Who commissions The Security Shortlist

The Security Shortlist is one of three video-security publications commissioned by the team behind Icarian Labs’ camera product. Icarian markets that product as Sightline. The sign-in link on its website opens the application labeled Argus. The same commissioning team has an interest in the product covered by our comparisons. A01 · Icarian product A01 · Argus sign-in

The Security Shortlist Editorial Desk is the publication’s collective byline. Our comparisons follow product documentation, public pricing and primary announcements. Our example buyers and situations illustrate a purchase decision. We make no claim of hands-on product testing, a customer relationship with the other vendors or endorsement from them.

When we recommend a system, we identify the person who would use it, what they need to accomplish and a condition that could change the decision. A numbered link beside a feature identifies its source. For an estimate we show the inputs, and for a quote-only system we name the units the buyer needs priced. Our comparison rubric sets out the criteria.
