Fredrik Nilsson of Axis Communications gives a talk promoting the benefits of SaaS. While the talk focuses a bit on security applications, it’s refreshing to see that they’re not focusing exclusively on “remote recording” for video.

Envysion recently introduced support for ACTi IP cameras. In particular our customers are demanding a mid to low priced camera that offers megapixel resolution.

Image via Wikipedia I was reminded today of the number of applications and the massive numbers of downloads of iPhone applications out there. As of this writing nearly 1 billion downloads of iPhone apps have occurred. That sure is a lot. It also reminds me of a great quote from Sci-Fi author Kurt Vonnegut: “It [...]
IMS has a new report on RVMaS (Remote Video Monitoring and Surveillance). IMS defines RVMaS as: “…network camera based solutions that allow the end user to remotely view live or recently recorded video in security and non security related applications.” MVaaS is certainly a piece of that market which IMS claims is about $158M in [...]
