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. Route the drop cable as planned, then secure the mounting base to the surface with the fasteners.
5. Wire the ground terminal on the back of the camera to an earth grounded conductor.
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.

CAUTION
Before applying power to the camera, ensure that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and can damage the camera.
Seal the power cable connectors as needed from moisture and other contamination.
Apply power to the cable to power on the camera.
Step 3. Install the Alibi Discovery Tool
Alibi Discovery Tool is a software utility used to “discover” Alibi cameras and NVRs/DVRs installed on the physical Ethernet network (LAN) and change their network settings. Discovery Tool is provided on the CD with your camera and is contained in Alibi Power Tools. To use Discovery 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 Power Tools (Alibi Tools Utility).
3. Install Alibi Power Tools. Refer to the ALIBI™ Power Tools Installation and User Manual also provided on the CD. When the program opens, the following screen appears.

4. Double click on the Discovery Tool icon. The tool will automatically discover Alibi cameras and recorders installed on the network.
In the example screen shown above, an ALI-NS1024VR camera was discovered. Notice that the IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address). This camera, although configured for a subnet that is probably foreign to the network it is installed on, 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 on the device to highlight it. Notice that the network parameters for the device populate the fields in the right frame.
»
If the IPv4 Address shown for the camera is something other than 192.168.1.64 (default
IP address) and the camera is new or was reset to its factory default configuration, the camera did find a DHCP server on the network and acquired new network parameters that are compatible with the network. If necessary, change the parameters in the right pane to values that you prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the screen above. c. Enter the admin password for the camera in the Password field. The default admin user password for Alibi cameras is 1111. d. Click the Modify button. The new IP address, port, and other settings will change and appear in the list with the device you modified. b. Modify the network settings to values compatible with the subnet where it is installed:

If the IPv4 Address shown for the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address) and the camera is new (un-configured) or was reset to its factory default state, the camera did not
find a DHCP server on the network. Modify the parameters in the right pane to values you prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the screen below.
6. Close the Alibi Tools Utility by clicking the Close icon ( T ) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Step 4. Login to the camera
To access the camera from a computer on the LAN:
1. Open your Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) browser on your computer 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.

3. If the password you enter for your camera is a weak password, the following pop-up window will appear. Follow the instructions to create a “strong” admin password.
NOTE
Some computer security software may attempt to block you from running WebComponents.exe. If necessary, open the Internet Explorer downloads list, right click on the WebComponents.exe file name, then click Run Anyway.
NOTE
Observint recommends using strong passwords in all of your surveillance devices. Strong passwords have a minimum of 8 characters with upper case and lower letters, numbers and special characters.
And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in high security systems. Resetting the password monthly or weekly will better protect your security system from hackers and criminals.
