Title: Not very long lived.
Product review: Bought my 206 last year from a friend who had only used it for a few months. The camera was well cared for and was in original packaging. The camera lasted me less than a year before it started failing intermittently. Finally last week it crashed and won't come back up at all. It shows a green light until I plug it into the network whereupon the orange fail light starts flashing. It's not accessible over the network. (Yes, I tried resetting it, restarting it and all the troubleshooting steps on Axis' web site and a few other things--wasted a lot of time on it.)Before that I was very pleased with the camera--good interface, good picture quality, very nice low-light image. The downward-facing LAN jack is a little annoying as the LAN cable tends to tip the camera over. I fixed that by mounting the camera stand to a heavier wood base. I'm debating whether to buy a new one--I can't afford to be buying these every year. What ever happened to the 3 year warranty on electronics?
