Install the hardware
Mount the camera
The AXIS 209FD/AXIS 209FD-R can be mounted with the cable routed through the ceiling
or from the side.
The AXIS 209FD is supplied with a
standard RJ-45 female network
connector, on a 2 meter cable.
The AXIS 209FD-R is supplied with a
29mm female RJ-45 network connector
on a 0.5 meter cable. To protect the
cabling against moisture this connecter
must be connected to a suitable 29mm
male connector.
1. Using the supplied allen/hex key,
loosen the 4 screws holding the
cover and remove it.
2. Use the base plate to mark out the
positions for the mounting screws.
3. To route the cable through a ceiling
or wall, cut or drill the hole for the
cable and connector.
For the AXIS 209FD - cut a 17mm
hole.
For the AXIS 209FD-R - cut a 30mm
hole.
-or-
For a surface mounted cable, cut out the cable exit hole at the rear of the cover
!IMPORTANT! - The casing of the AXIS 209FD is not approved for outdoor use
and may only be installed in indoor environments.
The AXIS 209FD-R is ruggedized and can be used in damp environments.

4. Connect the network cable. If
PoE is not supported by the
network switch, use the
supplied PoE midspan/power
injector to connect power to
the AXIS 209FD/FD-R.
5. Check that the indicator LED:s
indicate the correct conditions.
See the table on page 14 for
further details.
6. Fasten the base plate to a flat
ceiling or wall, using
appropriate screws/plugs.
Check that the base plate
completely covers the cable
hole, so that it is not visible
when the camera is in place.
Before replacing the cover, you should now make the final adjustment to the position of the
lens. This requires access to live images from the camera in your browser, so you should now
proceed as follows:
a) Assign an IP address - see step 4 on page 7.
b) Set the password - see step 5 on page 10.
c) Adjust the lens - see step 6 on page 11.
d) Complete the installation - see step 7 on page 12.

Assign an IP address
To make it accessible on the network, the AXIS 209FD/FD-R must be assigned an IP address.
Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, the recommended method for
assigning IP addresses in Windows is either AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Camera Management.
Use the method that best suits your purpose.
Both of these free applications are available on the Axis Network Video Product CD supplied
with this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup
Notes:
• If there is a DHCP server on your network the AXIS 209FD/FD-R will automatically receive a dynamic
IP address, but this will not prevent manual setting of an alternative address.
• The AXIS 209FD/FD-R has the default IP address 192.168.0.90
• If assigning the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
• For other methods of assigning or discovering the IP address, e.g. in other operating systems, see
page 13.
