Am I clear on this part? Mercury Security was purchased by ACRE? Last I knew, Mercury provides panels for 21 access control manufacturers. Concluding this group will have minimal impact on the North American market just seems a little curious.

Yes, it is true.
ACRE made it clear when they acquired the company from the former owners that they would continue pushing the Mercury platform across multiple channels - rather than close it off and make it proprietary.
