Unlimited Enterprise VMS License for Just $32,000

Oops. Somehow posted before completing my thought.

If the manufactirers in the video surveillance space do not innovate all they have left to compete on is price. Guess where that leads? Right to the bottom, single digit margins or right out of the industry altogether.

We need the manufacturers to innovate!

had these guys in here for a sales pitch a few months back. neat product but it was like any other VMS except the were trying to run mostly linux services on a windows server platform. while i love linux this was a bad idea as they were trying to move away from siverlight to VLC. I informed them that VLC had problems running on windows in large scale apps but they said "nah its seems pretty stable to us we will make it work"

its an interesting concept full suport and upgrades for all of the cameras you have and or add on to your system. they are nice guys seem knolwdgeable (way more than the honeywell dudes) they just dont have anything that sets them apart from established brands though

ERM.... $32,000 MSRP...Does this suggest a discount as well...Of course it does. As it's now public.

Why do so many companies continue to publish disruptive headline prices to get attention (obviously) then it's only once you drill down that you see that intergration will be $XXX (Suck finger hold in air).

The big VMS companies have to battle this sort of thing as the black noise it is... A company trying to be disruptive by headlining an unrealistic price.. Remember the good old days of buying a BMW... The radio was an extra... SO sir is your intergration.... REALLY... Good luck with that one...

WIthout ONVIF,integration, account base for reference

this is not much of a threat to any mid to large size company account, prospect.

It is a marketing gimmick to garner recognition. Not a bad move. If they gain any momentum, will help them get what they need in terms of compliances, ect...

Unfortunately, there are enough companies being managed by uninformed personnel so they may win a few

I find it interesting that many of the conversations posted are focused around the cost reduction as compared to the market. As a sales manager for IPConfigure, when I visit with the integrator community, pricing is one of the top 3 questions I get asked as a comparative question against other VMS solutions. I would be happy to discuss this in more detail with anyone interested in doing so; however, I think it is more important to address how a price play like the Unlimited license $32K deal can actually help integrators increase margins. This pricing model allows an integrator to focus sales on selling more cameras, more servers, more workstations, more switching & cabling, and most important more services.

This is also the perfect opportunity to branch in to the MSP (managed service provider) world by offering video as a service to customers, allowing them to grow within their means where camera licenses can be turned on at no additional costs. Through Enterprise Surveillance Manager reporting, you can schedule a camera health report to be ahead of downed cameras and dispatch a technician to your customer before their office opens.

There are many positives to the pricing provided by IPConfigure in today’s market place. Choosing how to use this pricing model for the benefit of the organization depends on how far someone is willing to take it. Browser based user interface, remote administrator access, camera support of major manufacturers and ease of use through reduced training are just the tip of the benefits of IPConfigure. Now, if one prefers to purchase a base license with no camera licenses included, or back pay for licenses out of support before being current on support than IPConfigure VMS is not the right choice.

Where would be your opportunistic quick gain market strategy for enterprise projects if one of a big VMS producer offers tomorrow the same but cheaper? I am sure they can survive it longer.

I know you would go lower and someone will go even lower and then another segment in security will be damaged.

Your only advantage to do so is the small partner base so you do not need to care about your old partners and protecting their investments.

I think Asians are excellent in the cost of leadership concept.

They have also always a great response from their partners, sometime they offer enterprise VMS for free but you need to buy at least 20 kg of IP cameras:-)
