What’s in the box

Your camera includes the items shown below:

• Security L-wrench

• Mounting hardware - four screws and

wall inserts

• Drill template

• Waterproof Ethernet Fitting

• Installation and setup instructions

Step 1. Route wiring to the camera

Interface cables can be routed into the camera either through the adapter plate (through the mounting

surface) or through the cable channel on the side of the camera.

NOTE

When selecting a mounting location for the camera

• Make sure that there are no reective surfaces near to the camera lens. Light from the camera may

bounce back onto the lens causing reections.

• Determine how interface wiring are routed into the camera. The cable can be routed through the

mounting surface and access hole in the mounting plate or through the side inlet.

The camera includes connectors for the following:

• Ethernet (required): The Ethernet drop cable can connect to a LAN extension cable from a

switch or Network Video Recorder. The camera can be powered across the LAN using power over

Ethernet (PoE) injection. See the Specications section at the end of this document for power

requirements. A weatherproof Ethernet Fitting is provided.

• 12 Vdc power input (optional if PoE powered, required if not): If powering the camera

with a long power extension cable, refer to the tables at the end of this guide for wire gauge

requirements. Voltage input at the camera can be within the range 12 Vdc ± 25%.

1. Route a LAN extension cable from a network switch or Network Video Recorder to where the

camera will be installed.

f the camera is not powered using PoE, route 12 Vdc power cables from an adequate power

source to the location where the camera will be installed. Voltage input at the camera can be

within the range 12 Vdc ± 25%.

Step 2.

emove the Adapter plate

To remove the adapter plate:

1. Set the camera base down on a clean surface.

Do you have a question about the ALIBI ALI-NS2114L and is the answer not in the manual?

The ALIBI ALI-NS2114L 4MP White Light IP Turret Camera is a versatile surveillance device offering high-resolution imaging and a range of advanced features for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Function Description

This camera is designed for robust surveillance, providing clear 4MP images with a resolution of 2688 x 1520 pixels at 30 frames per second (fps). It features a 1/1.8" 4MP Progressive Scan CMOS sensor and a 4mm fixed focal length lens, offering a wide field of view (horizontal 94°, vertical 48°, diagonal 115°). The camera incorporates white light illumination, providing effective night vision up to 100 feet in total darkness, with the option to adjust the white light intensity. This allows for color imaging even in low-light conditions.

Key imaging features include 120 dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for clear images in scenes with strong contrast, 3D Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) for cleaner images, and Backlight Compensation (BLC) to improve visibility in backlit areas. It also supports Region of Interest (ROI) for focusing on specific areas within the image. The camera utilizes H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video compression standards, supporting triple streams for efficient bandwidth and storage management.

Advanced smart features include line crossing detection, intrusion detection, unattended baggage detection, and scene change detection, enhancing its ability to detect and alert to suspicious activities. It supports MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card storage up to 128GB, allowing for local recording.

The camera is designed for easy installation and configuration. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified wiring, allowing both power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. The camera can be accessed and managed remotely via a web browser or through the Alibi Config Tool software. It also supports ONVIF (Profile S, G, T) for compatibility with various network video recorders (NVRs) and video management systems.

Network connectivity is straightforward, supporting both DHCP and static IP configurations. The camera can be accessed via a web browser for live view, configuration, and playback. The Alibi Config Tool simplifies device discovery and initial setup on the network.

The camera supports multiple user accounts with different privilege levels (Administrator, Operator, and User) for secure access. It also features a "Heartbeat" function, which allows the camera to send periodic signals to an NVR or management system, ensuring its operational status.

Maintenance Features

The camera is designed for durability with an IP67 weatherproof rating, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions. It also has an IK10 vandal-resistant rating, protecting it from physical impact.

Firmware updates can be performed remotely via the web interface, ensuring the camera remains up-to-date with the latest features and security patches. The camera's settings can be backed up and restored, simplifying configuration management.

For network connectivity, the camera uses an Ethernet fitting that ensures a waterproof seal, protecting the RJ-45 connector from moisture and environmental damage. This fitting involves a rubber O-ring, a drop cable end cap, and a lock nut to secure the connection.

Regular cleaning of the camera lens and housing is recommended to maintain optimal image quality, using a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild detergent can be used.

The camera includes a reset button that can be used to restore default settings, which is useful for troubleshooting or reconfiguring the device. This button can be accessed by removing the cover panel.
