Tools you need
To install the camera, you will need:
• 12 Vdc power source. See Specications for voltage and wattage requirements.
• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera
• Video and power extension cable
• CCTV video setup monitor (optional)
Installation
Before installation:
• Make sure that the device is in good condition and all the assembly parts are included.
• Check the specication of the products for the installation environment.
• Make sure that the wall or the ceiling is strong enough to withstand 3 times the weight of the camera.
• To avoid re or shock hazard, use only UL listed power supplies. Verify that the power supply will
provide the rated voltage and wattage for the camera. See the Specications section.
During installation:
• Camera Lens: Handle the camera carefully to prevent scratching or soiling the lens. If the lens or IR
array shield becomes soiled, clean it only with approved products. See the Cleaning section.
• Monitor impedance: Set the monitor impedance switch to 75 .
• Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
—Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 ) extension cable.
—Power connector: When applying Vdc power, observe the power polarity. See the picture above
for connector polarity conguration.
1. Using the drill template provided with your camera, mark the location of the screws that anchor the
base plate to the mounting surface. If you are routing the drop cable through base, also mark the
position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the ceiling. The mounting hardware provided is
appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more appropriate
fasteners may be required.
3. Drill a 3/4” hole for the drop cable, if necessary. The drop cable can be routed through the mounting
surface, or through a cable channel in the mounting plate.
4. Route camera video and power extension cables between camera location and the monitoring
device (monitor, DVR, etc.).
5. Remove the mounting plate from the camera assembly
uLoosen the clip plate captive screw with the L-wrench provided.

ALI-CD1720P, ALI-CD1080P HD-TVI
Outdoor Infrared Turret Camera
Quick Installation Guide
The ALIBI™ ALI-CD1080P and ALI-CD1720P cameras feature a 1/3” CMOS image sensor that delivers high-
denition video resolution over RG59 coax or any standard analog CCTV cabling up to 1600 ft. These HD
video camera is ideal for security applications that require a high level of detail, such as facial recognition or
license plate identication.
Features
• CMOS image sensor
• HD-TVI technology produces 1280x720 (720p, ALI-CD1720P) or 1920x1080 (1080p, ALI-CD1080P)
HD video for sharp, detailed images
• 3.6 mm wide angle (77°) lens captures images over large areas
• HD-TVI technology transmits zero latency HD video resolution over coax cabling
• Built-in IR with 24 LEDs enables the camera to see up to 65’ in the dark
• Smart IR technology reduces over-exposure of the IR LEDs at the center of the image
• True day/night (ICR) captures sharp, clear images in low light and at night
• -40 °F ~ 140 °F (ALI-CD1720P) extreme temperature operating range
• IP66 weather-rated housing

6. Anchor the mounting base to the ceiling with appropriate fasteners. If the camera drop cable will be
routed through a cable channel, make sure it is in place before securing the mounting plate to the
surface.

7. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables. NOTE: The ALI-CD1080P
camera includes a HD-TVI and CVBS BNC connectors.
8. Reattach the camera to the mounting plate.
uPosition the camera assembly onto the mounting plate such that the lip on the black ring
attached to the enclosure slips under the tabs on the mounting plate.

9. Connect the far end of the video extension cable to a monitoring device, such as a surveillance
monitor or digital video recorder (DVR).
10. Connect the far end of the power extension cable to a power supply, then apply power to the
camera through the power extension cable.
11. While observing video from the camera on a monitor, aim the camera at your surveillance target.

Cleaning
Clean the camera dome with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.
• Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub
the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a
soft cloth.
• Remove all foreign particles, such as plastic or rubber materials, attached to the camera housing.
These may cause damage to the surface over time.
CAUTION
Do not use benzene, thinner or other chemical products on the camera assembly; these may
dissolve the paint and promote damage of the surfaces. Before using any chemical product,
carefully follow the accompanying instructions.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause
Nothing appears on the screen - Check the power connection.
- Check the video signal cable connection to the monitor.
The video image is dim or not clear. - If the camera lens is dirty, clean it with a soft, clean cloth.
- Adjust the monitor controls, if necessary.
- If the camera is facing a very strong light, change the camera position.
- Adjust the lens focus.
The screen is dark. - Adjust the contrast control of the monitor.
- If you have an intermediate device, set the impedance (75  /Hi-Z)
properly, and check the cable connections.
The camera is not working properly and the
surface of the camera is hot.
- Verify that the camera is correctly connected to an appropriate regulated
power source.
The image on the monitor ickers - Make sure that the camera isn’t facing direct sunlight or uorescent light.
If necessary,change the camera position.
