P1447-LE is sold for over $500 used. What is it that's inside of that camera, which makes it so pricey?!

It's a workhorse. It operates at a decent resolution/FPS, as security cameras go, it can handle pretty much any weather conditions, and Axis will stand by it if it breaks.

It also, relevantly for this thread, will do standard video transmission w/o any cloud/app components.

Most camera you get that are cheaper are trading off in one or more of these areas to recoup cost.

The fact that someone will reply to your support email and fix bugs?
And not supply your video feed to the CCP.
