About the Alibi Cong Tool

The Alibi Cong Tool is a PC-based network utility for discovery of Alibi compatible devices on a IP network. It provides an easy

way to activate Alibi devices, congure camera and recorder network conguration settings, and set device passwords. It can be

installed on a Microsoft® Windows® operating system that has access to the IP network where your Alibi devices are installed.

Step 1. Install the Alibi Config Tool software

1. Download the Alibi Cong Tool from the AlibiSecurity.com website. At the time when this document was published, the le is

named: alibi-cong-tool.zip and is about 80MB.

2. Un-zip the le on a computer with Microsoft Windows (Windows 7 or newer) that is connected to the LAN where your Alibi camera is

connected.

3. Run the le contained in the zip le: Alibi Cong Tool.exe. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the le.

4. Open the Alibi Cong Tool application. When the application opens, it automatically “discovers” and lists all Alibi compatible devices on

the LAN. See below.

Notice: In the screen above, the tool discovered devices with IP addresses of 192.168.3.xxx. It will also list other Alibi compatible

devices on the LAN, and devices with the address 192.168.1.64 (an inactive Alibi device).

Step 2. “Activate” inactive Alibi camera

When an Alibi camera is rst installed, or reset to its factory conguration, it must be “Activated” before it can be used. In the Alibi

Conguration Tool, “Inactive” devices have a Security status of Inactive, and an IPv4 address of 192.168.1.64. A device is “Activated” when

a password is assigned to the admin username of the device.

In the example below, an ALI-NS2112VR camera is activated and congured for its network.

1. Scan through the list of devices the Alibi Cong Tool discovered for the Inactive device you want to activate (see below). Click on the

device in the list to highlight it, and then click the select box to check it. See below.

Alibi Security IP cameras are usually installed on a network in either of two ways:

• Connected to the internal switch of a network video recorder (NVR): In this conguration, Ethernet cables

connect the camera directly to an NVR back panel. The NVR automatically “Activates” the camera and congures the

camera’s network parameters to establish a communications link between them. In the diagram below, IP Cam A is

connected to the NVR which activates the camera and set up its network parameters.

• Connected to the network router: In this conguration, Ethernet drop cables connect the camera to a network switch

(router). The network utility, Alibi Cong Tool, is used to “Activate” the camera and congure the camera’s network

parameters so that the camera can communicate across the network. In the diagram below, IP Cam B and IP Cam C are

connected to the router, and are activated with the Alibi Cong Tool on Computer B.

In the diagram above, NOTE that:

• Computer A cannot directly access any devices within the router rewall (with a browser) unless the device activated and setup with

network parameters compatible with the router, and the router is congured for port forwarded to the device.

• Computer B with Alibi Cong Tool is used to activate Alibi cameras connected directly to the router (IP Cam B, IP Cam C) and

setup their network parameters. After Alibi devices on the router are activated and congured for the network, Computer B can

access each device using IE.

• The Smartphone (Android or iOS) with Alibi Witness app can access the NVR with IP Cam A through the Guarding Vision

Cloud service without port forwarding the router. However, the router must be congured for port forwarded to IP Cam B and IP

Cam C to access them.

This guide provides a generic instructions for activating and setting up the network parameters for new Alibi cameras Connected

to the network router using the Alibi Cong Tool. The examples shown herein activate an Alibi camera and congure its

network settings. Currently, the procedure is identical for all new Alibi IP cameras.

Activate

2. Click the Activate button. In the Activate window, create a password for the admin (administrator) username:

a. In the Activate window, enter an a password for admin in the New Password eld. Use a combination of uppercase, lowercase

alphabetic characters and numbers to create a “Strong” password. The rating is shown beneath the eld. See above.

b. Enter the admin password again in the Conrm eld, and then click Activate. In the screen below, notice that the device

Security status shows “Active”. Record your admin password for reference later.

CAUTION

If you lose your admin (administrator) password, you cannot congure the device or restore it to its factory settings. To reset your

password, call your support organization for specic instructions.

Notice that although the device is now activated, it retained the default IP address, 192.168.1.64.

Step 3. Modify Network Parameters

1. In the list of devices discovered, click on the device you want to change the network settings for, click the select box to check it, and

then click the Modify Network Parameters button. See below.

Modify Network Parameters

2. In the popup window, edit the current network parameters, and then enter the admin user password in the eld at the bottom.

a. Enable DHCP: You can select Enable DHCP to acquire compatible network settings from a DHCP server installed on the LAN.

However, these settings can be changed by the DHCP server. Since it is recommended to use an unchanging IP address, you can

use DHCP to acquire compatible network settings, and then uncheck Enable DHCP and save that conguration to retain the

new network parameters.

b. In the example below, the IPv4 address was changed to 192.168.3.100, and the IPv4 Gateway was changed to 192.168.3.1. These

settings were determined to be compatible with the network router and other devices that share the same router.

3. Click OK to save your settings. The parameter change(s) will be shown device’s network parameters (see below).

Step 4. Login to the camera

Microsoft® IE is used to access your camera remotely. IE must run as an Administrator to use all features available through a remote login to

the camera.

Setting MS Internet Explorer to run as an Administrator

Window 7: To run IE as an Administrator:

1. Find or create an IE icon on your computer desktop.

2. Hold down the shift key, and then right-click on the IE icon.

To login to the camera from a computer on the same LAN:

1. Open your IE browser and enter the IP address of the camera in the URL eld. In the example below, the IP address of the camera is

192.168.3.100.

2. In the login window, enter admin for the User Name and the password you created in the Password eld, then click Login.

3. If this is the rst time you are logging into a camera, you may see the message in the following screen. If this appears, follow the sub-

steps below.

a. Click on the message to install the plugin.

b. In the message bar at the bottom of the screen, click Run. Follow the on-screen instructions to install WebComponents. When

the following screen opens, click Finish.
