Adapter plate Surface mount drill template Weatherproof LAN coupling Mounting hardware Junction box (top view) Junction box assembly (see detail below) Step 1. Install the camera mounting base Sun Shield 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. Determine the best fasteners for securing the Junction box to mounting surface. The mounting hardware provided is suitable for most surfaces. 2. Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four captive screws. 3. 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: If 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.

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. 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. Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by removing the four mounting base captive screws. 3. Using 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. 4. Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE) to the mounting location. To mount the camera onto an electrical box 1. Install a double-gang electrical box at the location where the camera will be installed. 2. Attach the adapter plate provided to the electrical box using four (4) screws. Double-gang box 4. To open the Alibi Discover Tool, double click the file Alibi Discover Tool.exe. The tool will automatically discover Alibi cameras and recorders installed on the network. Adapter plate Orientation mark Adapter plate mounting screws (4) Mounting base screws (4) 3. Remove the junction box from the camera assembly by loosing the four mounting base captive screws. 4. Attach the adapter plate to the double-gang box using at least two (2) screws. 5. Route extension cables from the power source and LAN switch (or LAN with PoE) into the electrical box, and then up through the cable opening in the adapter plate. Step 2. Connect camera drop cables to LAN and power 1. 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 fitting is provided. 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. In the screen shown above, an ALI-IPU3230RV camera was discovered. This camera, although installed on a subnet other than the one implied by its IP address is shown, 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 the device to highlight it. Notice that the network parameters are populated in the frame on the right. 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. 2 www.observint.com 2015 Observint Technologies.
