1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,680
so now that those days are finally behind us I feel like it's safe to

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,880
reveal just how much of a complete joke

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,240
the security was at the old Linus Media Group headquarters there was a barely

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,880
functional video system remote access that barely worked and only on NX phone

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,199
with no notifications not to mention the video feeds wouldn't have told us much

6
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:25,560
if anything about a wouldbe robber and backing it up with some horrible

7
00:00:23,599 --> 00:00:30,920
residential grade alarm system on only some of the doors and none of the

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:36,399
Windows these were cost-saving measures that made sense at the time we moved

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,559
into the old house Studio but no longer

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:44,520
do now that we've expanded to a team of nearly 10 people and are working on

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,079
stuff like our upcoming Acer curved 34in

12
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:51,940
freesync gaming monitor video that's that's coming drop a like if you're

13
00:00:48,559 --> 00:01:00,199
stoked to see that

14
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:05,960
Corsair delivers real Mech or nothing with their new strafe mechanical

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:11,840
keyboard featuring genuine german-made Cherry MX key switches click on this

16
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:14,280
spot right here to learn more yeah the

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:20,720
old Office security was a bad scene but not anymore this is our brand spanking

18
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:24,520
new surveillance server from datacash doca who we chose to work with for a

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,439
number of reasons there's all the stuff on their site they use only topnotch

20
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:32,720
Hardware like this particular Trend net switch that they found is great for PoE

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,320
cameras as well as the variety of different cameras that we've got outdoor

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,759
ones you know uh fisheye ones regular ones all that kind of stuff they've got

23
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:43,680
a three-year parts and labor warranty with on-site replacement like if

24
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:47,479
something goes wrong they swap out a new camera on the spot they have a system to

25
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,200
detect if one of your cameras fails and let you know before you have to find out

26
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,920
and they're Canadian which maybe we can get like a motion trck little Canadian

27
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,000
flag I can wave here but none of that is actually the reason that we ended up

28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,960
going with them in spite of having offers from multiple camera and

29
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:05,840
surveillance companies data cach whether it's the owner Phil or any of the team

30
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,360
members who we've worked with there are just our kind of people make sure you

31
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,000
check them out at datacash doca Linus if you or anyone in your company needs

32
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:17,280
video surveillance their communication was amazingly prompt and professional

33
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,400
with questions answered thoroughly sometimes too thoroughly like long emails any time of day and if that's not

34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,560
enough on their site you'll find mention of optional CPU liquid cooling in their

35
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:29,280
machines and hot swap systems for the

36
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:34,480
surveillance drives these guys are bonafide enthusiasts which is probably

37
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:39,680
why you'll notice that our surveillance server is ridiculously Enthusiast grade

38
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:45,239
let's run through the specs so they use an iar USA case for most of their builds

39
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:50,159
because while it only supports 15 drives that's less than the Norco RPC 4224 that

40
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:55,000
we use all the time the sleds are completely toolless you just slide a

41
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,920
bare drive in and Bam you've added more storage to your surveillance system more

42
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:02,400
on the WD purple drives we're using in a bit poking around around inside the guts

43
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,319
of our surveillance system are also hilariously Overkill like to the point

44
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:11,000
where we could dramatically increase our camera count down the road without any

45
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:16,000
slowdowns even when we're using you know uh more intensive features like real

46
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:18,680
time dewarping of 360 Dee cameras we've

47
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,080
got a core i74790 quad core processor installed on Aus z97 WS motherboard and

48
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,480
while that's not full server grade ASUS's WS Hardware is built for heavy

49
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,799
and continuous workloads and gets more validation for obscure Hardware like the

50
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:38,720
raid card that we actually scavenged and uh threw in here this is from our old

51
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,360
server our systems got 8 gigs of DDR3

52
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:45,920
memory from Kingston it uses a 750 W power supply from Cooler Master although

53
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,920
depending on how many drives and spinup power draw you might want to buffer on

54
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,000
the side of a little bit more power supply capacity if you're actually

55
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:57,840
installing all 15 drives we've just got nine in here and then finally on boot

56
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:03,000
Drive Duty we've got not one but two of Intel's fast and reliable 7 30 series

57
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,480
ssds running in raid one so this puppy would be pretty hard to take out with a

58
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,920
drive failure which leads nicely back to the hard drives we're using I like Solid

59
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:17,280
State Storage as much as anyone but for a workload like this the capacities not

60
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:21,079
to mention the price make it completely unsuitable so we went back to good

61
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:26,080
oldfashioned mechanical in the form of wd's purple series of surveillance

62
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:30,080
drives unlike normal desktop drives purple drives aside from being

63
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:34,479
specifically validated in a wide iety of security systems feature firmware

64
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:40,000
upgrades like ATA streaming support and wd's proprietary allframe which in a

65
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:45,800
nutshell optimizes them to handle the very unique workload of video

66
00:04:42,039 --> 00:04:48,680
surveillance that is multiple many

67
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:54,080
highdef video streams continuously being written and then overwritten once the

68
00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:56,280
drives fill up 24 hours a day 7 days a

69
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:00,400
week in a hot server room environment with vibration from other nearby

70
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:05,039
equipment all of this without dropping frames in the recording something that

71
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:09,160
was a major concern for us because like what's the point of a security system

72
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,720
that runs great most of the time and then that one clear shot of someone's

73
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,680
face there's a corrupted or missing frame or something like that which isn't

74
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,440
to say that I would recommend spending this much on a system that only manages

75
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,919
to handle recording videos without corruption and playing them back without

76
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,080
revealing too much about this part of

77
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:32,600
our new security setup because that would be stupid I can show you some of

78
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,199
the cool stuff it can do so there's a mobile app for monitoring uh this works

79
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:40,560
from anywhere and can actually even stream in high dep this feature you're

80
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:44,840
looking at is called a missing object alarm potentially very useful in a

81
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,039
workshop environment for an expensive piece of equipment that isn't supposed

82
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:52,680
to move so it can actually trigger a notification to me or even trigger an

83
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,440
audible alarm if that object isn't detected anymore this shows how the

84
00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:01,919
viewfinder can be customized to show some very different live view options so

85
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:06,440
you can set up up tiles to see a normal view of a camera a zoomed in view of a

86
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,759
camera with even multiple views especially useful with fisheye lenses by

87
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,960
the way possible from the same camera depending on what kind of arrangement

88
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:19,199
you want camera locations can also be overlaid on a map of the building so you

89
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,680
can see indicators for where there are people moving about and check in on what

90
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:27,880
they're doing cool here we see an intruder alarm and showing how to find a

91
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,160
log of these alarms from within the interface oh and this one is some of the

92
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:36,560
fancier cameras that you can hook up to this system actually support features

93
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:42,160
like zoom and autofocus which is as simple as just using a scroll wheel on

94
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,400
the mouse but this one this last one is

95
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:50,120
the killer feature that gets me all excited like the missing object alarm it

96
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:54,880
detects something that's moved but this one is capable of doing it after the

97
00:06:52,280 --> 00:07:00,000
fact so say for example someone enters the kitchen and moves someone else's

98
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:06,039
dishes I can quickly scan through and see who it was yes there is a plan to

99
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:10,319
make sure people only use their own dishes at the new office speaking of the

100
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,680
new office this is where I would normally have like some kind of AD or

101
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:19,080
something but not today well sort of an ad but it's for a Linus Media Group

102
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:25,280
event on August 21st we will be doing the first ever in-person Linus Media

103
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,800
Group garage sale and just general fan

104
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,520
Meetup you guys will be able to come out to the new office which by that time

105
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:35,479
we'll have the the address listed correctly on the Linus Medi group.com

106
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:40,400
website so it's in uh kind of the Cloverdale area in Su and you guys will

107
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:45,000
be able to come out there and meet the crew we're expecting it to run from

108
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:49,159
around noon to sometime kind of early evening depending on when things wrap up

109
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,159
we might even be doing like tours of the inside we're going to try and have some

110
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:57,879
snacks and drinks and stuff there so uh come on down and check it out August

111
00:07:54,919 --> 00:08:00,960
21st 2015 if you guys are like watching this video sometime in the future I

112
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:06,800
don't want a bunch of people showing up on August 21st the following year cuz

113
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:08,560
that would be super sad so um yeah I

114
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:12,840
think that's pretty much it guys though uh if you dislike this video I think you
