Nice update!
The ratio of integrators selling/not selling VSaaS today vs. 2011 was almost identical.
Maybe because falling bandwidth costs have been met with increasing resolutions and frame rates?
A couple years ago Dropcam was making a push to sign up dealers, I take it there is no sign of that amounting to anything?

I used to think that no one would pay a monthly fee for VSaaS until I spoke with a customer who put six Dropcams in his business. As absurd as that sounds to trust something like that, he caught a few bad employees and loves the system. He pays $1,200 for the service. After I had left his business that day, I knew we had to come up with a solution that offered a little local storage and cloud recording during alarm events (think of smash and grab NVR's). About a year ago our manufacturer started offering video user verification and central station video verification. At the time, I made the recommendation to include a local storage/display option (helps to solve bottlenecking issues). They released the product last week, I've had it running in my home with no issues. To me, it's a no-brainer to offer a solution like this and collect the RMR.

Cost/Bandwidth is always an issue. We integrate out of the Atlanta area and do full hosting for systems of usually 8 or less cameras. We also don't do 2MP cameras at 15fps......we want the user to be able to see his/her video from a mobile device without waiting forever on a huge file. It's cost vs benefit. Outside of a truck ramming through your pool gate, getting above 5fps doesn't do them a lot of good identifying visitors. I also don't need to see the pimples on the face of a lobby visitor.
Those that have more cameras we do a managed server with same software, and then dual record some key cameras offsite at a low resolution as a backup. We've had more than a couple auto stores have a DVR stolen and that's why they've come out way.
The benefits we sell are: no data stored onsite for theft, we handle all the updates and maintenance, when new phones/browsers come out we'll support them (unlike most dvr installs that STILL don't work on firefox or safari). Many like that they can be hands off. I pay a lawn service to handle it, why not video surveillance?
But it is still a limited business but one that can be good for some. We probably host ~500 cameras and have managed servers on another 1000 so it's good recurring income for a 5 person company. Most of them are between $8 and $20 a month per camera.

Cost of internet is 100% political and has no relation to technological advancements, or capability. Except in the extreme extreme remote locations. In cities and suburbia its all FCC politics that bar ISP's from offering competing services in regions.
