Power connections
Power can be supplied to the camera by the following methods:
• Connect the supplied indoor power adapter to the power connector block and
attach it to the camera casing. Note that this indoor power adapter provides
power for the camera only.
• Connect an outdoor power supply to the power connector block and attach it to
the camera casing. For information on available outdoor power supplies, please
visit the Support pages at http://www.axis.com/techsup/
The power connector block supports both AC and DC input power.
!IMPORTANT! - When using a DC power supply (included with this product), it is
very important that it is connected correctly to the power block. Make sure the
wire labeled with “+” is connected to pin 2 and the remaining wire GND to pin 3.
With an AC power supply either wire can be connected to pin 1 or 2.

Assign an IP address
Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to
connected devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server the AXIS 233D will use
192.168.0.90 as the default IP address.
If you would like to assign a static IP address the recommended method in Windows is either
AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Camera Management. Depending on the number of cameras you
wish to install, 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 assigning the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
• For other methods of assigning or discovering the IP address of the AXIS 233D, e.g. in other operating
systems, see page 15.

AXIS IP Utility - single camera/small installation
AXIS IP Utility automatically discovers and displays Axis devices on your network. The
application can also be used to manually assign a static IP address.
Note that the computer running AXIS IP Utility must be on the same network segment
(physical subnet) as the AXIS 233D.
Automatic discovery
1. Check that the AXIS 233D is connected to the network and that power has been applied.
2. Start AXIS IP Utility.
3. When the camera appears in the window, double-click it to open its home page.
4. See page 13 for instructions on how to assign the password.
Assign the IP address manually (optional)
1. Acquire an unused IP address on the same network segment as your computer.
2. Select the AXIS 233D in the list.
3. Click the button Assign new IP address to the selected device and enter the IP
address.
4. Click the Assign button and follow the instructions.
5. Click the Home Page button to access the camera’s web pages.
6. See page 13 for instructions on how to set the password.

Page 12 AXIS 233D Installation Guide
AXIS Camera Management - multiple cameras/large installations
AXIS Camera Management can automatically discover multiple Axis devices, show
connection status, manage firmware upgrades and set IP addresses.
Automatic discovery
1. Check that the camera is connected to the network and that power has been applied.
2. Start AXIS Camera Management. When the AXIS 233D appears in the window, double-
click it to open the camera’s home page.
3. See page 13 for instructions on how to set the password.
Assign an IP address in a single device
1. Select AXIS 233D in AXIS Camera Management and
click the Assign IP button.
2. Select Assign the following IP address and enter the IP
address, the subnet mask and default router the device
will use.
3. Click the OK button.
Assign IP addresses in multiple devices
AXIS Camera Management speeds up the process of
assigning IP addresses to multiple devices, by suggesting IP
addresses from a specified range.
1. Select the devices you wish to configure (different mod-
els can be selected) and click the Assign IP button.
2. Select Assign the following IP address range and enter
the range of IP addresses, the subnet mask and default
router the devices will use.
3. Click the OK button.

Accessing the AXIS 233D from the Internet
Once installed, your AXIS 233D is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the
camera from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic,
which is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router
for further instructions.

Other methods of setting the IP address
The table below shows the other methods available for setting or discovering the IP address.
All methods are enabled by default, and all can be disabled.
Set the IP address with ARP/Ping
1. Acquire an IP address on the same network segment your computer is connected to.
2. Locate the serial number (S/N) on the AXIS 233D label.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer and enter the following commands:
4. Check that the network cable is connected to the camera and then start/restart the
camera, by disconnecting and reconnecting power.
5. Close the command prompt when you see ‘Reply from
192.168.0.125: ...’ or similar.
6. In your browser, type in http://<IP address> in the Location/Address field and press
Enter on your keyboard.
Notes:
• To open a command prompt in Windows: from the Start menu, select Run... and type cmd. Click OK.

Unit connectors
Network connector - RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Using shielded cables is recommended. Use
care when inserting and removing the network cable.
I/O terminal connector - Used in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering,
time lapse recording, alarm notifications, etc. It provides the interface to:
•Power/Audio - Power, auxiliary power, GND and audio.
•Outputs - 4 solid state relay outputs. These can drive a maximum load of 50V DC
or 35VAC at 500mA or they can drive heavier loads by connecting additional
relay circuitry. If the output is used with an external relay, a diode must be con-
nected in parallel with the load for protection against voltage transients. The ter-
minals use a photocoupler and are electrically isolated from the other internal
circuitry.
•Inputs - 4 alarm inputs. Used for connecting external alarm devices and trigger-
ing images for specific alarm-based events. The input is typically connected to a
motion detector or any other external security device, and images can be
uploaded whenever the detector is activated. The inputs are allowed 3.3 - 40VDC.
The terminals use a photocoupler and are electrically isolated from the other
internal circuitry.
