At F2, no sign of a DC iris lens so daylight performance might be
compromised.

Where is this camera to be used, inside or out? Outside is a very
demanding enviroment from the exposure point of view, a fixed iris
lens isn't really suitable. Under controlled or indoor situations it's
not so much of an issue.

Axis have recently introduced a new camera, the 211 (don't confuse it
with the 2110), that looks very interesting. It has F1.0 DC iris lens
and covers 0.75 to 500,000 lux. And a 1/4" Sony HAD CCD rather than a
CMOS sensor, pity it's not a 1/3" CCD.

Pity there are no sample images from any of those cameras, the "live
view" needs a plugin.

Using a housing is a fairly normal way of protecting a camera rather
than the actual camera casing being weather proof.
