Now we know the meme has truly died.
Imagine the possibilities.
- Milestone guy challenges Genetec.
- Mobotix CEO challenges head of ONVIF.
- Avigilon's ex-CFO challenges the CEO.

Aug 23, 2014@Ari, unless you know this man, I would suggest you question the authenticity of this 'challenge' on the basis of several telling markers:
- Pants appear wet before dousing
- Water reclamation in position bucket below, (most useful in serial challenges)
- Wall to left appears splashed
- Addressing the challenged with somewhat rarely heard "Cameraman Ari Erenthal"*
- No actual ice bucket nor any actual ice in bucket
- Feigned exaggerated shiver
- Shot in the dark, when a lit, warmer area seems available behind
- Shot seated to make it easier on assistant's repeated lifting
- Challenger does not reflexively rise after 'ice water' drenching
Given your admirable stance on chariable terrorism, I believe you should insure that this is not the work of a serial bucketteer before complying.

Aug 24, 2014The deadline should be extended since the challenge was placed during Shabbat.

Aug 22, 2014Try the polar bear challenge in great lakes or alaska , that s a real challenge
otherwise its just childs play , no real challenge
Cold for a moment , then a little wet , then warm as usuall
High Country Swimming in Ice Lakes , Thats a real Challenge
My Scout master was 87 years old and would hike to the high country lakes to challenge all the boy scouts to a swim in the ice lakes every summer in the sierras of ca.

Aug 22, 2014When doing the Ice Bucket Challenge...make sure to check for power lines if the bucket needs to be raised more than 12 ft from the ground.
When the Ice Bucket Challenge Goes Awry:
"Campbellsville Police Chief Tim Hazlette said the power line was never touched Thursday morning, but it carried such a high voltage that it was able to energize the ladder truck, shocking the firefighters."

Aug 22, 2014Now Axis' founder has done the ice bucket challenge, calling out Genetec, Milestone and Convergint:
By the way, is he in Sweeden? How cold is it in Sweeden in August? It looks it.

Aug 23, 2014Add Tri-Ed to the list.
New acquirer Anixter has yet to take the challenge, perhaps feeling the deal itself was proof of their willingness to go "under water".

Aug 23, 2014Any word on the rumor that they may be challenging end-users directly?

Aug 25, 2014- Milestone guy challenges Genetec.
- Mobotix CEO challenges head of ONVIF.
- Avigilon's ex-CFO challenges the CEO.
I'm guessing the idea in general with these types of pairings is to for the challenger to demonstrate their unflappable willingness to back ALS, by intentionally challenging someone who they might not see eye to eye with, and putting aside any petty personal differences for the good of the cause.
With that in mind, one question remains for your inevitable outbound challenge:
B. Schmode or T. Rockoff? Or???
