Shortly after my initial review (2 posts down), Sam from Network Webcams got in touch. He apologised for not getting back to me before. Axis had advised him that an additional back plate was necessary to fit the M2036 camera to the Axis pole mount bracket and Sam offered to courier one to me to fit free of charge. This arrived promptly the following day and now provides the required secure fitting for the camera to the pole mount bracket. The Axis documentation is not sufficiently clear on this point and I am grateful to Sam and Network Webcams for providing a satisfactory resolution to the problem.
