Where are they made?

Axis has added a 30 second marketing video for this line, not a lot there but adding for reference:
One interesting note is they do the golf ball size comparison, like Avigilon's from years ago. However, Axis says that, unlike the Avigilon one, they do not require a dongle that Avigilon did.

If it was ONVIF compliant, I know that I would have a lot of interest in this model. But, it's hard to pick it if it doesn't work with standard VMS systems.

Axis is basically playing catch up, they are not surpassing their rivals. What reason would a HIK dealer have to switch to Axis? HIK 1080p IP camera is $100, built-in IR, can be used indoor or outdoor and is compatible with every VMS. Axis $100 camera indoor only and Axis VMS only, no so apps and PC-only. Axis should at minimum meet HIK's feature set if they want to compete.

I got scared for a minute, and then I saw that it only works with their Companion NVR, so it's not a threat to us the way the Hanwha Wisenet Q series cameras are.

Axis, if you're reading this, please bump to 3mp and make outdoor version w/ onvif and I'll happily promote / sell for you. Thank you!

Seems to me that anyone who jumped on the low cost Axis camera train would be doing so, at least in part, because they have more trust in Axis than Hik. This could be an attempt to exploit the fact Hik has been getting such a bad wrap lately. I doubt Axis would have put in the effort if they didn't spot weakness.

In order for us to compete with some jobs that come across we use the Axis Companion system. Works very well for what it is. One interesting note is you have to put away your My theory is that sometime down the road you will be able to purchase a firmware upgrade key to turn on VAPIX or onvif. Just my opinion though.

IMO, this is another failed product release.
Indoor Only
No Onvif
2MP only
This will neither appeal to Hik buyers or Axis buyers.
Would it have really been that much more to make the darn thing Onvif.
