Unit connectors
Network connector - RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Supports Auto-MDIX (AXIS 207W/MW
only) for automatic detection of straight or crossover cable. Using shielded cables is
recommended.
Power connector - Mini DC connector. 4.9-5.1V DC, max 4.0W. See product label for ±
connection.
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:
• 1 transistor output - For connecting external devices such as relays and LED:s.
Connected devices can be activated by Output buttons on the Live View page or
by an Event Type. The output will show as active (in Event Configuration > Port
Status) if the alarm device is activated.
• 1 digital input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between
an open and closed circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break
detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and the input becomes
active (shown under Event Configuration > Port Status).
• Auxiliary power and GND
Function Pin number Notes Specifications
Transistor
Output
Pin 4 Uses an open-collector NPN
transistor with the emitter con-
nected to the GND pin. If used
with an external relay, a diode
must be connected in parallel
with the load, for protection
against voltage transients.
Max load = 100mA
Max voltage = 24V DC
(to the transistor)
Digital Input Pin 3 Connect to GND to activate, or
leave floating (or unconnected)
to deactivate.
Must not be exposed to
voltages greater than
10V DC
GND AXIS 207 = Pin 2
AXIS 207W/MW = Pin 1
Ground
Auxiliary DC
Power Input
AXIS 207 = Pin 1
AXIS 207W/MW = Pin 2
Electrically connected in parallel
with the connector for the power
supply, this pin provides an
auxiliary connector for mains
power to the unit.
This pin can also be used to
power auxiliary equipment, with
a maximum current of 50mA.
Voltage = 4.9-5.1V DC
(all models)
Min power:
AXIS 207: 2.5W
AXIS 207W: 3.5W
AXIS 207MW: 4.0W

3. Install the hardware
3a. Mount the camera
Make a note of the serial number (S/N) located on the product label. This number may be
required during installation.
Wall mounting
1. If required, use the 3 supplied screws to fix the base
plate to a flat (horizontal or vertical) surface.
2. To use a shorter stand, unscrew the lock ring to release
the camera, and remove the extension section.
3. Attach the camera, adjust the angle and tighten the
lock ring.
Shelf mounting
1. Position the clamp and tighten the fixing screw
securely.
2. Attach the clamp to the lock ring on the camera.
3. Adjust the angle and tighten the lock ring.
3b. Connect the cables
1. Using the self-adhesive strip, attach the supplied cable
clip to the rear panel and fasten the power cable to it. This will prevent accidental cable
disconnection.
2. Connect the camera to the network using a shielded network cable. For the wireless
models, this connection is temporary and allows the camera’s settings to be configured
via the wired network before connecting to the wireless network.
3. Optionally connect external devices, e.g. alarm devices. See page 5 for information on
the terminal connector pins.
4. Connect power, using one of the methods listed below:
• Connect the supplied indoor power supply to the power connector on the camera.
• Connect power via the terminal connector. See page 5 for information on the ter-
minal connector pins.
5. Check that the indicator LED:s indicate the correct conditions. See the table on page 6
for further details. Note that some LED:s can be disabled and may be unlit.
!IMPORTANT! - The AXIS 207/207W/207MW is designed for indoor use only,
and must always be positioned where it is not exposed to direct sunlight or
strong halogen light, which can cause permanent damage to the camera’s
image sensor. Damage as a result of exposure to strong light is not covered by
the Axis warranty.

4. Set an IP address
To make it accessible on the network, the AXIS 207/207W/207MW must be assigned an IP
address.
Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, the recommended method for
setting 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:
• A network DHCP server is optional.
• The AXIS 207/207W/207MW has the default IP address 192.168.0.90
• If setting the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
• For other methods of setting or discovering the IP address of the AXIS 207/207W/207MW, e.g. in
other operating systems, see page 11.

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 set a static IP address.
Note that the computer running AXIS IP
Utility must be on the same network
segment (physical subnet) as the AXIS
207/207W/207MW.
Automatic discovery
1. Check that the AXIS 207/207W/
207MW 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 12 for instructions on how to set the password.
Set the IP address manually
1. Acquire an unused IP address on the same network segment your computer is connected
to.
2. Click the button Set IP address using serial number and enter the serial number
and IP address for the AXIS 207/207W/207MW. The serial number is located on the
product label.
3. Click the Set IP button and follow the instructions.
4. Click View Home Page button to access the camera’s web pages.
5. See page 12 for instructions on how to set the password.

AXIS Camera Management - multiple cameras/large installations
AXIS Camera Management can automatically find and set IP addresses, show connection
status, and manage firmware upgrades for multiple Axis video products.
Set the IP address
for a single device
1. Check that the
camera is con-
nected to the net-
work and that
power has been
applied.
2. Start AXIS
Camera
Management.
When the AXIS
207/207W/
207MW appears in the window, double-click it to open the camera’s home page.
3. See page 12 for instructions on how to set the password.
Set the IP address 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 models can be selected) and click the
Assign IP button.
2. Select Obtain IP addresses automatically (DHCP), click the Update button and the
program will search in the specified range and suggest an IP address for each device.
-or-
Enter the range of IP addresses, the subnet mask and default router that devices can use
and click the Update button.
