Axis 26031r3 User Manual

Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the AXIS 216FD. One of your 

first actions when troubleshooting a problem should be to check the currently installed 

firmware version. The latest version may contain a correction that fixes your particular 

problem. The current firmware version in your camera can be seen on the page Setup > 

When you upgrade the firmware with a file from the Axis Web site, your camera will 

receive the latest available functionality. Always read the upgrade instructions and release 

notes available with each new release, before updating the firmware.

Preconfigured and customized settings will be saved when the firmware is upgraded (providing the fea-
tures are available in the new firmware) although this is not guaranteed by Axis Communications. Always 
read the instructions and release notes available with each new release, before upgrading the firmware.

1. Save the firmware file to your computer. The latest version of the firmware is 

available free of charge from the Axis Web site at www.axis.com/techsup

2. Go to Setup > System Options > Maintenance in the camera’s Web pages.
3. In the Upgrade Server section, browse to the desired firmware file on your 

computer. Click Upgrade.

•After starting the upgrade 

process, always wait at least 5-10 
minutes before restarting the cam-
era, even if you suspect the upgrade 
has failed.
•Your dealer reserves the right to 
charge for any repair attributable to 
faulty upgrading by the user.
