Good article!
Just a few my words on subject.
What is also important when you select your IP camera is the compatibility with good video monitoring software IMHO.
For example, if you have a look on then it is obvious many software supports just some popular camera models. And it is possible you will wait for months till a some new model of IP camera will be supported by software developers.
