Why do you have to factor in all upgrade future costs? How long are you promising support for? Its not 30 dollars a year. Its 30 dollars every 3 years or so. If someone refuses to pony up 30 dollars every 3 years then they should use an NVR. If they cant pay 10 dollars a year for a superior product with constant new features then you should stick with an inferior one.It should be a non issue based on whom. People are trying to get the best bang for their dollar. Folks will go to a completely different car dealership over 30 dollars. If you think they won't go to your competition over a 30 dollar difference than I don't know what area of wealth you're in. Why do you think folks purchase cams on Alie instead of from Nellys, Wrightwood or LTS? It's the same practice for me in the alarm business. If I can offer the same alarm package for 5.00 less than my competition to get the customer who do you think they'll go with. Trust me, BI is an excellent product. For me I will have to factor in the initial cost all future version upgrade cost into my inital cost, so that every year I don't have to charge an additional 30 dollars or more, when an nvr has no software upgrade cost.
