"The Only People Making Money Selling Axis Is Axis."

I am not defending Axis's partner program. I just wanted to ask if you were a partner because I have talked with many installers that buy Axis and didn't know you get better pricing as a partner.

I do really like Axis's product as when you start using VAPIX commands and integrating axis audio, radar, cameras, intercoms, network I/O and access control it is very powerful. I think their higher-end cameras are really good but the partner program is a PITA. If we could make the margin we need on Axis we would sell more of it but Avigilon, Hanwha and Ava make it so much easier to give them money that is what we lead with.
