Sep 29, 2014According to Axis, it's 'next gen' Dell hardware not available on the general website.
Whatever the Dell model, I don't think it will make a big difference for people deploying a few dozen cameras.

This IS Axis afterall, the same people who deployed Axis Camera Companion. ;)

Sep 30, 2014I don't know why most manufacturers (camera ones or even VMS) follow the path of HW because the future is SW. Building a NVR is no added value, nothing that we did not see already. Developing SW is adding value to HW, that's where the industry is moving. In addition, to copy a SW is not that easy as copying a NVR or whatever server.
My 2 cents...

Feb 03, 2015Could it be that selling HW has the following benefits in compare with software:
- no compatibility issues
- no software piracy
- less tech support burden
?

Feb 03, 2015However, it in a similar price range to big name NVRs with comparable feature sets.
But do the big name NVRs that you refer to also feature seamless single manufacturer lock-in? Or is that what differentiates the Axis' offering?
