ENGLISH ENGLISH

The AXIS 216FD 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. See 
the illustations on page 4.

To mount the AXIS 216FD on e.g. a drop (suspended) ceiling, it is important to check that 
the ceiling material is strong enough to hold the weight of the camera.

Please see www.axis.com for available mounting accessories.

1. Using the drill template, drill two holes in the ceiling/wall.
2. Route and connect all the required cables. See 3b. 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.

1. Connect the camera to the network using a shielded network cable. 
2. Optionally connect external input/output devices, e.g. alarm devices. See page 5 for 

information on the terminal connector pins.

3. Optionally connect an active speaker and/or external microphone.
4. Connect power, using one of the methods listed below:

• PoE (Power over Ethernet). If available, this is automatically detected when the 

network cable is connected (see above).

• Connect the supplied indoor power supply to the power connector on the camera.

5. Check that the indicator LED:s indicate the correct conditions. See the table on page 6
