Danger of buying online from non-authorized vendors

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP), Authorized Dealers, and unauthorized re-sellers

Axis, Milestone, Siklu and others require its Authorized Dealers to display MSRP price only. Any website displaying lower prices probably (1) is not an Authorized Partner/Dealer, (2) will not be able to offer the same level of support, (3) may not be able to offer the Axis warranty. To ensure you receive authentic Axis products, please ensure that you are purchasing from an Authorized Axis dealer.  It simply to tell, go to the Axis, Milestone, Siklu or suppliers website and see if your potential source is on their list of approved and certified dealers list.  To receive instant pricing with a substantial discount off MSRP (website price) please create a login now. We are not going to blast you with a bunch of marketing, we just want to ensure that you get authentic, new, warranty backed products!

Many of these suppliers (Axis, Milestone, Siklu and others) will not warranty their products if it was not purchased from an authorized re-seller.  This is true even if you buy it from a reputable online re-seller like Amazon, B&H Photo and others.   You are going to see more and more suppliers taking stronger stances against this as it becomes more troublesome.  In addition to the security industry, you are seeing this across several other markets.
