Axis says the replacement is a AXIS M1011 if that helps.

Also if you have a contact at Honeywell Security I know that they use them, and they may be able to get you a few.

Thats the site that our team is buying a spare camera from. The 206 is not made any more but the 207 is a close match. The P-N is 0235-004. Its about 75-100 dollars more then the 206. Its cost is $275. I hope this helps

Using Google shopping we were able to find several locations that still had several cameras left at a reasonable price. Do some searching and you can still find the Axis 206 for sale.

The Axis cameras internally use an API that works across their product line. Being the lowest price they sell, anything that worked on the 206 pretty much worked on other cameras such as the 207. At least in theory, and we have never had a 207 to test on.

The 1011 has passed initial tests, but we haven't done thorough ones yet.

Thank you Greg, we have ordered a backup camera (M1011). Please keep us updated if you find any problems or software changes for the new camera.
