I wouldn't give much credence to anything Anixter pushes, especially in the surveillance arena. I've had to teach a few Anixter salespeople basic concepts about surveillance equipment over the years since they were generally clueless.

From Anixter's Q4 2012 management call transcript, "We also achieved a significant milestone in our Security business, exceeding $1 billion in annual sales for the first time."

And to whom do they primarily sell? IT people.
Not to say there aren't IT people who know surveillance, just that there are a lot more who don't have in-depth knowledge in both categories.

Anixter doesn't seem have a problem when we buy analog cameras from them ;) They did recommended IP centric lines and recommend we have a third party VMS to sell but I don't hear any complains when we install Axis Camera Compaion or when we purchase analog cameras from them.
