3. Fasten the camera unit to a ceiling or wall, using screws and plugs appropriate for the
ceiling/wall material.

the supplied screwdriver.
Mounting on a hard ceiling
To mount the AXIS 216FD/216FD-V/216MFD/216MFD-V on a hard ceiling, check that the
ceiling material is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the camera.
The camera can also be secured using a plate or board that better carries the weight of the
camera, and which is more suitable for securing the screws.
The AXIS 216FD/AXIS 216MFD can also be mounted using the AXIS 216FD/AXIS 216MFD
Drop Ceiling Mount, which allows the camera to be mounted more discreetly. Please see
www.axis.com for all available mounting accessories.
