RE:Higher Competition, Lower pricesBoth Flir and Hikvision are licensees of Avigilon's Patent License Program. So Avigilon is tapped into more than just hardware and will be receiving very good royalties from this program! Avigilon has placed themselves in a great position. They have the hardware AND the software patents. anyone can make a camera...not many can support the content like avigilon.
I thought this might be good to reiterate.
