Step 1. Install the camera
1. Determine the best fasteners for securing the camera to mounting surface. The mounting hardware provided is suitable for most surfaces.
2. Using the Drill Template provided, mark the location of the mounting screw holes.
If the drop cable will be routed through the mounting surface, mark the location of the hole for the cable. NOTE :
The drop cable can be routed through the cable channel on the side of the base.
3. Drill holes for the mounting fasteners, and for the drop cable if needed.
4. Remove the three lower dome screws, then separate the lower dome from the mounting base. An L-wrench is provided.
5. Route the drop cable as planned, then secure the mounting base to the surface with the fasteners.

Step 2. Connect the camera to the LAN and power it on
1. Route a Ethernet LAN cable to the camera and plug it into the Ethernet connector. Seal the connection from moisture and other contamination. A weatherproof fitting is provided.
If the camera is powered through the LAN cable (PoE), apply power to the cable to power on the camera, then continue to “Step 3. Install the Alibi Discover Tool” on page 1.
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.

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, find the folder that contains the Alibi Discover Tool.
3. Copy the files in the folder to a new directory on your computer. The files should appear as shown in the directory shown below.

4. To open the Alibi Discover Tool, double click the file Alibi Discover Tool.exe
. The tool will automatically discover Alibi cameras and recorders installed on the network. c. Enter the admin password for the device in the password field. By default, the admin user password for Alibi cameras is 1111 . d. Click the Save button. The new IP address, port, etc. settings will appear in the list with the device you modified.
In the screen shown above, an ALI-IPV3030R 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.
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 field. In the example below, the IP address of the camera is 192.168.75.76.
b. Modify the network settings to values compatible with the subnet where it is installed.
2. In the login window, enter your User Name and Password in the appropriate fields, then click
Login . The default User Name and Password for Alibi cameras is admin and 1111 .
3. If this is the first time you are logging into a camera at this IP address AND you are using Internet
Explorer 10 or newer, you must configure it for Compatibility mode: a. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools icon (located to the right of the tabs), then select
Compatibility View settings from the drop-down menu.
