• Tools and additional fasteners (may be required) for mounting the camera
• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Video and power extension cable
• Compatible Alibi HD-TVI recorder
• HD-TVI 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.
• Power supply: Camera drop cable: The camera drop cable includes two connectors:
—Button Switch: Use the switch on this cable to change the video standard.
—Video BNC connector: For transmission of the video signal across a coax (75 Ω) extension
cable to an HD-TVI DVR.
—Power connector: When applying power, observe the power polarity. See the picture to the
left for the connector polarity conguration.
Mounting the camera
An ALI-TS3122R camera can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, or with a junction box. The surface
should support at least three times the weight of the camera and junction box (if used). The video/power
drop cable from the camera can be routed either through mounting surface or through a cable channel in
the mounting base.
• Mounting the camera directly to a wall or ceiling
Typical ceiling mounting
NOTE
If mounting the camera on a wall, ensure that the cable channel in the mounting base is down.
If mounting the camera on a ceiling, orient the mounting base so that the cable channel is pointing
away from any source of water, dust, and other contaminates.
1. Using the drill template provided, mark the location of the screws that anchor the mounting base
to the mounting surface. See the note above. If you are routing the drop cable through mounting
surface, also mark the position of the hole for the drop cable.
2. Drill holes for the screws that anchor the base to the mounting surface. The mounting hardware
provided is appropriate for most surfaces. However, depending on the surface materials, more
appropriate fasteners may be required.
3. If routing the drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a 5/8” hole in the middle of the drill
template.

4. Route the drop cable through the hole in the mounting surface, or through the cable channel in the
mounting base, then attach the camera assembly to the surface using the appropriate fasteners.
5. Connect the camera drop cable to video and power extension cables as required.
6. Connect the other end of the video extension cable to an HD-TVI DVR.
NOTE Drop cable connectors are not waterproof.
7. Connect the other end of the power extension cable to a 12 Vdc power source. Observe the polarity
of the cable shown in the photo on page 1 of this guide.
• Mounting the camera with a junction box
The ALI-AJ6 junction box is shown below. It can be attached to a wall or ceiling. Video and power
extension cables can be routed in through the opening in the back of the box or through the conduit
coupling, and attached to the camera drop cables inside the enclosure.

To use the junction box:
1. Remove the ALI-AJ6 front plate from the box by removing the three screws (see above).
2. Attach the front plate to the camera mounting base using three screws. If the box will be wall
attached to a wall, ensure that the “UP” label on the mounting plate is at the top of the camera, and
the cable channel in the camera mounting base is toward the bottom of the camera.
3. Using the ALI-AJ6 box as a guide, mark and then drill three holes for the screws that will attach the
box to the wall or ceiling. If the extension cables will be routed into the box through the mounting
surface, also drill a hole for the extension cables.
4. Attach the box to a wall or ceiling with three screws. Ensure that the wall or ceiling will support at
least three times the weight of the camera with the junction box.
5. Route the video and power extension cables into the box.
6. Attach the video and power extension cable to the camera drop cables. Observe the polarity of the
power cable connector as shown on page 1 of this guide.
7. Reattach the ALI-AJ6 front plate (with the camera) to the box.

The screen is dark. - Adjust the contrast control of the monitor.
- If you have an intermediate device, set the impedance (75 Ω /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.
