

Push the O-ring up to the connector cap.

2. If the network cable from the switch or router has a connector

on the end, cut o the connector.

3. Place the Lock Nut onto the network cable from the router

or switch as shown in the drawing to the right. The inside

threads must be toward the camera end.

4. Place the rubber basket onto the network cable above the lock

nut as shown.

5. Place the end cap onto the network cable above the rubber

gasket as shown. The ngered end must be toward the router

or switch.

6. Install an RJ-45 connector onto the network cable.

7. Plug the RJ-45 connector with the network cable into the

camera network drop cable.

8. Fit the end cap on the network cable onto the camera drop

cable end cap. Rotate the network cable end cap to lock it in

place.

9. Push the rubber gasket fully into the end of the network cable

end cap.

10. Screw the lock nut onto the network cable end cap until it is

fully seated.
