I still havnt bought an IP camera yet. The Axis P1347 is nice, but its just too expensive, so I might get the ACTI-5211e. I have a few questions maybe you guys can answer. The ACTI-5211e ??? 1. Acti said i had to leave my computer ON 24/7 for recording to work, if i turn off comp, then camera wont record, damn, why,and i think camera has SD card, so what the ??? 2.The frames per second on this camera are 8fps @ 2032 x 1920, 15fps @ 1920 x 1080, which i think are ok, your thought ? 3.This camera 5211e vs 5211 has a IR. I will be using this camera inside directly against a glass window, Will the IR be affected by the glass ? I want the IR so my night shots are better. 4.This camera has DC iris vs Axis's P-iris. I know P-iris is better, but by how much ? 5. Lastly, the cost of this camera(acti 5211e) is approx $715. The Axis P1347 is approx $1160. Is the $450-$500 worth it to get Axis instead. I'm using the camera for front of house, direct range needed, approx 30'(1080p), and 60', for farther activity(720p). thanks guys

this is basically what im trying to say. Basically what im looking for is the following : a good quality camera, 1080p resolution, dont know if i need megapixel or not, but people say megapixel is better when zooming a screenshot for better / sharper images. The logitech 750i camera i have now cant even show facial recognition , licence plate quality from 15 ft. thats pathetic !!!!!

DAMNNNNNNN it !!!!!!! why does this have to be so difficult for me, haaaa, j/k, rant here !!!! I actually decided on getting the AXIS P1347,non "e", and mounting it against the window of my house square, just as i have my logitech 750i. The rreason i wanted the AXIS P1347 was for its sharpness,resolution. I dont need ZOOM, but the ACTI 5211(e) has great resolution, and cost only about $700 vs AXIS P1347 of $1200. Basically what im looking for is the following : a good quality camera, 1080p resolution, dont know if i need megapixel or not, but people say megapixel is better when zooming a screenshot for better / sharper images. The logitech 750i camera i have now cant even show facial recognition , licence plate quality from 15 ft. thats pathetic !!!!! i want a camera with good field of view, as much as possible,1080p,$700 range. WHAT CAN I GET !!!!!!!!!!! HELPPPP !!!!! PLZ !!!!! and i have to use the camera inside and mount it against my window square against glass. I cannot have it outside for 2 reasons : 1. association wont allow it. i live in townhouse complex. 2. dont want neighbors to feel they lost privacy. anybodys help would be greatly appreciated, immensly !!!!! also, i have a 250watt motion activated flood lamp, so i dont know if i really even need a IR camera ??? but it would be nice to have.

thanks for your reply. As far as the inside mounted camera. I'm currently using the Logitech 750i camera, and i have it mounted directly square against the glass window of my house, and the image is working ok, but the camera does not have IR. Will the Acti have a problem with JUST the IR reflection not working correctly or the ACTUAL image itself, because like i said, the Logitech camera i have is working ok against the glass, and its an inside camera. thanks for your help , i appreciate it alot.
