While I think Evercam may find some success with this new route, I suspect that there will be high support costs here as well. Attempts to be a "hardware abstraction layer" for disparate devices means that their development and support costs will be a function of the number of difference devices supported. Their revenue-per-employee will be limited, and to grow revenue they will have to keep adding bodies linerally. There will be unhappy employees who won't get the plum projects, because they are are too busy with code for cameras from XYZ corp that maybe 5 customers use. Eventually they will leave and management is screwed because no one else knows how to support XYZ cameras, so they re-task someone else from a cooler project, "temporarily", and then he gets pissed as well. I wish them the best in this endevour.

They should make the API open source and see if development spikes. If it does they will alleviate themselves form development costs and then they could find ways to make revenues around that model.
