Mounting
AXIS 206 - Mounting
10
1.If required, use the 3 supplied screws to fix the base plate to
a flat surface.
2.To use the shorter stand, e.g. for wall mounting, unscrew
the lock ring to release the camera, and remove the
extension section.
3.Re-attach the camera, adjust the angle and gently tighten
the lock ring.
Important!
The AXIS 206 (all models) is designed for indoor use only, and 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.

Install the AXIS 206/206M
Follow the steps below to install the AXIS 206/206M on your local network (LAN). To
install the AXIS 206W, please see
page 15.
1.Using the self-adhesive strip, attach the supplied cable clip to the rear panel.
2.Position and mount the camera as required - see above.
3.Connect the power adapter to the camera.
4.Fasten the power cable in the cable clip. This helps prevent accidental cable
disconnection.
5.Connect the AXIS 206/206M to the network using a standard RJ-45 network cable.
6.Select a method for setting the IP address - see the following page.
AXIS 206 - Install the AXIS 206/206M

Set the IP address
The AXIS 206/206M is designed for installation on an Ethernet network. This involves
assigning it an IP address, automatically (via e.g. DHCP) or manually. Several methods are
available. The one to use depends on how your network is configured. If unsure of the
method to use, please consult your network administrator, or see the network’s
documentation.
• If you are using e.g. a home broadband router, you may find it convenient to view the
router’s administration pages to discover which IP address has been assigned to your AXIS
206/206M. Please consult the router’s documentation for further information.
• If your network has an Internet connection (with no HTTP proxy) and uses a DHCP server
to assign IP addresses, use the One-Click installation procedure. See
• If your network uses automatic IP addressing (DHCP) and your computer uses the UPnP
service, the AXIS 206/206M will automatically be detected and displayed on your screen.
page 12 for more information.
See
•Use AXIS IP Utility (see page 13) to discover the IP address. This can also be used to set
the IP addess manually.
• Set the IP address manually with the ARP/Ping method, as described on page 14.
• The default static IP address for the AXIS 206/206M is 192.168.0.90

One-click Installation
Requirements:
Computer
on a LAN
The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service
•The One-click installation procedure uses the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. This free service allows you to quickly
and simply install your camera, which then receives a static name (DNS name). More information about the AXIS
Internet Dynamic DNS Service is available at www.axiscam.net
•Please note that this procedure will send the AXIS 206’s IP address, firmware version, product type and serial number to
the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS Service. No personal information is transferred.
•To remove the DNS name and unregister from the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS Service, open the Setup pages in the AXIS
206, click System Options > Network > TCP/IP, click the Settings button for the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service
and finally, click the Remove button.
