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.

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).

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
