AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera
Please observe the following before installing the AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera.
• This product is designed for indoor use or in locations where it is protected from rain and moisture. To operate the
camera in outdoor conditions, use the outdoor housing accessories.
• Whether the camera is in use or not, the AXIS 214 must always be positioned where it is not exposed to direct
sunlight or strong halogen light, which can cause permanent damage to the camera's image sensor. Damage as a
result of exposure to strong light is not covered by the Axis warranty.
• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the casing. Use a mild detergent and wipe gently.

If the AXIS 214 is to be mounted on a
ceiling, it is recommended that you set the
IP address and get the camera up and
running before finally mounting it.
The AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera is
supplied with 2 brackets for ceiling
mounting.
1. Using appropriate screws (not supplied),
attach the ceiling bracket (A) to a junc-
tion box, as shown here. Use the screw
slots for easy positioning. Attach the
retaining wire if required.
Alternatively, attach the bracket directly
to the ceiling, using the 4 screw holes in
the centre of the bracket. These screws
are not supplied.
