Hi John, thanks for the report. It was an interesting read to get an idea of end users spend this year and a percentage break down. Happy new year to you and your Team. Keep up the great work and hope 2015 is a good year for you.
Surveillance End User Spending Outlook 2015
IPVM surveyed 75 end user members asking about their plans for spending on surveillance systems in 2015. The open ended question asked was:
"In 2015, how will your budget / resources / funding for video surveillance changed compared to 2014? More? Less? Same? Why?"
Inside, we share results and color commentary from these end users.
