We have an AXIS 205.  Piece of cake to setup.  Takes less than 5 minutes.
Wish we could have afforded the high end ones with pan/tilt/zoom.

It is used indoors in our lab.  AXIS has  versions for outdoor use.

You can access the images via the http (maybe even ftp) server running on 
the box.  We had a guy write a quick 10-20 line perl app which grabbed the 
image via a URL.
The only problem is that we have a fixed lens and wish we had a zoom lens. 
 We have to place the camera about 1.5 feet in front of some equipment to 
read the LEDs.
It is a pretty wide angle.

[Cialug] Axis web cameras







Has anyone had any experience with the Axis line of network cameras?  I
understand they have linux embedded.

Was it easy to use/configure, did you set it up outdoors or indoors?  Did
you use it as is, or access it through a program to grab images?

Thanks.

-Nate
