Step 1. Install the camera
The camera includes hardware to install it directly to the Junction box provided, to a mounting surface
(without the junction box), or to a double-gang electrical box using the adapter plate provided. When
using the junction box, camera LAN and power drop cables can attach to extension cables inside the box.
The camera with or without the junction box can be installed on a ceiling (horizontal surface) or wall
(vertical surface). To install the camera, do one of the following:
To mount the camera using the Junction box
1. Remove the cover on the underside of the camera, and then install a microSD card. The card can
have a capacity up to 128 GB. Reinstall the cover.
2. Determine the best fasteners for securing the Junction box to mounting surface. The mounting
hardware provided is suitable for most surfaces.
3. Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four captive screws.
4. Attach the drill template to the surface. Mark the location of the Junction box mounting screw
holes. If routing extension cables for the LAN, power, alarm devices, etc. through the mounting
surface, mark the location for that hole too. NOTE: When installing the box onto a wall, observe the
orientation for TOP and BOTTOM orientation markings inside the box and on the camera mounting
base, and orient the drill template properly.

In the example screen shown above, an ALI-NP1013VRH camera was discovered. Notice that the IP
address of the camera is 192.168.1.64 (default IP address). This camera, although congured 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 elds 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-congured) or was reset to its factory default state, the camera did not
nd 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 conguration, the
camera did nd 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 eld. 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 modied.
6. Close the Alibi Tools Utility by clicking the Close icon ( T) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Step 3. Remote login
To access the camera from a computer on the LAN:
1. Log into the operating system as a user with administrative privileges.
2. Open the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser on your compute and enter the IP address of the
camera in the URL eld. In the example below, the IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.64.

4www.observint.com © 2016 Observint Technologies. All rights reserved.
3. In the login window, enter a User Name and Password with Administrator privileges in the
appropriate elds, then click Login. The default User Name and Password for Alibi cameras is
admin and 1111.
4. If the password you enter for your camera is a weak password, the following pop-up window will
appear. Follow the instructions to create a “strong” admin password.
NOTE
Observint recommends using strong passwords in all of your surveillance devices. Strong passwords
have a minimum of 8 characters with upper case and lower letters, numbers and special characters.
And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in high security systems. Resetting
the password monthly or weekly will better protect your security system from hackers and criminals.
5. If this login is the rst login to an Alibi camera from your computer and browser, continue with the
following sub-steps to install a plugin:
a. After a successful login to the camera, a message will appear in the middle of the Live View
window requiring you to load a plug-in. Click on the message to continue.
b. When the following screen appears, click Run to download the plug-in (WebComponents)
and continue.
