3.1 Install the Alibi Config Tool
The Alibi Config Tool is a PC-based network utility for discovery of Alibi compatible devices on a network. 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
AlibiSecurity.com/Resources
.
1. Download the Alibi Config Tool from the
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
camera is 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.
