Avigilon Launches 'Renewed Products Program'

By IPVM Team, Published on Mar 19, 2019

There are lots of 'pre-owned' cars but pre-owned IP cameras?

While such programs are common in other industries, in video surveillance, they are rare. Now, Avigilon has launched what it calls a 'renewed products program'.

In this note, we examine the program, share feedback from Avigilon and compare it to other approaches used in video surveillance.
