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.

3. Fasten the camera unit to a ceiling or wall, using screws and plugs appropriate for the 
ceiling/wall material.

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.
