“In the six years that the University has been using the cameras, there has not been a single failure, and even now with an install base of 100 units, we have not experienced any product issues.”
“When you have a product that is reliable and delivers what you expect, then it is natural that the usage will grow. In these six years since Pure AV introduced the Lumens PTZ cameras, we have gradually increased the applications where the cameras are used, and as the use of video and digital content persist I fully expect that to continue.”
