Mounting

The front position

The AXIS 215 PTZ can pan (swivel) ±180° from position 0°, i.e. the metal tab to the left of

the connectors, as illustrated above. This position can be thought of as the “front” of the

camera, and is the point to which the camera will return whenever it is (re)started.

!IMPORTANT! - The AXIS 215 PTZ 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.

Do not use the camera’s dome bubble if it is to be installed in an outdoor

housing as the use of two dome bubbles will reduce the image quality and

cause image blurring.

Page 6 AXIS 215 PTZ Installation Guide

The AXIS 215 PTZ can be mounted in 2 different ways:

• Surface mounted on a hard ceiling, in which case the unit is fastened directly to the

ceiling material

• Recessed in a drop ceiling, which involves cutting a hole in the ceiling and using

the supplied drop ceiling mount

Surface mounting

If the required cabling is also surface mounted, the cables should enter via the removable

cable inlet on the large plastic dome cover.

1. Use the supplied template to mark

out the positions for the screws that

will fasten the camera to the ceiling.

If required, drill holes for the

supplied mounting plugs.

2. Use the 2 supplied 4.2x38 screws to

fasten the camera to the ceiling.

3. Connect the camera to the network

using a shielded network cable.

4. Optionally connect external input/

output devices, e.g. alarm devices.

See page 15 for information on the

terminal connector pins.

5. Optionally connect an active speaker

and/or external microphone.

6. Connect the supplied indoor power

adapter to the power connector.

7. Using the supplied screwdriver,

attach the large dome cover, using

the 2 M4x10 resitorx screws.

Notes:

• When power is applied, check that the

indicator LEDs indicate the correct

conditions. See the table on page 16 for

further details.

• The dome cover can be fitted with the

clear or the smoked plastic glass. See

Replacing the dome glass, on page 9.

Drop ceiling mounting

1. If possible, remove the ceiling tile in which the drop ceiling mount is to be fitted.

2. Use the supplied template to mark the position for the hole in the ceiling tile. Remove the

protective paper, fix to ceiling tile and cut around the template.

Note: The combined weight of the camera, ceiling mount and cover is 1.26 kg (2.78 lb).

Check that the ceiling material is strong enough to support this weight. The

thickness of the ceiling should be 20-60mm (0.79”-2.36”).

3. Tilt and insert the outer ceiling bracket through the hole, and then pull it into place. The

bracket should be positioned so that the 3 vertical tabs point downwards in the hole.

4. Pull all of the required cables

(network, power, etc) down through

the hole, ready for connection.

5. Align the camera’s screw holes with

the holes in the inner ceiling

bracket, and using the 4 supplied

M4x10 screws, mount the camera

on the inner ceiling bracket, as

illustrated here.

Note: It is important that the camera is centered within the inner ceiling bracket. The

distance between the camera and the rim of the inner ceiling bracket must be

equal on all sides. Measure an equal distance between the camera and the tabs on

either side of the inner ceiling bracket. Visually ensure the centering.

6. Adjust the length of the

supplied safety wire and attach

it to both the inner bracket and

the hard ceiling above the drop

ceiling.

7. Connect the camera to the

network using a shielded

network cable.

8. Optionally connect external

input/output devices, e.g.

alarm devices. See page 15 for

information on the terminal

connector pins.

9. Optionally connect an active

speaker and/or external

microphone.

10. Connect the supplied indoor

power supply to the power

connector on the camera.

11. Lift and turn the inner bracket

(with camera) so that the

screws on the outer bracket

enter the screw slots on the

inner bracket. Make sure that

the screws go all the way to

the back of the slots.

12. Gently tighten the screws so that the ceiling tile is held between the inner and outer

brackets. Check that none of the cabling is trapped by the brackets.

Note: When power is applied, check that the indicator LEDs indicate the correct condi-

tions. See the table on page 16 for further details.

13. Using the supplied screwdriver, attach the smaller dome cover, using the 2 M4x10

resitorx screws.

Replacing the dome glass

The dome cover can be fitted with the clear or the

smoked plastic glass. To switch covers, use a torque T6

screwdriver to remove the 4 fastening screws on the

inside of the dome, as shown here.

You are advised to take care when handling the plastic

glass, to avoid scratching it. The wearing of cotton

gloves is recommended.

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 215 PTZ 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 215 PTZ, e.g. in other

operating systems, see page 14.
