In the end the Datacom solution was clearly our best choice. It is an IBM server based solution and comes with IBMs outstanding customer support, It will easily grow with our needs and is extremely user friendly. It was also very budget friendly.
100% Customer Satisfaction - Throughout the process from purchasing and installation, to going live and never experiencing loss of video for years, customers rave about DataCom. Not a single customer has switched off of the DataCom platform in years of business...NEVER.
Quality - Video quality is unsurpassed and only dependent on the quality of the camera infrastructure and network. DataCom consistently outperforms even when video signals are not perfect.
Price, Value, Longevity - Initial cost is less because we use IBM industry standard products not proprietary solutions with a market limited to surveillance. Value because you can add cameras and infrastructure with no additional cost except adding hardware (no licenses). Longevity because this is a "enterprise solution" where IBM guarantees the forward and backward compatability of technology AND workhorse products that are supported for at least 10 years.
