Just a guess... I doubt that ObjectVideo had that many employees left... but it's possible that ObjectVideo still had accrued losses totaling millions of dollars (especially if the sale of IP assets to Avigilon was structured to minimize tax gains). That may still be worth millions of dollars for a profitable US-based acquirer like Alarm.com.
