Canon Acquires Briefcam, Now Owns Briefcam, Milestone and Axis

Author: John Honovich, Published on May 09, 2018

Canon already owns two of the biggest names in video surveillance, Axis (acquired in 2015) and Milestone (acquired in 2014).

Now, Canon has acquired Briefcam, the most well-known specialist in video search.

In this note, we examine:

  • Briefcam's current business position and growth, based on a recent conversation with Briefcam's CEO.
  • How Briefcam will likely interact (or not) with Axis and Milestone
  • How the Canon / Axis / Briefcam / Milestone combination will compare against Motorola / Avigilon
  • Briefcam's V5 Expansion
