The Axis 211W Network Camera offers optimal flexibility through either a wireless IEEE 802.11g/b connection to the network or a wired Ethernet connection supporting Power over Ethernet. Either connection helps facilitate convenient installation and relocation, which can be helpful for any installation that has a need for flexibility in the placement of the camera. The omni-directional indoor antenna included with the Axis 211W Network Cameras is exchangeable for further flexibility.

For example, the network camera has IPv6 support, which protects against the growing shortage of IPv4 addresses, and Quality of Service (QoS), which enables the reservation of network capacity and the prioritization of mission-critical surveillance data in appropriate networks. Network security features include support for Enterprise or Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) for wireless communication, HTTPS encryption as well as IEEE 802.1X network access control for both wireless and wired connection to the network.
The Axis 211W Network Camera has two-way audio functionality to enable users to listen in on an area and communicate with visitors or intruders as needed. The network camera also provides a detection alarm at a configurable audio level. Axis 211W supports the industry standard Axis application programming interface (API), Axis VAPIXTM API, which facilitates the development of customized software solutions and ensures compatibility with the market's widest range of third-party video management software available from Axis Application Development Partners (ADPs) as well as the Axis Camera Station video management software.
