I’m trying to keep with the theme of breaking down the advantages of MVaaS solutions like ours into very simple and easily understandable chunks.
One of the key differentiators between MVaaS and traditional DVR solutions, which comes from the Software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, is the ability to rapidly incorporate customer feedback into the service and make that [...]
Just check out the attached article on CNN that highlights how 40 million credit card numbers were stolen from about a dozen retailers.
The flaw that was exploited to get this credit card information was in the retailers local area network. The article indicates that the criminals put sniffers on the companies’ wireless in-store networks and [...]
In my last post I highlighted how quickly a business can benefit from viewing video. I gave a couple real life examples of how some of our customers have been able to obtain insights almost instantaneously by having the right people view video at the right time.
If you are new to the video space, this [...]
In the spirit of making our value proposition more understandable and more clear, I’ll propose the following question: How long do you think it takes an operator to benefit from being able to see what is going on at their remote locations? Does it take a month, a week, hours of reviewing video?

Sometimes it takes me a couple of times before what should be an obvious truth sinks in. Usually someone says something that I don’t fully internalize, then I hear it again, then I read something that triggers a thought, then it dawns on me and I wonder how I didn’t get it in the first [...]
You may have read some earlier posts about how we are making some changes to be more customer and market driven. Part of our near term plan was to relaunch the Envysion Video service based on some new capabilities, some large customer wins, and our PCI compliance.
As part of our efforts I’ve spent the last [...]
Occasionally I get the following question from someone thinking about deploying video in their company for the first time: How are the employees going to react and will this create a “big brother” like atmosphere that is counter to our open and trusting culture?
I have a number of responses to this question, ranging from the cold/analytical to [...]
A couple of weeks back I posted about a brief meeting that I had with another CEO in the video space, Patrick Sobalvarro of Intellivid. I mentioned that Patrick, who has been in the video world longer than I have, was gracious enough to share some of his insights and it was a very good [...]
The venture capital market is clearly still bullish on the broad video market as the dollars keep flowing into both start-up and well established companies. It is interesting to watch where the dollars are going – there has been a lot of investment in video analytics companies, IP camera manufacturers, video management software providers (primarily [...]
John Honovich, who has a very good blog/news site dedicated to IP video, posted a good comment a couple weeks back on why he believes it is unlikely traditional DVR manufacturers and video providers will develop standards around how they can be accessed.
I’m still trying to figure out how to link to his comment (I [...]
