Exacq Unbreaks Avigilon Integration

Author: IPVM Team, Published on Oct 18, 2017

For nearly 4 years, Exacq had broken and effectively blocked use with Avigilon cameras, as IPVM reported in January 2014.

Now, Exacq has 'unbroken' this integration, which we see as being a warming of relations between the two companies. In this note, we examine what happened technically and what this signals about the relationship between the companies.
