The best camera I've found to date is the Axis M1011. I haven't played with the M1013. I'm still working on the MS HD-3000. Short version is, it's whichever one you can control the most easily. I know enough about the Axis M1011 to lock down all the settings I need to in about 5 minutes through the web interface. i'm still writing custom code to properly control the MS HD3000 and control its settings.
