Wireless network cameras combine Wi-Fi and Ethernet
A 2006 product description from Axis Communications presented a network camera with both IEEE 802.11g wireless and Ethernet interfaces.
What was announced or reported
The stated purpose was flexible placement where a wired network outlet was inconvenient. The record says the camera had its own IP address and built-in web server, allowing several authorised viewers to access video over a local network or remotely.
Context and limits
It also named WPA and WPA2 support as wireless security measures. This replacement retains the interface and security concepts while omitting the original promotional claims about quality, coverage and affordability.
Why the distinction matters
A wireless camera still requires attention to radio coverage, access control and power at the installation point. The older product description explains the networked-camera model, but it does not independently test image quality, range or remote-access security. No current product availability or support status is claimed.
