00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.680
so now that those days are finally behind us I feel like it's safe to

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:09.880
reveal just how much of a complete joke

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:14.240
the security was at the old Linus Media Group headquarters there was a barely

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:18.880
functional video system remote access that barely worked and only on NX phone

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.199
with no notifications not to mention the video feeds wouldn't have told us much

00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:25.560
if anything about a wouldbe robber and backing it up with some horrible

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:30.920
residential grade alarm system on only some of the doors and none of the

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:36.399
Windows these were cost-saving measures that made sense at the time we moved

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.559
into the old house Studio but no longer

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

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.079
stuff like our upcoming Acer curved 34in

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:51.940
freesync gaming monitor video that's that's coming drop a like if you're

00:00:48.559 --> 00:01:00.199
stoked to see that

00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:05.960
Corsair delivers real Mech or nothing with their new strafe mechanical

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:11.840
keyboard featuring genuine german-made Cherry MX key switches click on this

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.280
spot right here to learn more yeah the

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:20.720
old Office security was a bad scene but not anymore this is our brand spanking

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:24.520
new surveillance server from datacash doca who we chose to work with for a

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:28.439
number of reasons there's all the stuff on their site they use only topnotch

00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:32.720
Hardware like this particular Trend net switch that they found is great for PoE

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:37.320
cameras as well as the variety of different cameras that we've got outdoor

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.759
ones you know uh fisheye ones regular ones all that kind of stuff they've got

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.680
a three-year parts and labor warranty with on-site replacement like if

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

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

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:54.920
and they're Canadian which maybe we can get like a motion trck little Canadian

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

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:01.960
going with them in spite of having offers from multiple camera and

00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:05.840
surveillance companies data cach whether it's the owner Phil or any of the team

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.360
members who we've worked with there are just our kind of people make sure you

00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:14.000
check them out at datacash doca Linus if you or anyone in your company needs

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:17.280
video surveillance their communication was amazingly prompt and professional

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

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.560
enough on their site you'll find mention of optional CPU liquid cooling in their

00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:29.280
machines and hot swap systems for the

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:34.480
surveillance drives these guys are bonafide enthusiasts which is probably

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:39.680
why you'll notice that our surveillance server is ridiculously Enthusiast grade

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

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:50.159
because while it only supports 15 drives that's less than the Norco RPC 4224 that

00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:55.000
we use all the time the sleds are completely toolless you just slide a

00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:58.920
bare drive in and Bam you've added more storage to your surveillance system more

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

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.319
of our surveillance system are also hilariously Overkill like to the point

00:03:04.519 --> 00:03:11.000
where we could dramatically increase our camera count down the road without any

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:16.000
slowdowns even when we're using you know uh more intensive features like real

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.680
time dewarping of 360 Dee cameras we've

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:24.080
got a core i74790 quad core processor installed on Aus z97 WS motherboard and

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:28.480
while that's not full server grade ASUS's WS Hardware is built for heavy

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:33.799
and continuous workloads and gets more validation for obscure Hardware like the

00:03:30.920 --> 00:03:38.720
raid card that we actually scavenged and uh threw in here this is from our old

00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:41.360
server our systems got 8 gigs of DDR3

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:45.920
memory from Kingston it uses a 750 W power supply from Cooler Master although

00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:48.920
depending on how many drives and spinup power draw you might want to buffer on

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:53.000
the side of a little bit more power supply capacity if you're actually

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:57.840
installing all 15 drives we've just got nine in here and then finally on boot

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

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

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:11.920
drive failure which leads nicely back to the hard drives we're using I like Solid

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:17.280
State Storage as much as anyone but for a workload like this the capacities not

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:21.079
to mention the price make it completely unsuitable so we went back to good

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:26.080
oldfashioned mechanical in the form of wd's purple series of surveillance

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:30.080
drives unlike normal desktop drives purple drives aside from being

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:34.479
specifically validated in a wide iety of security systems feature firmware

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:40.000
upgrades like ATA streaming support and wd's proprietary allframe which in a

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:45.800
nutshell optimizes them to handle the very unique workload of video

00:04:42.039 --> 00:04:48.680
surveillance that is multiple many

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:54.080
highdef video streams continuously being written and then overwritten once the

00:04:50.919 --> 00:04:56.280
drives fill up 24 hours a day 7 days a

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:00.400
week in a hot server room environment with vibration from other nearby

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:05.039
equipment all of this without dropping frames in the recording something that

00:05:02.479 --> 00:05:09.160
was a major concern for us because like what's the point of a security system

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.720
that runs great most of the time and then that one clear shot of someone's

00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:16.680
face there's a corrupted or missing frame or something like that which isn't

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:20.440
to say that I would recommend spending this much on a system that only manages

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:25.919
to handle recording videos without corruption and playing them back without

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.080
revealing too much about this part of

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:32.600
our new security setup because that would be stupid I can show you some of

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

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.560
from anywhere and can actually even stream in high dep this feature you're

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:44.840
looking at is called a missing object alarm potentially very useful in a

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:48.039
workshop environment for an expensive piece of equipment that isn't supposed

00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:52.680
to move so it can actually trigger a notification to me or even trigger an

00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:56.440
audible alarm if that object isn't detected anymore this shows how the

00:05:54.520 --> 00:06:01.919
viewfinder can be customized to show some very different live view options so

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

00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:10.759
camera with even multiple views especially useful with fisheye lenses by

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:14.960
the way possible from the same camera depending on what kind of arrangement

00:06:12.440 --> 00:06:19.199
you want camera locations can also be overlaid on a map of the building so you

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:23.680
can see indicators for where there are people moving about and check in on what

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:27.880
they're doing cool here we see an intruder alarm and showing how to find a

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:32.160
log of these alarms from within the interface oh and this one is some of the

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:36.560
fancier cameras that you can hook up to this system actually support features

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:42.160
like zoom and autofocus which is as simple as just using a scroll wheel on

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:44.400
the mouse but this one this last one is

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:50.120
the killer feature that gets me all excited like the missing object alarm it

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:54.880
detects something that's moved but this one is capable of doing it after the

00:06:52.280 --> 00:07:00.000
fact so say for example someone enters the kitchen and moves someone else's

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

00:07:03.520 --> 00:07:10.319
make sure people only use their own dishes at the new office speaking of the

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.680
new office this is where I would normally have like some kind of AD or

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

00:07:16.520 --> 00:07:25.280
event on August 21st we will be doing the first ever in-person Linus Media

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.800
Group garage sale and just general fan

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

00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:35.479
we'll have the the address listed correctly on the Linus Medi group.com

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

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

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:49.159
around noon to sometime kind of early evening depending on when things wrap up

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

00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:57.879
snacks and drinks and stuff there so uh come on down and check it out August

00:07:54.919 --> 00:08:00.960
21st 2015 if you guys are like watching this video sometime in the future I

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:06.800
don't want a bunch of people showing up on August 21st the following year cuz

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:08.560
that would be super sad so um yeah I

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

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:17.400

video on the compensator the very finest

00:08:35.800 --> 00:08:42.760
machine the fastest we could build using off-the-shelf Parts it is quite the

00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:46.979
Showcase thanks again for watching I'll see you guys next time
