Install the hardware

Connect the cables

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 12 for

information on the terminal connector pins.

3. Connect power, using one of the methods listed below:

• The supplied power connector.

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

network cable is connected (see above).

• Connect power via the terminal connector. See page 12 for information on the

terminal connector pins.

4. Check that the indicator LEDs indicate the correct conditions. See the table on page 13

for further details. Note that some LEDs can be disabled and may be unlit.

!IMPORTANT! - The AXIS 211M is designed for indoor and outdoor use. To use

the camera outdoors, it must be installed in an approved outdoor housing.

Please see www.axis.com for more information on outdoor housings.

Assign an IP address

Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to

connected devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server the AXIS 211M will use

192.168.0.90 as the default IP address.

If you would like to assign a static IP address the recommended method in Windows is either

AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Camera Management. Depending on the number of cameras you

wish to install, 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 assigning the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.

• For other methods of assigning or discovering the IP address of the AXIS 211M, e.g. in other

operating systems, see page 11.

Adjust the image and focus

To focus the AXIS 211M follow the instructions below.

1. From the Basic Configuration page

in the setup tools, open the Focus

adjustment page.

2. Set the DC-Iris to Disabled and click

Save.

3. Unscrew the zoom puller on the lens

by turning it anti-clockwise. Adjust

the zoom setting as required. Re-

tighten the zoom puller.

4. Unscrew the focus puller on the lens.

Adjust the focus as required. Re-

tighten the focus puller.

5. From the Focus adjustment page, set the DC-Iris to Enabled and click Save.

Note: The DC-Iris should always be disabled while focusing the camera. This opens the

iris to its maximum, which gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best

conditions for correct focusing. When the focus is set with this method it will

then be maintained in any light conditions.

Accessing the AXIS 211M from the Internet

Once installed, your AXIS 211M is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the

camera from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic,

which is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router

for further instructions. For more information on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support

Web at www.axis.com/techsup
