By: Sean Patton, Published on Apr 03, 2019

Airship has been developing VMS software for over 10 years, however, with no outside investment, and minimal marketing, the company is not well known.

But who is Airship? We spoke to them about their VMS, why they stopped OEMing Hikvision in 2017, their focus on public safety solutions and migration toward a PSIM-lite, Internet-of-Things data-driven system, and plans for growth.
