Why even bother releasing without third party VMD now? Either wait until VMD works, or release as is but make the announcement at ISC West. If they would have waited, it probably would have been the big announcement at ISC.

I'm not sure what the strategy is. It feels like with 80$ per device is too expensive for what you get.
I'm guessing that things will improve over time but the price is too close to milestone essential license.
I understand that both MS and AX want to keep the appearance of an independent companies but I think the better strategy is keep being open but base your products on milestone at this stage.

Imagine if they gave away ACS for Axis cameras?
Imagine if Milestone gave away a camera with every license. :)

Ask the customer what features they feel are most needed that they are willing to pay for. Then compare those comments with one of the no license fee manufacturers. I bet most do not give a hoot about half the stuff and if they knew they could RECORD, PUSH to the CLOUD, and VIEW LIVE for free they would do it for FREE.

Was there an example video of the user basics I might have missed? Here is how what the start interface looks like... Here is how to bring up and change cameras... Here is how to change or choose your layout... Here is how to playback/rewind/jump to previous date and time in video ... Here is how to get to the Event List (if any)...
As for the software, it seems very behind established players in similar price ranges like DW Spectrum/NXWitness, Exacq Start and Pro, MS Essential (alreayd mentioned), etc. I guess their long term play is for people who want all Axis at the small to mid level installations...?

We reviewed the last few year's releases of Axis Camera Station, a client UX refresh and Manual Video Redaction being the primary significant changes, while overall the majority of new features have been incremental configuration changes (e.g. camera password management updates), minor UX updates (e.g. Touchscreen actions enabled, 3rd party fisheye dewarp) and bug fixes.
We have decided not to test currently but might in the future if Axis substantially improves ACS.
