Axis 205 Network Camera
USB Webcams are ten a penny these days, but they generally suffer from moderate image quality, low frame rates and lack flexibility (these are ‘dumb’ devices that must be tethered to a PC running the requisite software). By contrast, even an entry-level network camera such as the £139 (ex. VAT) Axis 205 delivers good resolution and decent frame rates; also, thanks to its built-in Linux OS and Web server software, it can operate independently anywhere there’s a network connection. If you want to monitor your home or your business remotely, or stream live video onto your Web site, the Axis 205 Network Camera is an excellent starting point.
