1.
Determine the best fasteners for securing the camera mounting base to mounting surface. The
mounting hardware provided may be suitable for some surfaces.
2.
Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by removing the four mounting base captive
screws.
3.
Using the camera mounting base as a template, mark the locations of the holes for the mounting
screws. Also mark the location of a hole for the camera drop cables if needed.
4.
Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE) to the
mounting location.
To mount the camera onto an electrical box
1.
Install a double-gang electrical box at the location where the camera will be installed.
2.
Attach the adapter plate provided to the electrical box using four (4) screws.

3.
Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four mounting base captive
screws.
4.
Attach the adapter plate to the double-gang box using at least two (2) screws.
5.
Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE) into the
electrical box, and then up through the cable opening in the adapter plate.
Step 2. Connect camera drop cables to LAN and power
1.
Connect the network LAN and power extension cables to the camera drop cables:
a.
Connect the Ethernet LAN cable to the camera LAN drop cable. Protect the connection
from moisture and other contamination, if necessary. A weatherproof fitting is provided.
b.
If the camera is not powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet injector), connect the 12 Vdc
power cable to the camera drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown
below.
CAUTION
Do not apply power to the camera at this time. Before applying power to the camera, ensure
that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection may cause a malfunction and can damage
the camera.
2.
Secure the camera to the mounting surface or Junction box using appropriate screws.
3.
Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as configured.
Step 3. Install the Alibi Discover Tool
The Alibi Discover Tool is a software utility used to “discover” Alibi cameras and NVRs/DVRs installed
on the LAN and change their network settings. The tool is provided on the CD with your camera. To use
the 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 Discover Tool.
3.
Copy the files in the folder to a new directory on your computer. The files should appear as
shown in the directory shown below.
4.
To open the Alibi Discover Tool, double click the file
Alibi Discover Tool.exe
. The tool will
automatically discover Alibi cameras and recorders installed on the network.
In the screen shown above, an ALI-IPU3230RV camera was discovered. This camera, although
installed on a subnet other than the one implied by its IP address is shown, 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 the device to highlight it. Notice that the network parameters are populated in the
frame on the right.
