Battery Replacement

This Axis product uses a 3.0 V CR2032 lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time
clock (RTC). Under normal conditions this battery will last for a minimum of 5 years. Low battery
power affects the operation of the RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up. A log message will
appear when the battery needs replacing. The battery should not be replaced unless required!

If the battery does need replacing, please contact www.axis.com/techsup for assistance.

• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• Risk of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent battery, as recommended by the manufacturer.

Install the hardware

Important!

The casing of the AXIS P7214 is not approved for outdoor use - the product may only be installed in
indoor environments.

Notes:

• The AXIS P7214 can be placed on a flat surface or mounted. See below for mounting instructions.

• Punch out the protective pads and stick them to the underside of the video encoder to prevent scratches on
the surface where the video encoder is placed.

Mount the video encoder

The video encoder is supplied with a mounting kit containing screws and plugs for mounting the
video encoder on a concrete wall:

1. Place the video encoder against the wall, and mark the four mounting holes (see image on
page 6).

HxWxD = 37x109x172
Weight = 570g (1.26 lbs)

AXIS P7214 Installation Guide Page 7

2. Drill the four mounting holes.

3. Insert the provided wall plugs into the wall, and attach it to the wall using the screws provided.

Connect the cables

1. Connect the encoder to the network using shielded network cables. If using PoE see note below.

2. Optionally connect external input/output devices, e.g. alarm devices. See page 8 for information
on the terminal connector pins.

3. Optionally connect active speakers and/or external microphones.

4. Connect the cameras to the video inputs.

5. If powering the unit with DC input, connect the supplied indoor power adapter or an external
power supply. See note below.

6. Check that the indicator LEDs indicate the correct conditions. See the table on page 10 for
further details.

The unit can be powered using either the DC power input or PoE (Power over Ethernet). If powering the

Note:

unit using DC power, connect the power supply to the power connector at the rear of
the unit. If powering the unit using PoE, connect a PoE network cable.

I/O terminal connector - Used in applications for e.g. motion
detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm
notifications. In addition to an auxiliary power and a GND pin, the
AXIS P7214 has 4 pins that can be configured as either input or
output. These pins provide the interface to:

• Transistor output - For connecting external devices
such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by AXIS VAPIX API, output
buttons on the Live View page or by an Event Type. The output will show as active
(shown under Event Configuration > Port Status) if the alarm device is activated.

• Digital input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open
and closed circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, and glass break detectors.
When a signal is received the state changes and the input becomes active (shown
under Event Configuration > Port Status.).
