Pros
This company had a ton of innovative technology that led the industry, and unfortunately, most of Arecont's competitors are now selling these same designs. Multi-sensor cameras, dual-sensors are very common today. There were a lot of great people working here.
Cons
The founders had great minds for technology and they could still have been a market leader had they not taken out the loan from AIG that kept for personal use and it set the stage for the company's decline. Very unfortunate.
