5.3  Configuring Platform Access

The 

Platform Access

 menu is used to associate the camera with your Alibi Connect account. Using Alibi Connect, you can easily 

setup and connect to a network camera and view it from the Internet with the smartphone app Alibi Witness 2.0. It is not necessary 
to port forward of your router to see a live view from your camera and receive alarm notifications. 

Before configuring this feature, ensure that the latest version of Alibi Witness 2.0 (or later) is installed in your smartphone (Android 
or iPhone iOS), and you have created a Alibi Connect Cloud account that is active in the app. For information about how to setup and 
use Alibi Witness 2.0, refer to the document 

ALIBI™ Witness 2.0 Smartphone App for Android™ Mobile Devices User Guide

available from your Alibi product vendor. 

Setup of this capability is two staged: 1) setup your camera for Alibi Connect Platform Access, and 2) add the camera to the Alibi 
Connect feature in your Alibi Witness 2.0 smartphone app.

1.  Open the Platform Access menu. Go to: 

Setup | Network | Advanced Settings | Platform Access.
