Wireless Network Security Cameras

For optimal installation flexibility, AXIS 211W offers either a wireless connection to the network, or a wired connection supporting Power over Ethernet. The camera only needs one outlet - either power or network - which facilitates installation or relocation, e.g. when monitoring product campaigns.

AXIS 211W provides high-performance wireless transmission with a wide coverage range according to the IEEE 802.11g standard, as well as backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b. The omni-directional indoor antenna, which is included in the AXIS 211W shipment, is exchangeable for further flexibility.

AXIS 211W Network Camera is a high-performance camera designed for professional video surveillance, offering the choice of either a wireless or a wired connection to the network. AXIS 211W provides superior image quality thanks to its progressive scan sensor and advanced image processing. This makes AXIS 211W ideal for the video surveillance of locations such as retail stores, offices, hotels and university campuses.

System Overview

• Loudspeaker: Give instructions, orders or provide help by connecting
  a loudspeaker to the camera.
• Microphone: Use the built-in microphone or an external audio device
  to listen in on an area.
• Access point: Connect the camera to the network via a wireless access point.
• PoE switch: Facilitate the installation by powering the cameras and/or
  the wireless access points via a Power over Ethernet-enabled switch.
• PC with video management software: Monitor, record and play
  back video.
• PC: Monitor the cameras remotely over the WAN or Internet network.

Outdoor wireless coverage

If the distance between camera and access point is short and the thickness of the wall is reasonable, AXIS 211W can be installed outdoors with its standard indoor antenna inside a plastic housing, communicating with a wireless access point with antenna placed indoors.

However, a wall, or even a window, between the antennas does affect the signal quality. For longer distances, the recommendation is to use outdoor antennas. It is recommended that the camera antenna be installed in clear line of sight and at the same height as the access point’s antenna. To protect your network from strokes of lightning, use a lightning protector.

The outdoor camera antenna and lightning protector are available as accessories from Axis.

The table below describes the installation options for the antennas and the corresponding typical coverage range.
