There's a third "market" and those are installations that are glued together
by software from independent vendors such as Premise Systems (which _does_
support CADDX as well as HAI and Apex security) and CyberHouse (supports
Apex, Ademco, Napco, Radionics, Silent Knight, Elk).

In this market, support can be shunted/shared with the software
manufacturer, software vendor, software installer, and end user as well as
the hardware installer. Who gets the most inadequately compensated
work/calls (read 'can't survive') with this model?
