Did they hint as to whether it was open platform or proprietary?

I'd love to see a company take the best of every VMS (Talk to the end-users) and go about making a VMS that is open to most cameras and one that is intuitive and actually 'fun' to use. I thought Pelco Endura had some good points like easy navigation and clear interface. I really like the system utilities feature also. NX Witness has some great features, and is easy to use right after installation. I've been exposed Honeywell Maxpro VMS, and it's wrought with issues, and Honeywell would do well to investigate other VMSes and see what features are possible, and also realize that basic system stability and playback are the foundation of a great VMS. Exacqvision does an excellent job at packing features into a user-friendly VMS, and Avigilon is fairly easy to use, and does well at viewing multiple sites on one GUI page.

Now where have I heard that before?

I think they saw camera manufacturers buying up VMS platforms and figured if they came out with a VMS, some camera manufacturer might buy them too.
It reminds me of a Kodak Smartphone

John, will you try the new releases? I'm interested about your opinion about a NON beta version. :)

Do you anticipate that the recent round of layoffs will have a negative impact on time to market and feature comprehensiveness or that the focusing on core technologies will actually speed things up?
In my general experience, layoffs like Pelco's most recent have the net effect of: short term boost to profits; slightly negative impact on short term productivity; indeterminate longer term effect.
Do you think there is a white-space opportunity in the VMS market given its maturity? Is there some novel approach or set of features that the existing VMSes have missed? If not, why even bother trying to build it when Pelco can license from or even buy one of the VMS companies?
