Speaking as a person who has been involved in the search for someone who can write well and is knowledgeable in surveillance technology, I can tell you this: it is surprisingly difficult difficult to find someone who can write well and is knowledgeable in surveillance technology. That's why I'm always sympathetic when I see things like this.
Still, this is pretty bad. The difficulty of doing a job well doesn't excuse doing a job poorly.

It appears in Aus at least, that they've jumped on the right bandwagon this time.
About a month ago, they jumped into bed with Hik becoming Hik AU's 2nd authorised distributor.

Entertaining line card. q-see kt&c axis milestone exacq trendnet cisco microsemi. Sounds like they have a full range of products to bungle selling to IT departments used to trunkslamming their own video via purchases through CDW. Did anyone get a business card from TBD, the Inside Sales Supervisor?

Undisclosed Integrator #2
I was tempted to join Ingram recently, mainly because of long time experience on CCTV. Their first question was "how many customers can you bring to our company?" - and their second one was "who are they?"
Some friends working there, and managing more than 10 product lines by themselves, when it's supposed they should be "expert" on all that product lines. Of course, they aren't.
Not interested in technology, nor news or innovation, just getting figures quickly.
I joined another company.

Is not the point of content marketing to showcase your value and expertise, not to shine a light on how clueless one is?
