I'm still not sure why the cost of products are running in the quarter million dollar range. A smart person would realize that a WHOLE market is being missed.
You have the "camera on a tv", that we can call the Yugo of the VC world. Then you have the RPX, Halo, Cisco's unit, etc., that we can call the Ferrari.
Where is the Toyota? Certainly a lower cost yet elegant solution can be made, but no one is doing it. Companies want to follow the leader and aren't thinking "outside the box" (a term which I hate, but is necessary to use here).
A solution can absolutely be in the $100,000 or less range and actually be better than what's out there (architecture-wise). Who will step up to fill this huge, overlooked void?
