Installing the hardware
Refer to the illustration on page 5 for a detailed overview of the AXIS 216FD.
1. Make a note of the serial number (S/N), which is located on the product label on the base
of the unit casing. The serial number is used in the installation.
2. Using the drill template, drill two holes in the ceiling/wall.
3. Install the camera unit on the ceiling/wall using screws and plugs that are appropriate for
the ceiling/wall material.
Notes:
• The AXIS 216FD is designed for indoor use only.
• The AXIS 216FD can be mounted with the network and power cables routed through the wall/ceiling or through
the sides. There are cover plates for the openings on both sides of the dome cover.
• Ensure the camera is placed so that the tamper-proof screws can be tightened using the supplied screw driver.
Connecting the cables
1. Connect the network cable to the camera’s network connector.
2. Connect power using one of the methods listed below:
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) via the network cable. This will automatically be detected if
available via the network.
• Connect the supplied indoor power adapter to the power connector on the camera unit.
3. Check that the network, status and power indicators (LEDs) light up green. See the table on
page 6 for LED descriptions.
