Step 2. Install the camera

The camera includes hardware to install it directly to the Junction box provided (preferred), to a mounting

surface (without the junction box), or to a 2-gang electrical box using the adapter plate provided. When

using the junction box, camera drop cables can attach to extension cables (for LAN, power, etc.) 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 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. Using the Junction box as a template, 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. If installing the box onto a vertical surface, observe the orientation for

TOP and BOTTOM orientation markings inside the box.

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, power, ALARM, RS485, and AUDIO 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 must be stored behind the mounting surface.

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. Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four mounting base captive

screws.

3. Remove the four mounting base captive screws.

4. Using 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.

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

devices for the left (or microphone) and right audio channels, and alarm input and output devices to

the mounting location.

To mount the camera onto an electrical box

1. Install a double-gang electrical box at the location where the camera will be installed.

2. Attach the adapter plate provided to the electrical box using four (4) screws.

3. Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four mounting base captive

screws.

4. Attach the junction box to the adapter plate using four (4) screws.

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

devices for the left (or microphone) and right audio channels, and alarm input and output devices

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

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

1. Connect the network ALARM, RS485 and AUDIO extension cables to the camera drop cables as

needed. The camera can connect to an alarm input sensor and an alarm output (reporting) device,

and to one microphone and one audio line out device. The camera can also connect to an RS485

network for control of the lens. Labels on the alarm and RS485 drop cables show where to connect

the extension cable wires.

2. 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. Instructions for

using the weatherproof tting are provided on the web page for the product.

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

extension cable to the 12 Vdc power drop cable. The power drop cable terminals are labeled + ,

, and -.

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.

4. Secure the camera to the Junction box (or mounting surface) using the screws provided.

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

Step 4. 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-IPU5030RMH 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 5. 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.
