Cable Connections; Setting The Ip Address - Axis 207 Installation Manual

Cable Connections

1. Using the self-adhesive strip, attach the supplied cable clip to the rear panel and fasten the
power cable to it. This will prevent accidental cable disconnection.
2. Connect the camera to the network using a standard network cable. For the wireless
models, this connection is temporary and allows the camera's settings to be configured via
the wired network before connecting to the wireless network. If required, the AXIS 207W/
AXIS 207MW can be used solely as a wired camera, in which case the network cable
should be left connected.
3. Connect the power adapter to the camera.

The AXIS 207/207W/207MW must be assigned an IP address to make it accessible on the
