Step 1. Install the camera

1. Determine the best fasteners for securing the camera to mounting surface. The mounting hardware

provided is suitable for most surfaces.

2. Using the Drill Template

provided, mark the location

of the mounting screw holes.

If the drop cable will be

routed through the mounting

surface, mark the location of

the hole for the cable. NOTE:

The drop cable can be routed

through the cable channel on

the side of the base.

3. Drill holes for the mounting

fasteners, and for the drop

cable if needed.

4. Remove the three lower

dome screws, then separate

the lower dome from the

mounting base. An L-wrench

is provided.

5. Route the drop cable as

planned, then secure the

mounting base to the surface

with the fasteners.

6. DO NOT reattach the lower dome to the mounting base at this time.

Step 2. Connect the camera to the LAN and power it on

1. Route a Ethernet LAN cable to the camera and plug it into the Ethernet connector. Seal the

connection from moisture and other contamination. A weatherproof tting is provided.

If the camera is powered through the LAN cable (PoE), apply power to the cable to power on the

camera, then continue to “Step 3. Install the Alibi Discover Tool” on page 1.

2. Route a 12 Vdc power cable to the camera and connect it to the 12 Vdc connector on the camera

drop cable. The polarity of the drop cable connector is shown below.

CAUTION



Before applying power to the camera, ensure that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection

may cause a malfunction and can damage the camera.

Seal the power cable connectors as needed from moisture and other contamination.

Apply power to the cable to power on the camera.

Step 3. Install the Alibi Discover Tool

The Alibi Discover Tool is a software utility used to “discover” Alibi cameras and NVRs/DVRs installed on the

LAN and change their network settings. The tool is provided on the CD with your camera. To use the tool:

1. Insert the software CD provided with your camera into an optical drive on the Microsoft Windows

computer you will use to access your camera on the LAN.

2. On the CD, nd the folder that contains the Alibi Discover Tool.

3. Copy the les in the folder to a new directory on your computer. The les should appear as shown in

the directory shown below.
