Network Camera
################################################
It looks like a standard webcam, but the Axis 205 is cleverer than that. Its internal web server and 10/100 Ethernet port mean it can be directly connected to and accessed by anyone on the network.
The 205 prefers it if you have a DHCP server. Setting up a static IP address isn’t difficult, though, using a command-line ARP (address resolution protocol) call to associate the MAC address with an IP address, or by a downloadable sniffer utility.
Axis’ preferred method of installation is via the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS Service, which is activated by a button on the back of the camera. After this, it hooks itself up to the net and contacts Axis’ website. The site then assigns the camera its own external IP address and a DNS name, after which it’s accessible via the internet at large.
The camera again automatically contacts the Axis site if its internal IP address lease expires, and if you’re not using the Dynamic DNS Service you can configure the camera with SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) settings so it’s able to send you an email whenever the address gets reassigned. There’s no provision for going via HTTP proxy servers, though, which sadly rules out external access for many company networks.
Testing across a 100Mb/s network, its framerate at the maximum 640 x 480 resolution was above 20fps, and image quality was easily sufficient for standard surveillance and monitoring purposes.
The camera’s configuration options were extremely comprehensive. Administrator and guest viewer accounts can be set up and, to avoid saturating the network, administrators are able to bring the resolution down to either 320 x 240 or 160 x 120, adjust compression from a choice of four settings, and cap maximum framerate per user at any level. The live feed can be overlaid with a line of text for ease of distinction between multiple cameras, as well as current date and time.
For semi-covert surveillance, the front-mounted operation LED may be turned off, or to be less sinister it can flash to indicate that the camera is being accessed.
Even the look of the internal web server’s pages may be changed, including options for adding a company logo image and link, and a background image. Company roll-outs are further catered for with the ability to download all settings to a local file and upload them to the same or a different camera.
The feed to Internet Explorer can come via an ActiveX control, Java applet or individual still images. Other browsers are less well catered for, with only server-push streaming or still image capture available. The push option worked well enough with Mozilla Firebird, but it refused to work using Safari on an OS X Mac, and Internet Explorer for Mac under both OS 10.2 and 10.3 only worked after a fashion, with an almost unwatchable, highly flickery image.
Given the obvious primary use of the Axis – surveillance – we were surprised the one thing the firmware lacked was motion detection; with its built-in SMTP functions, it’s a shame the camera can’t be set up to mail a snapshot to a pre-configured address when it detects movement.
Despite this limitation, though, the Axis does its job exceedingly well. It’s stable too: several days of multiple users being connected simultaneously didn’t cause it any problems.
If you’ve a need for remote monitoring or surveillance over the network, the Axis is a fine choice, just as long as you’re using a Windows platform.

YIKES!
I hope my boss doesn't know about these because he would set one of these up to see what I'm up to during the day.

Re: I need a Security, Net, or Hidden Camera
Time laps Video Surveillance Hidden Camera:
# Get notified via E-mail with image attachment when motion is detected!
# Setup your own Web Surveillance site! Setup GOTCHA! to post (using FTP) images created when motion is detected. Acts just like a webcam but displays the detected motion!
# Get Paged when GOTCHA! catches something!
# View live or recorded video remotely! Use GView (beta version) to call GOTCHA! on remote PC to view the remote live or recorded video over the telephone line. Refer to Help file for setup and more details.
# Password Protection allows you to hide GOTCHA! upon startup within the system tray as a unsuspecting icon. If clicked on, it will prompt the user for a password.
# Playback the entire day's events (or week's events) in one video timestamped file using minimal disk storage!
# Alert with Audio Message when people come into your office while you are away!
# Mask out unwanted movement, like people walking past your cubicle or traffic outside your window!
# Use the Timer to schedule when GOTCHA! should observe! Schedule multiple sessions per day.
# Need a science experiment for your kid? Have GOTCHA! record the minute movements of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon or a seedling sprouting from the dirt by using GOTCHA!'s Dynamic Profile mode of recording.
# Extensive Context Sensitive Help.
# Warning beep if the camera is somehow physically disconnected.
# Dying to play that video game, but you're at work? Use GOTCHA! to look over your shoulder for you. GOTCHA! will minimize your game and activate your work application in a second.
Recycle Video Files
Under Options > Properties > Recording, you can select the option to recycle your video files after a specified number of video files created is reached. This feature is especially useful when you are low on disk space and wish to reserve a specified block of disk space for GOTCHA! to use.
JPEG Image Creation
Upon detecting motion GOTCHA! can save the image directly to a JPEG file on your local drive. This makes it easier to upload and or email. Ability to capture snapshots in JPEG format is now available as well.
Password Protection!
GOTCHA! can now be completely hidden with password protection and a hide feature upon startup. This way when your computer restarts or is turned on GOTCHA! will secretively start within your system tray. If click on it will prompt the user for a password. GOTCHA! can be set to automatically monitor upon startup or set to a timer schedule.
E-mail Notification!
GOTCHA! has the ability to send image files upon detecting motion. Get notified via e-mail if someone has entered your home or simply get snap shots of the people who visit your front door.
Create Your Own Web Surveillance site!
Create you own Web Surveillance page! Setup GOTCHA! to upload (FTP) image files to your website upon detecting motion. It's easy!!Comment
