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.
