What's happening to the routes to market for Video Surveillance products - Major end user buying direct from the manufacturer / Distributors selling direct to end users and System Integrators buying direct from the manufacturer. The 'race to the bottom" has no doubt influenced the change in the traditional Manufacturer / Distributor / System Integrator / End user route. But does integration, VSaaS and the Cloud give the SI more leverage to buy direct from the Manufacturer. What proportion of sales do you expect to be handled direct from the manufacturer to the System Integrator route this year.
