RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Even good news does not do any good BTW, Axis also launched into access control, mostly as an afterthought, after Avigilon bought Red Cloud and Axis realized that was going to give Avigilon an edge over them. They even tried a lame attempt at putting together VMS software.
For Axis, all that resulted in was wasting resources trying to fight back, not doing any better at growing anywhere near the industry average, and eventually capitulating when Canon came around offering them more money than their business was worth.
