Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Incode
- Incode is now sold as Tyler ERP Pro and tylertech.com/products/incode redirects to the ERP Pro product page
- No pricing is published; Tyler routes all enquiries through contact and demo requests with no published rate, minimum or cost driver
- The product is sold only to public sector organisations
March Networks
- The ownership history is a live compliance question: Chinese-owned via Infinova from 2011, with a PRC government entity as controlling shareholder by January 2020, before the December 2021 sale to Delta Electronics of Taiwan, and any US federal or contractor buyer should expect to document that chain during a procurement review.
- NDAA compliance is stated at the product level and rests on American system-on-chip processors in the majority of cameras and in specific recorder lines, which means it must be confirmed per model rather than assumed across the catalogue.
- The platform is engineered around banking and retail workflows, so buyers outside those verticals pay for transaction integration they will never use and get a less developed general security experience than from a Genetec or Milestone.
- No pricing is published and everything is quoted through integrators, so a multi-hundred-site estate cannot be budgeted without a design exercise and there is no benchmark against which to test a quote.
- Hybrid recording means a recorder in every branch, which is hardware to install, monitor, service and eventually replace at every location, and that refresh cycle is a recurring capital event that cloud rivals avoid entirely.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
March Networks: Who owns March Networks?
Delta Electronics of Taiwan, which acquired it in December 2021 for 114 million US dollars. Before that it was owned by Chinese manufacturer Infinova, which by January 2020 had a PRC government entity as controlling shareholder.
March Networks: Is March Networks NDAA compliant?
The company states it is, citing American system-on-chip processors in the majority of its cameras and in its Command Recording Server bundles and X-Series hybrid NVRs. Verify per model, and expect the ownership history to be raised in a federal procurement review.
March Networks: What is Searchlight?
The layer that overlays ATM, teller and point of sale transaction data on video so investigators search by transaction rather than by time.
March Networks: Is video stored in the cloud?
No, it is hybrid. Video is recorded on a recorder at each site and only required clips move centrally, which is why it suits large branch estates on modest connections.
