Ntitlequotlive View Axis 206mquot | Hot

1. Power Supply Mismatch (Most Common) The Axis 206M expects 8V to 20V DC. If you are using a cheap 12V power adapter that is failing or outputting 15V+, the voltage regulator inside the camera will burn off the excess voltage as heat.

2. IR Cut Filter Stuck (Mechanical Overheat) The camera uses a mechanical IR cut filter for day/night mode. When this filter fails (often due to dust), the motor continues to try and cycle, drawing current and creating friction heat.

3. Ambient Temperature + PoE Injection This camera uses a 2-wire terminal block. If you are using a passive PoE injector (not 802.3af standard), you may be sending too much voltage.

The Axis 206M is a major security risk if connected to the internet today. This is the most likely "hot" topic regarding the live view.

Believe it or not, how you use the Live View affects the camera's temperature. The MJPEG compression is computationally expensive.
