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. Using the themplate provided or 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.
3. Drill holes into the mounting surface as needed.
4. Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE) to the
mounting location.
5. 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 Ethernet Fitting is
provided. Installation instructions for the tting are included later in this document.

WARNING
!
Failure of the power or Ethnernet connector due to moisture or another
contaiminant is considered an installation error, which voids the waranty. If
installing this camera in a location such as an overhang, shop, garage, kitchen,
etc. where high humidity or dust is present, seal these connections adequately.
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.
6. Secure the camera to the mounting surface using appropriate screws.
7. Apply power to the camera through the 12 Vdc power cable or PoE injector, as congured.

Step 1. Install the Alibi Discovery Tool software
Alibi Discovery Tool is a software utility used to “discover” Alibi cameras and NVRs/DVRs installed on
the physical Ethernet network (LAN) and change their network settings. Discovery Tool is provided in
the Alibi Power Tools software suite available for download from AlibiSecurity.com/resources. It
should be installed on a Window PC attached to the same LAN as your camera. To install the Alibi Power
Tools suite and use the Discovery Tool:
1. Download the Alibi Power Tools installer le and user manual from AlibiSecurity.com/
resources.
2. Copy the installer le to a Windows PC that is attached to the same Ethernet network your
camera is installed on.
3. Install Alibi Power Tools. Refer to the ALIBI™ Power Tools Installation and User Manual. When the
program opens, the following screen appears.
4. Double click on the Discovery Tool icon. The tool will automatically discover Alibi cameras and
recorders installed on the network. For example, in the example below, Discovery found the

a. Click on the camera entry in the Online Devices list to select it. The Network Parameters
and other device information will appear in the right column.
b. Enter a “strong” password in the New Password and Conrm Password elds. Strong
passwords have: 8 to 16 characters and include at least one character from two of the
following groups: uppercase, lower case, numbers and special characters.
c. Click OK to set the new password. The Security status should change to Active.
5. To change the network settings of the camera to be compatible with the LAN where it is
installed, do the following:
a. Click on the new camera to highlight it.
b. In the right frame, click the box to Enable DHCP to acquire network settings from a
DHCP server on the network, or enter a new IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway that is
compatible with your LAN (see below).
Password eld
c. Enter the password for the camer ain the password eld, and then click Save. If the new
settings were applied, the following window will appear.
If the window above didn’t appear, use the information provided to adjust the parameters,
and then Save the settings.
