Install the hardware

!IMPORTANT! - The casing of the AXIS M7001 is not approved for outdoor use - the product may only be installed in indoor environments.

Mount the video encoder to a wall/ceiling

The video encoder is supplied with a mounting kit containing a metal bracket, screws and plugs for mounting the video encoder to a concrete wall/ceiling:

1.Make sure that the screws and plugs are appropriate for the wall/ceiling material.

2.Attach and secure the video encoder to the bracket.

3.Place the video encoder against the wall/ceiling, and mark the location of the two mounting holes through which the bracket will be attached.

4.Remove the video encoder and drill the two mounting holes.

5.Insert the plugs, position the video encoder and secure it to the wall/ceiling using the screws.

Note: The bracket can also be mounted on a pole using a cable tie.

Connect the cables

The video encoder uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) and must be connected to a PoE-enabled network.

1.Connect the encoder to the network using a shielded network cable. This cable is also used to power the unit.

2.Connect a camera to the BNC port, or connect the covert camera to the tele plug port.

3.Check that the indicator LED:s indicate the correct conditions. See the table on page 15.
