AXIS 206/206M/206W Network Cameras

The AXIS 206 series of indoor network cameras offers a cost effective solution for remote monitoring and surveillance over a local area network or the Internet. The network cameras are ideal for use in small and mid-sized businesses and homes.

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the AXIS 206 series delivers high quality Motion JPEG images using progressive scan CMOS image sensors and advanced signal processing techniques. Available in standard, as well as megapixel and wireless versions, the AXIS 206 series is easy to set up and use. The network cameras provide a multilingual product interface. They come with the free AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service for easy installation, as well as the AXIS Camera Explorer application software for easy viewing, management and recording.

AXIS 206
The Ethernet-based AXIS 206 Network Camera provides high quality images at up to 30 frames per second in all resolutions up to VGA 640x480 pixels. It can operate in light conditions as low as 4 lux.

AXIS 206M
The AXIS 206M Megapixel Network Camera features high resolution images of up to 1280x1024 pixels at 12 frames per second. The AXIS 206M supports HDTV widescreen format (16:9). Going beyond regular TV resolution, it provides significant advantages over traditional analog CCTV security cameras.

AXIS 206W
The AXIS 206W Wireless Network Camera features built-in Wi-Fi compliant 802.11b wireless connection, giving you the freedom to place the camera where it’s needed, instead of where the network outlet is. Apart from the wireless feature, the AXIS 206W has the same technical specifications as the AXIS 206.
