e.
Reinstall the sealing plug with the LAN cable into the junction box.
4.
Similar to the procedure in the previous step, use the insertion tool to install the other power,
audio and alarm cables through the sealing plugs in the junction box. See below.

5.
Reattach the junction box to the adapter plate. If you are using conduit with the conduit adapter
to route the interface cables, remove the side inlet cover from the junction box, and the slide the
conduit adapter into the side inlet before reattaching the junction box.
Install the camera
1.
Hook the safety cable on the junction box onto the tang in the camera module and allow the
camera to hang freely.

3.
Attach the interface cables to the connectors on the camera module. See above.
4.
Reattach the camera module to the junction box using the four screws removed earlier. \
5.
Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as configured.
Step 3. Install the Alibi Config Tool software
NOTE:
If the camera LAN extension cable is attached to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), skip this step.
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
.
1.
Download the Alibi Config 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 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.
Notice: In the screen above, the tool discovered devices with IP addresses of 192.168.0.xxx and
192.168.3.xxx. It will also list other Alibi compatible devices on the LAN, and devices with the
address 192.168.1.64 (an inactive Alibi device).
Step 4. Activate Inactive Alibi device
NOTE:
If the camera LAN extension cable is attached to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), skip this step.
Refer to the documentation available for your NVR firmware for the procedure to activate the camera, if
necessary.
When an Alibi device is first installed, or 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.
In the example below, an ALI-NS4114R camera is activated and configured for its network. The
procedure is similar for all other Alibi network cameras currently available.
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.
