I am not sure how IndigoVision is considered "open platform" comparable with Exacq or Milestone.
While Indigo supports ONVIF, that is the extent of it. There are no custom camera drivers to any extent, and the few drivers they do support require expensive gateways with limited bandwidth

Certainly Alex and his extensive team of lawyers will be busy figuring out how to sue these folks. If IndigoVision isn't on the list of companies included in the Avigilon non-compete employment agreements, it is now!
Not hard to figure out why people could be quite easily woo'd from one gig to another. When a CEO lacks leadership, charisma, respect for his employees, respect by his employees, decency, and professionalism - there comes a point where the paycheck isn't enough for top performers. If sales territories keep shrinking while quotas go up - there is only one winner - the company, and the CEO (perhaps also a majority shareholder and top bonus earner).

How many of those new employees listed had other positions between their stint at Avigilon and Indigo Vision and how many of them will be fighting no compete contracts? Just seems a bit messy to me.

Indigo tried to recruit multiple other current and past Avigilon employees, including me. It seems that the product lineup was the biggest hurdle for most people. Compared to Avigilon, quotas were tiny. It's easy to get sales people excited about the potential upside.

I spent an hour or so at the IndigoVision booth in Vegas. The person who demoed the system to me could not even navigate the software. It was painful to watch him struggle.
I don't think Avigilon has anything to worry about.

IndigoVision has strong open credentials. Historically we had a proprietary solution but that was because there were no open standards in those days. Since 2010, IndigoVision has been involved with and contributed to the development of the ONVIF standard. We base our solution on ONVIF but through our Camera Gateway and Video Stream Manager products we also support a wide range of 3rd-party cameras. Our Camera Gateway and Video Stream Manager software products are available free-of-charge to our customers and do not require expensive hardware to run on. 3rd-party cameras are licensed at the same price as IndigoVision cameras so we are not closing our system commercially either.
The last point I would like to make is that our openness is not just about bringing 3rd-party cameras in to Control Center. Our range of SDKs are also available free-of-charge to our partners and these allow integration both in and out of our system for video and alarms.

Indigovision are 'obsessed' with the success AVIGILON has and are doing everything trying to copy this including hiring as many (ex) AVIGILON employees as possible. That statement btw came direct from an Indigo employee. But then Indigovision aren't the only manufacturer deploying these tactics, a certain Chinese manufacturer is doing the same waving big bags of money. I think it's all quite funny in a sad way. All I can do is wish them all the best!

With Indigo's revolving door, I expect most of them to be gone within a year. They change management styles like most of us change shoes.

UPDATE - Sal Mastropole is now at March Networks, based on his LinkedIn profile, which also makes no mention of IndigoVision.
