Independence is at IPVM's core

Advertising, especially in smaller industries

like video surveillance, forces publications
to self-censor, promote their advertisers
(who are invariably selling products or
services), and hide criticisms. We are a
di!erent.

Being independent, we provide far more

value to end-users, integrators, and even
manufacturers, as we can reveal and
uncover problems as well as better spot
positive trends instead of being beholden to
what advertisers want to be said.
