DVR manufacturers moving away from DVR appliances?

Recommended Posts

Have you been noticing the move for many large DVR manufacturers to move away from selling their own DVR appliances?

 

In the last few years, AD, Verint, NICE, Integral, etc have all started to offer their software without the hardware. Today, March Networks announced that their new VideoSphere line would run on Sun's hardware.

 

I agree with many others on this board that March produces high quality appliances, so I find this strange.

 

I have written up a more detailed view: http://ipvideomarket.info/review/show/11 on this phenomenon.

 

 

Are you moving away from selling or using DVR appliances? Do you think this is a good idea?

Nice article!!!

 

I loved this part!

 

The biggest growth area in surveillance for the next number of years is super large deployments - schools, cities, bases, nations, etc. Traditional DVR markets like hospitals, retailers small/medium businesses are fairly saturated with DVRs at this point so you are mainly competing on upgrade rather than greenfield business. If, you are like March, in need of large top line growth and you already dominate a lot of the classic DVR market, this is the area where you can find it.

 

You pretty much hit that on the head!
