I tried Axis around 10 years ago, and yes it was very expensive, $300 for a tiny 802.11b/g-only device when N had already been around for a while was a hard pill to swallow, but I was assured by gstreamer devs that they do in fact use gstreamer itself, write their own firmware, and that they're supposed to be better than the Chinese stuff... however my own experience with them was just as bad if not worse... with all 3 units I purchased. Needless to say I have no desire to try them again.
