OpenEye and Costco aren't being dishonest at all. Avertx is a costco operated and backed company, so costco is partnering with a surveillance company to create their own brand of surveillance equipment. Costco + OpenEye = AvertX . Costco sells the brand and runs the company while OpenEye provides products, support, and R&D. As someone who spent 4K+ on an AvertX system, I don't appreciate you rambling nonsense about how they've abandoned their trademark. They've abandoned their trademark because Costco lawyers advised management to abandoned it, not because they are going out of business. Before you go posting things you have know idea about please read between the lines and do some research, so you don't off and confuse other customers. How do I know this you ask... step 1: go to http://www.avertx.com/ step 2: locate the phone number (855-2AVERTX or 855-228-3789) step 3: call, and wait till someone answers the phone, and then do this amazing thing ask them!!!... They will tell you, when I asked the representative if they were going out of business he laughed. Then promptly replied "sir we are a Costco backed and operated company we aren't going out of business anytime soon... Unless Costco goes out of business". He then continued to answer any questions I had about the company.
