The same reason people love any external service such as email and calendars: convenience. There's a lot more work involved with video security system if you don't use consumer friendly versions.
- rhizome 8y agoTo be sure, SAAS companies put more resources into making the implementation convenient to setup and use, and to provide revenue, but there's no reason that setup and usability issues wouldn't also be dealt with in generic DVR systems if the same effort was expended.
- fomojola 8y agoTrue statement, BUT: in general most generic DVR systems are driven by people who are looking for advanced features. Convenient setup for non-expert users is (at best) a distant second.
