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
Mounting
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 fitting 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.

Before applying power to the camera, ensure that the polarity is correct. An incorrect connection
may cause a malfunction and can damage the camera.
CAUTION
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, find the folder that contains the Alibi Discover Tool.
3. Copy the files in the folder to a new directory on your computer. The files should appear as shown in
the directory shown below.
