If I'm a founder I'm probably not interested in diluting my equity position unless there is a clear target(s) in mind, even at market price. Are they selling company owned shares or printing them up?

I'm guessing it's a network-enabled intrusion system. That may not be the only thing the acquired company sells, but that's the last item on the mainstream buyer's checklist when they build a security technologies program. Avigilon could then present an all-Avigilon suite in the places where Honeywell, Tyco, UTC and Bosch offerings would be considered.
DMP seems like the right size, technology and location.
