Because the Axis 206M is an older model (discontinued, with firmware versions often around 4.20), you may encounter specific issues getting the live view to function.
Unlike modern cameras that rely heavily on H.264 or H.265 video codecs, the Live View on the Axis 206M primarily relies on Motion JPEG (M-JPEG). The ARTPEC-2 chip compresses every individual frame into a separate JPEG image. When streamed consecutively at high speeds (up to 30 frames per second at lower resolutions), these JPEGs create the illusion of smooth live video. 2. The Internal Web Server Architecture
When you access the live view, the camera processes raw data from the image sensor, compresses it into individual JPEG frames (for M-JPEG) or temporary video containers (for MPEG-4), and serves them over an HTTP or RTSP connection. Because it lacks modern hardware-accelerated encoding, high frame rates at full resolution require steady network bandwidth and direct, unmonitored streams.

For advanced users, the Axis 206M allows you to customize the HTML of the Live View page. Using the "Live View Config" tools, you can hide the Axis logo, remove the setup links for regular users, or add a custom company logo. You can also embed the raw stream into a custom HTML page on your local hard drive or a website using the <img> tag with the HTTP URL, though this will require a Java applet or constant page refresh to see movement.
However, because M-JPEG is a "multipart" stream, not all HTTP video players support it natively. You can also add parameters to the string to adjust the video quality on the fly: Because the Axis 206M is an older model
If you are using IE mode, you must install the proprietary Axis Media Control plugin to handle the video stream decoder. Access the camera’s web interface.

These people had bought "state-of-the-art" network cameras for security, but they had forgotten the most important step: changing the default password.
