Step 1. Install the camera

The camera includes hardware to install it directly to the Junction box provided, to a mounting surface

(without the junction box), or to a double-gang electrical box using the adapter plate provided. When

using the junction box, camera LAN and power drop cables can attach to extension cables inside the

box. The camera with or without the junction box can be installed on a ceiling (horizontal surface) or

wall (vertical surface). To install the camera, do one of the following:

To mount the camera using the Junction box

1. Determine the best fasteners for securing the Junction box to mounting surface. The mounting

hardware provided is suitable for most surfaces.

2. Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four captive screws.

3. Attach the drill template to the surface. Mark the location of the Junction box mounting screw

holes. If routing extension cables for the LAN, power, alarm devices, etc. through the mounting

surface, mark the location for that hole too. NOTE: 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.

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

5. Secure the Junction box to the mounting surface using appropriate fasteners.

6. Route the network LAN and power extension cables between the junction box and the devices

they connect to. Do not apply power to the extension cables at this time.

7. Attach the camera safety cable to the safety hook inside the junction box.

To mount the camera onto a surface without the junction box

For this mounting option, the drop cables can be routed through the mounting surface, or through the

cable channel in the mounting base.

4. Attach the adapter plate to the double-gang box using at least two (2) screws.

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

electrical box, and then up through the cable opening in the adapter plate.

Step 2. Connect camera drop cables to LAN and power

1. 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

from moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A weatherproof tting is provided.

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

below.

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.

2. Secure the camera to the mounting surface or Junction box using appropriate screws.

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

Step 3. Install the Alibi Discover Tool

The Alibi Discover Tool is a software utility used to “discover” Alibi cameras and NVRs/DVRs installed

on the LAN and change their network settings. The tool is provided on the CD with your camera. To use

the 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 Discover Tool.

3. Copy the les in the folder to a new directory on your computer. The les should appear as

shown in the directory shown below.

4. To open the Alibi Discover Tool, double click the le Alibi Discover Tool.exe. The tool will

automatically discover Alibi cameras and recorders installed on the network.

In the screen shown above, an ALI-IPU3230RV camera was discovered. This camera, although

installed on a subnet other than the one implied by its IP address is shown, 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 the device to highlight it. Notice that the network parameters are populated in the

frame on the right.

b. Modify the network settings to values compatible with the subnet where it is installed.

c. Enter the admin password for the device in the password eld. By default, the admin

user password for Alibi cameras is 1111.

d. Click the Save button. The new IP address, port, and other settings will appear in the list

with the device you modied.

6. Close the Alibi Discover Tool by clicking the Close icon ( T ) in the upper-right corner of the

screen.

Step 4. Remote login

To access the camera from a computer on the LAN:

1. Open your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser on your compute 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 this is the rst time you are logging into a camera at this IP address AND you are using Internet
