Unlimited Enterprise VMS License for Just $32,000

Published Oct 14, 2015 04:00 AM

If you have 1,000 cameras and want enterprise VMS software, you would probably pay $150,000, maybe more, plus tens of thousands additional each year for software updates and support.

And for even larger systems with thousands of cameras, you would routinely pay hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Now one VMS vendor, ipConfigure, is releasing an unlimited enterprise VMS plan for just $32,000.

In this note, we share details of this offering, assess its competitive impact to companies like Genetec and Milestone, and debate its value / effectiveness.
