Which of the two IP camera below would you say was better and why? Or
is there anything else you would recommend at this price range?
<�250.00. I tried to list a few plus points for each cam but still
find it difficult to choose between the two. I think the Panasonic is
seeming like good value, but the Axis has the F2 lens, is wireless and
the axis you tube video is pretty impressive.
