AXIS 205 Network Camera

The AXIS 205 is the world's smallest network camera. 
  It's been specially designed for businesses and home users who want a remote monitoring product with high quality video streaming, easy to use features and an attractive price!

The AXIS 205 enables you to remotely view live video and manage the camera from anywhere in the world using any standard Web browser. Use it to monitor people and property, or to broadcast events or facilities.
 
With its own IP address and built-in Web server, the AXIS 205 doesn't require a direct connection to a PC. You can place the camera wherever your network goes.
 
The product's low price also means you can affordably install multiple AXIS 205 cameras in an area.

   The AXIS 205 Network Camera is so small and easy to use, you can place it virtually anywhere. It runs directly off your network, so unlike Webcams, you don't connect it to your computer. You simply connect the AXIS 205 to your network or an available port on your router using a standard network cable.

   What you need:

• Regular straight Ethernet cable

• An available port on your hub or router 

   Unlike Webcams, the AXIS 205 has its own IP address and a built-in Web server, so it does not require any additional software to operate. This allows it to send moving images through your router and right out on the Internet with no other hardware required.

The AXIS 205 supports up to 20 users simultaneously. You can even add password protection to restrict viewing. By using applications such as AXIS Camera Explorer or AXIS Camera Recorder, you can view multiple cameras simultaneously, record video and much more.
