I had excluded Axis for this same reason. Having used Axis at work, I thought they only made professional level cameras; for personal usage, I was definitely not planning to spend that much.
Instead, AXIS M1054, for example, costs 300 Euros circa, and is "HD" (actually 1280x800) and PoE. Great!

Thank you Andym for pointing it out. That's exactly what I was looking for!

Also, the DB is really useful!

Thanks Guys!
