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.
