They might not be bust. But let me tell you, they are still are bad as they ever were. The issues are still the same and the fundamental cause of all their problems still remains, and thats Mike and Pauline. And until both of them leave, then there is no real long term future for this netvu.

 

Stay away people, stay well away from DM

As previously mentioned stay well away from this 'company' they are virtually just Mike and Pauline plus their cat. They screwed a lot of people, closing names of companies and debt, laying people off but some how managing to keep the bit that could make a little bit of money for the people owed! SCUM

 

From inside the company I can tell you the quality is awful, the technology outdated and Mike is so out of touch with reality he still thinks he is some kind of guru, yeah you stopped being relevant 15 years ago! He is a nasty little man, who is spiteful and as his attacks on John Honovich show has no idea about running a company.. David Brent springs to mind

You may have valid points about Mike but John Honovich is not the shining light you make him out to be. He is just as nasty and spiteful as you claim Mike is.

DM dvrs were terrible, dont know how they even got the sales they did. Sanyo werent much better, visilynx was my top in the analogue hayday

[cctvmann 0]

ive always liked the dm stufff but found it a right pain the software was on the hdd not the memory of the dvr, ive started moving to hik vision now because of the hasslle of the software on the dvr hdd where hikvision has the embedded software on the pcb chip and it has more useability

Please explain. I know he tends to be pretty abrasive over the phone but is he also putting false information on his site?

LOL. John Honovich is, and always will be a pompous ass. He has his favorite manufacturers and if you, as a manufacturer, don't bow to him, he'll blackball you. I believe bowing includes providing him with free products to "test".

 

One example: he constantly bashed one manufacturer. When asked if he had ever tested any of their products, he ranted about how they are proprietary and he won't test proprietary products. When I pointed out that their equipment is ONVIF compliant, he completely ignored that and bashed them some more. I never got a straight answer from him on the nature of his real problem with them and when I questioned him again, he ranted at me, down-voted every one of my posts and argued with me about every one of my posts - even on unrelated subjects.

 

It got so bad I quit IPVM. The SOB never even refunded the balance of my membership fees. I've been told he continues to bash me whenever my name comes up, like when someone asks why I don't post anymore.

 

I don't work for the company in question but we use their VMS and products. Very happy with both.

Carl, All,

 

A few points of information:

 

- We (IPVM) bought at least $20,000 worth of cameras for testing last year. We prefer to buy our own.

- As for the one manufacturer you claim we 'constantly' bash, you are referring to the system you bought for your site (IndigoVision). We have tested IndigoVision's products but we have not tested them in the last few years because their market position has shrank significantly. Recognizing their challenges, IndigoVision has shifted their strategy in the past year https://ipvm.com/reports/indigovision-vms?code=cf

- Regarding your accusation that I did not refund your membership, we actually gave you extra $23.45 credit (nearly 3 more months) for commenting after you cancelled, and you replied, "LOL. I cancelled my membership weeks ago."

 

 

We take our independence seriously and strive to be fair and accurate. I hope this helps clarify to CCTV Forum members our position and actions.

"Their market position has shrank"? To which market are you referring? Certainly not the casino industry. But then again, your coverage of that industry was always poor, at best, and with my departure from your site, it apparently became nearly nonexistent, as relayed to me by several of your members.

 

Your article on IndigoVision by Brian Karas (Published on Oct 12, 2016) states:

"Software-Only Sales

Control Center will be installable on standard PC/Server hardware, allowing customers to purchase only licenses and use their own hardware, a change from the previous bundled hardware/software NVR approach."

- IndigoVision's Control Center and the associated recording software NVR-AS has been available as a software-only product since at least mid-2013, which is when we bought it. IndigoVision does recommend Dell products and their computer hardware offering is basically Dell but it can be installed on pretty much any Windows 7+ compatible hardware. In fact our system isn't IndigoVision's advertised hardware but Dell servers and RAID systems. We've also successfully installed Control Center on a 5 year old Core 2 hp tower computer.

 

IndigoVision has also published generic equipment recommendations for their software for at least as long; specifying things like CPU, RAM and GPU needs for different streaming capabilities.

 

The most laughable statement you made is "we actually gave you extra $23.45 credit (nearly 3 more months) for commenting after you cancelled". WTF is that supposed to mean? After I cancelled? How magnanimous of you to give someone you basically hounded off their site a credit after they cancelled their membership. You're the bomb!
