I have a whole bunch of brands. I wrote ONVIF stuff, some years back. I gave up on it, as the spec sucks.

Hikvision has probably been the best "all-around" camera, but they may be subject to import restrictions.

Axis is very good (but un-cheap). Bosch is crappy (and also un-cheap).

I have a Dahua, which is quite good. I also have a pretty good Panasonic.

Funnily enough, probably the most reliable camera that I have, is also the cheapest. It's a $40 FLIR "eyeball" camera (not an IR camera -it's an OEM Chinese camera that several manufacturers rebrand).

A bunch of my cameras are obviously just rebrands of the same cheap crap. The software is abominable.
