2.
Attach the Drill Template provided to
the installation location. Orient the
template so the “Front” direction is
toward the field of view.
3.
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.
4.
Drill holes for the mounting fasteners,
and for the drop cable if needed.
5.
If wall inserts are used, install the
wall inserts at this time.
6.
Use the L-wrench provided to fully
loosen the four captive dome cover
screws.
7.
Separate the dome assembly from
the mounting base.
8.
Attach a ground wire to the
grounding terminal the drop cables.
Ensure the grounding is compliant
with local electrical codes.
9.
If the camera will be powered by
12 Vdc
power, connect power leads
attach leads to the
+
/
-
terminals
on the camera drop cable. Do
NOT
power on the camera at this time.
NOTE
: The camera can also be powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE, see below).
10. Connect an Ethernet cable to the network connector drop cable from your camera, and then route it
to your PoE injector or your network router. If your camera is powered through PoE, do not connect
it to your PoE injector or router at this time.
OPTIONAL
: If the Ethernet connection is in a moist or
dusty environment, use the Weatherproof Fitting kit provided to protect the connectors. Refer to the
instructions at the end of this document.
11.
Optional
steps:
a.
Install a microSD card (not provided) into the card slot on the camera (see photo on
page 1). Push the card in until it locks into place.
NOTE
: The microSD card saves camera
status, recorded video and capture files within the camera for retrieval later. See the
Specifications section for maximum card size.
b.
Connect the
AUDIO IN
and
AUDIO OUT
drop cables to a local microphone and speaker
(respectively) if needed.
c.
Attach alarm in and alarm out devices to the
Alarm Terminations
drop cable. Alarm wiring
configuration is shown in the following diagram.

terminals on the Alarm drop cable. The
alarm in sensor an be normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.).
ii.
The Alarm Out circuit attaches to the
1A
and
1B
terminations. The
1A
terminal must
be on the same side of the circuit as the
Battery -
terminal.
d.
Connect your RS-485 network cable to the RS485 drop cable
D+
and
D-
terminals.
12. Apply power to the camera:
a.
If the camera will be powered by a 12 Vdc power source, attach the power leads to the power
supply and then apply power.
b.
If the camera will be powered using PoE, connect the Ethernet cable to your PoE injector or
network router.
Step 2. Use the Alibi Config Tool to Activate the camera
The Alibi Config Tool is a PC-based network utility for discovery of Alibi compatible devices. It provides
an easy way to activate devices, configure camera and recorder network configuration 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 Configuration Tool from
Supercircuits.com
or
AlibiSecurity.com/Resources
.
Install the Alibi Configuration Tool
1.
Download the Alibi Configuration Tool from the
Supercircuits.com
or
AlibiSecurity.com/
Resources
website. At the time when this document was published, the file is named:
alibi-config-tool.zip
and is about 80MB.
2.
Un-zip the file on a computer with Microsoft Windows (Windows 7 or newer) that is connected to
the LAN where your Alibi devices are connected.
3.
Run the file contained in the zip file:
Alibi Config Tool.exe
. Follow the on-screen instructions to
install the file.
4.
Open the Alibi Config Tool application. When the application opens, it automatically “discovers” and
lists all Alibi compatible devices on the LAN. See below.
Notice in the screen above, the tool discovered devices on other subnets. It will also list other Alibi
compatible devices on the LAN.
Activate Inactive Alibi device
When an Alibi device is first installed, or is reset to its factory configuration, it must be
Activated
before
it can be used. In the Alibi Configuration 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.
1.
Scan through the list of devices the Alibi Config 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. See below.
