Double click on the Discovery Tool icon. The tool will automatically discover Alibi cameras and
recorders installed on the network.
In the example screen shown above, an ALI-NS1024VR camera was discovered. Notice that the IP
address of the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address). This camera, although configured for a
subnet that is probably foreign to the network it is installed on, 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 on the device to highlight it. Notice that the network parameters for the device populate
the fields in the right frame.
b.
Modify the network settings to values compatible with the subnet where it is installed:
»
If the
IPv4 Address
shown for the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address) and the
camera is new (un-configured) or was reset to its factory default state, the camera
did not
find
a DHCP server on the network. Modify the parameters in the right pane to values you
prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the screen below.
»
If the
IPv4 Address
shown for the camera is
something other than
192.168.1.64 (default
IP address)
and
the camera is new or was reset to its factory default configuration, the
camera
did find
a DHCP server on the network and acquired new network parameters that
are compatible with the network. If necessary, change the parameters in the right pane to
values that you prefer and are compatible with the network. An example is shown in the
screen above.
c.
Enter the
admin
password for the camera in the
Password
field. The default
admin
user
password for Alibi cameras is
1111
.
d.
Click the
Modify
button. The new IP address, port, and other settings will change and
appear in the list with the device you modified.
6.
Close the Alibi Tools Utility by clicking the
Close
icon (
T

Step 4. Login to the camera
To access the camera from a computer on the LAN:
1.
Open your Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the
camera in the URL field. In the example below, the IP address of the camera is 192.168.75.76.
