Even more shocking for those that have followed Nelson's remarks, he is now carrying Axis:
Totally unauthorized I have to believe but still, I never thought I would see the day...

It goes to show that no matter how deeply "Homer" you go with a product you can only take so much and have to do something else, and he is selling Axis!

Good move for Sean and his team. Simplification is important. Most of our customers could care less about the dozens of unused features in a cameras UI. Most of our SMB customers don’t even have access to the UI. For us all our power is in the VMS and it almost doesn’t matter what camera is on the other end. As long as it works, has a good image quality and is built to last we really don’t care about features beyond WDR when needed. I’m not saying we’re going to put goswift in a building that’s regularly inspected by some government agency. But for homeowners? Maybe we can make our VMS more affordable for them by using goswift. Who knows. I don’t rule anything out until I try it.

Thank you for the favorable review. As promised, I will send you the NBA playoff tickets and the gift card to Hawaiin HeartBeats Gentlemens Club. Also, with a possibility of this being the highest rated article on IPVM of all time, i would suggest promoting this on facebook. It would really help both of our sales I believe. Thanks in advance!
And just to clear up the title a tad, we are not GoSwifting elsewhere. We are just going in many directions. Expanding. Our Long Term Goal is to be the biggest security distributor on the planet and the thinking was we cannot do that with just one manufacturer, or one type of product. We still got a long ways to go.

Not really surprised to see this, it was kind of inevitable.
Hikvision wants more business done under their own brand, not through small OEMs. Nelly's (and other niche OEMs) have better opportunities now to find new OEMs that will hopefully give them some better differentiators.
Good to see the upstream move towards Axis as well.
Before you know it, Nelly will have also figured out why Genetec can charge 3000% more than a disposable NVR.

Best of luck Sean! Hope the line sells well.
We generally prefer Axis or Hikvision units for their accessory selection and reliability. We have found that some of these lower end camera brands don't have a lot of choice when it comes to accessories, but I think that's beside the point of a product like this. We like having a matching junction box for bullets. A lot of Hikvision bullets are including the junction box now, which is nice. My pet peeve is a bullet with a whip, but no junction box to house it. Exposed wiring looks messy and invites problems down the road.
