The autofocus is better than any camera I have seen.  It is so sharp, you need to see it yourself to appreciate it.  It has a built in web server, security and options.  This camera was ahead of its time.  I buy high quality new cameras today that are not as good as this.  It is interesting to note that the cost of this camera had gone up each year after I bought it.  It has fallen a few times because it was not mounted.  Although still works great after falling, you can hear a rattle inside when you shake it.  The ONLY reason I am giving it up is because it isn't compatible with the New Axis Camera Station software that we have purchased.
