This is where the Western manufacturers need to get with the program and get with it fast. It is getting harder and harder to sell systems that require IP and some even Base licenses. One is the upfront cost and two is the ongoing SSA's many of the VMS systems require. VMS manufacturers will say why pay for licenses you don't need that you get with an appliance. Well when the price of the appliance is so much less and a much quicker install it is hard to compete. Most customers don't want all the bells and whistles of a VMS system and if they do many of the appliances are starting to have some of the same advanced features.

64 channels or less, appliance usually always makes more sense. VMS on a PC with all the licenses and yearly costs and junk that may come associated with it is way too clunky for a small system. How long are PC's gonna be around anyways :)

Another key point is quality of the hard drive used. Western appliance charge a large premium for this. Asia often have desktop HDD which is another reason they are cheaper. And software you can choose what to install.

If the IT department is awake, then no proprietary NVR appliances. We want consistency, so that means the same server series we run for other applications.

HIKVISION is going to sell their NVR-appliance with Milestone XProtect!?
They presented a sample on a Milestone event, but no details / price list, yet.
