Install the hardware
Mount the camera
The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12/MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12 can be mounted with the cable
routed through the ceiling or from the side.
The AXIS 209FD/AXIS 209MFD is
supplied with a standard RJ-45 female
network connector, on a 2 meter cable.
The AXIS 209FD-R/AXIS 209MFD-R is
supplied with a 29mm female RJ-45
network connector on a 0.5 meter cable.
To protect the cabling against moisture
this connecter must be connected to a
suitable 29mm male connector.
The AXIS 209FD-R M12/AXIS 209MFD-
R M12 is supplied with a 21mm male
M12 D-code network connector on a 0.5
meter cable. To protect the cabling
against moisture this connecter must be
connected to a suitable 21mm female
connector.
1. Using the supplied allen/hex key,
loosen the 4 screws holding the
cover and remove it.
2. Use the base plate to mark out the positions for the mounting screws.
3. To route the cable through a ceiling, cut or drill the hole for the cable and connector.
For the AXIS 209FD/AXIS 209MFD - cut a 17mm hole.
For the AXIS 209FD-R/AXIS 209MFD-R - cut a 30mm hole.
For the AXIS 209FD-R M12/AXIS 209MFD-R M12 - cut a 22mm hole.
-or-
For a surface mounted cable, cut out the cable exit hole at the rear of the cover
!IMPORTANT! - The casing of the AXIS 209FD/AXIS 209MFD is not approved
for outdoor use and may only be installed in indoor environments.
The AXIS 209FD-R/AXIS 209FD-R M12/AXIS 209MFD-R/AXIS 209MFD-R
M12 is rugged and can be used in humid environments such as mass transit
vehicles.

4. Connect the network cable. If
PoE is not supported by the
network switch, use the
supplied PoE midspan/power
injector to connect power to
the AXIS 209FD, AXIS 209FD-
R, AXIS 209MFD, AXIS
209MFD-R.
5. Check that the indicator LED:s
indicate the correct conditions.
See the table on page 14 for
further details.
6. Fasten the base plate to a flat
ceiling, using appropriate
screws/plugs.
Check that the base plate
completely covers the cable
hole, so that it is not visible
when the camera is in place.
Before replacing the cover, you should now make the final adjustment to the position of the
lens. This requires access to live images from the camera in your browser, so you should now
proceed as follows:
a) Assign an IP address - see step 4 on page 7.
b) Set the password - see step 5 on page 10.
c) Adjust the lens - see step 6 on page 11.
d) Complete the installation - see step 7 on page 12.

Assign an IP address
To make it accessible on the network, the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12/MFD/MFD-R/MFD-
R M12 must be assigned an IP address.
Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, the recommended method for
assigning 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:
• If there is a DHCP server on your network the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12/MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12
will automatically receive a dynamic IP address, but this will not prevent manual setting of an
alternative address.
• The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12/MFD/MFD-R/MFD-R M12 has the default IP address 192.168.0.90
• 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, e.g. in other operating systems, see
page 13.
