Install the hardware
Mount the camera
The AXIS 216FD/216FD-V/216MFD/216MFD-V can be mounted with the cables routed
through the wall/ceiling, or from above or below. There are cover plates for the openings on
both sides of the dome cover. The AXIS 216FD-V/216MFD-V can also be fitted with a metal
conduit for protecting the cabling when connected via the side openings. See the
illustrations on page 4.
1. Using the drill template, drill two holes in the ceiling/wall.
2. Route and connect all the required cables. See Connect the cables, below.
3. Fasten the camera unit to a ceiling or wall, using screws and plugs appropriate for the
ceiling/wall material.
4. Ensure the camera is positioned so that the tamper-proof screws can be tightened using
the supplied screwdriver.
Mounting on a hard ceiling
To mount the AXIS 216FD/216FD-V/216MFD/216MFD-V on a hard ceiling, check that the
ceiling material is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the camera.
The camera can also be secured using a plate or board that better carries the weight of the
camera, and which is more suitable for securing the screws.
The AXIS 216FD/AXIS 216MFD can also be mounted using the AXIS 216FD/AXIS 216MFD
Drop Ceiling Mount, which allows the camera to be mounted more discreetly. Please see
www.axis.com for all available mounting accessories.
!IMPORTANT! - The casing of the AXIS 216FD/216FD-V/216MFD/216MFD-V
is not approved for outdoor use - the product may only be installed in indoor
environments.

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 216FD/216FD-V/
216MFD/216MFD-V 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 216FD/216FD-V/216MFD/
216MFD-V, e.g. in other operating systems, see page 13.
