5
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:38,800
Hey Chris. Hey John, how are you? Good. Good. I had to, those of you in the audience, I

6
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,680
just had to tell Chris to stop talking so we could start the podcast. Yes. So that we

7
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,760
could... I got in trouble. So we could talk about things because there are things to talk

8
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,960
about and he starts bringing stuff up. I'm like, this is great for the podcast. We got

9
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,920
to do this on the podcast. I did kind of bring the unwritten rule and then you don't talk

10
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,880
about the stuff until you're on the show. Right. It's hard not to. That's true. This

11
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:08,360
is what we talk about a lot of the time. Yes. Thanks for joining us for another Beer and

12
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:19,120
Gear. So I am kind of... I'm in a weird place right now. This is my normal personality,

13
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:25,140
I think, but also because I am super tired and exhausted and have been working nonstop

14
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:33,920
for a little while here. I've got like decision overload. I don't have any executive powers

15
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,840
right now. So I was like, I'm going to get the beer this time because Chris has brought

16
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,800
the beer the last few times. So I'm going to go get the beer. And when I went to go

17
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:48,280
get the beer, I was like, I... This was a mistake. You brought the beer. I did. So,

18
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,800
but this is what happens to me. Instead of just deciding and buying a beer, like one

19
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:00,160
type of beer or whatever. So I brought three options. There's nothing wrong with a smorgasbord.

20
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:06,400
But it is... That's what I do. Yeah. I got this from my dad. Hey. My dad, whenever something

21
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,720
is happening at our house, he's always like, can I go get everybody some food? What does

22
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:15,040
everybody want? And then he shows up with like all the food as a thing. Hey, it's hospitality.

23
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,440
It is hospitality. I will say we come by it honest because his mother was the same way,

24
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:26,160
except she would just make everything ridiculous. It was a different time. It was a different time.

25
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,680
So the one that you have decided to start with... Emphasis on start. Start with is North Coast

26
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:42,840
Brewing Company. Yes. Does it say where that's from? Product of the US? Yeah. It's from the

27
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:49,080
US. We know that even though... And it's got some clearly Russian writing. Yeah, because

28
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,680
the beer is called Old Rasputin. Russian Imperial Stout. It's a Russian Imperial Stout. I will

29
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:03,040
tell you, I was a little bit surprised to see it because everything right now on the

30
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:10,080
pick six wall at Brookshire's is Oktoberfest. Like everything's Oktoberfest. I don't doubt

31
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,540
it. And I'm like, oh, and there's this Russian beer. So there's that. Okay. So I found it.

32
00:03:16,540 --> 00:03:22,040
It is the North Coast Brewing Company, Fort Bragg, California. So it's in California.

33
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:28,520
In California. Super close to Russia. Yeah, I can see it from my back porch. There you

34
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,360
go. Or front porch or whichever porch it was. Not Alaska, but California, close enough.

35
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:43,040
So you're going to start with that one. And I'm going to start with this Obsidian. It's

36
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:51,400
just Deschutes Obsidian Stout. I don't know how to pronounce that. I don't know either.

37
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:59,040
But yeah, Deschutesbrewery.com. Okay. That's fun. The formation of Obsidian. I'm going

38
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:11,200
to read this on air. That'll be fun. Named for the iconic lava flows forever crystallized

39
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,200
in central Oregon. Obsidian Stout is as smooth as the black glass it's named after. Black

40
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:23,320
barley and roasted malts deliver a depth of flavor that promises enjoyable notes of espresso

41
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:31,360
and chocolate. It's a 6.4. So we're fine. Yeah, we're fine. We've had 18. Nobody can

42
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,400
touch us anymore. That's interesting. It's a family and employee owned since 1988. Okay.

43
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,160
Well, since you read, I feel compelled to read too. Okay. So I've got a little blurb

44
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,960
on mine. Maybe this will be a thing. Maybe. Brewed in the tradition of the 18th century

45
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,520
English brewers who supplied the Russian court of Catherine the Great. That's big time. Big

46
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,600
time. Old Rasputin develops a cult following wherever it goes. It's a rich, intense brew

47
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:09,360
with big complex flavors and a warming finish. And it's 9%. Oh, okay. Because Russia. Because

48
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:16,160
Russia and warming. And warming, yes. And then the other option that we have is the

49
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Hofbraud Dunkel, which you have had in a previous show. It was good. It was good. Okay, go for it.

50
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:33,680
All right. Not bad. Sorry, I don't have glasses for us. We've still not made the- That's okay.

51
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,080
I don't mind drinking from the bottle. It's not made the purchase. Oh, that was weak.

52
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,040
Of our licensed merchandise. There you go. Cheers. Cheers.

53
00:05:45,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Yeah, that's good. Sorry for the mouth sounds. Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, that's got like an

54
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,320
interesting finish. It lingers a little bit longer than I'm used to. What do you think?

55
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:16,720
Initially, it's a little more bitter than I like, but it kind of fades. Okay. I think this one

56
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,120
starts less bitter and then gets more bitter. Okay. So that's the thing. Okay. It's not bad.

57
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,040
I mean, the Russians start bitter too, so I feel like maybe they're just

58
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:35,280
on brand. Okay, so let's get into what we were talking about right before when I had to tell

59
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:43,200
you to stop talking because we're wasting good content on just us. Yes. So you were saying though,

60
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:51,680
because I have actually been looking at, I want to do a setup at home. Yes. Really badly. And I was

61
00:06:51,680 --> 00:07:00,080
going to do the roadcast duo. Yes. So this comes from a podcast that I listen to, Podcasting 2.0.

62
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,320
If you've been listening to this show, that's no surprise. You've heard of it before. Yes, there's

63
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:13,760
a whole podcast dedicated to it. Adam Curry has the duo as his mobile rig. Yeah. So he was recently

64
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:21,600
in Mexico, did some shows. When he got there and got set up, initially, it didn't want to work

65
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,520
because it was saying, hey, you need to do firmware updates, which always makes you nervous.

66
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,400
You're like, I don't know if I want to do firmware updates. Correct. Because prior to this firmware,

67
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:39,200
there was no issue. Okay. So he was forced to do it in order to use the road central app to be able

68
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:46,960
to pull recorded content. Yeah. So he did that. The app had updated. So the firmware had to update as

69
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:54,000
well. Yes. So upon completion of the firmware update, it appears to have introduced an issue

70
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:04,240
with USB. He uses one of the USB connections for his jingle board. And it just randomly

71
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,800
stops working in the middle of the show. And you have to close and reconnect. Thankfully,

72
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,720
he hasn't had to fully reboot the road caster, but he'll go to play something and be like,

73
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,400
oh, it broke. Hold on one second. Get it going again. And he's just fine. And there doesn't

74
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,800
seem to be any kind of rhyme or reason other than it looks like it could be some type of a

75
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:35,600
keep alive issue that is not doing the keep alive and it's dropping the connection.

76
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,960
The keep alive issue where it's not keeping it alive.

77
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,880
Exactly. So I'm kind of waiting. I'm a few shows behind on some of his others. So I'm waiting to

78
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:52,800
see if he has figured it out or not. So all that to say a little bit of concern there with the duo.

79
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:57,520
That's not good, man. Hopefully it doesn't roll over to the big boy.

80
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,080
Yeah. We haven't done a firmware in a while. That might not be a bad thing to just kind of

81
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:11,120
leave it as is. Just let it go. Let other people be the guinea pig. Yeah. That's the way that we've

82
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,120
operated with the road caster for a while that we just plug in an external hard drive into the back

83
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,320
of it and record to that and then transfer that way as opposed to actually plugging our computers

84
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:29,200
into it. Does that make sense? It does. Because I actually have had a few problems with this road

85
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:36,800
caster over the year. I guess it's been a couple of years now with the second. Yeah. Sounds about

86
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:45,120
right. And when I've plugged things into it and like the connection between road caster central

87
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,160
and it or whatever the app is now and it has not always been super solid and that makes me not feel

88
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:59,680
great about it. So I basically load every sound that we need onto it. Yes. Run the show the way

89
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,080
that we normally do and then hopefully don't have to rerecord it for some reason. Correct.

90
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:11,600
Afterwards. And I will tell you we've also gone the micro SD route on the back of it. Don't do

91
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:19,360
that. Just plug a hard drive, solid state hard drive into the back of that thing. It's way better.

92
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Way faster. Way faster to move stuff too. So. But while we're sharing new fun stuff. Yeah.

93
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,720
I have a piece of hardware that you might want to consider. It is from Audio Sigma. Audio Sigma.

94
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:41,680
It is the Pod Mobile DSP. It is small portable. Gives you two XLR connections.

95
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Say the last part again. Pod Mobile DSP. DSP. Well. Sure. It's Audio Sigma Pod Mobile DSP.

96
00:10:51,760 --> 00:11:02,720
Yes. Very portable. Yeah. Look at that. Yeah. That looks like a Raspberry Pi with some.

97
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,080
Almost. They slapped some metal on either side of it.

98
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,480
Almost. And the way it is designed, if you kind of scroll through that page. Yeah.

99
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,040
You can see that you can actually hook up multiples of them. To each other.

100
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,440
If you had to. Yeah. To expand.

101
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Daisy chain those bad boys. Yeah. You could bring in up to 10 different mics.

102
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Huh. Over that one little.

103
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:32,960
Because the hardware itself only has. Well, no. There's. Hold on.

104
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,040
It is the two XLRs. Yeah. The two XLRs is what I was looking at. But then there are two at the

105
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,640
bottom that look like it in there. There's the monitor out in Aux-in. Yes. There's USB audio.

106
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:49,520
There's power. And then it's got an equalizer, a denoise on each side.

107
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:59,360
For each of the mics. And those are independent. And then a recording mode. Normal stage and split.

108
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,040
Interesting. Yeah. Interesting. Ooh. Phantom power.

109
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,360
For all you condenser fans out there. Yes. I don't know what's wrong with you.

110
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:19,600
I've been tempted to buy this just to play around. Yeah. And it's not too bad at $359.

111
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:27,760
Yeah, that's not bad at all. That's very mobile. It is. Okay. So on the. It's like that. What I

112
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,880
was just reading was off the like underside of it. That's interesting. And then the top side of it

113
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:46,720
actually has gain knobs. And then headphone volume. And then you can either have the mix

114
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:54,000
volume or a mix knob that's either going towards mic or USB. Interesting. Can you plug a USB

115
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:02,640
C microphone into this? That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that. I mean, it'd be

116
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:12,000
the USB audio. I would lean towards no. Because I feel like that USB C port is more for delivering

117
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:20,720
power to the device. No, there's a five volt power right next to it. Like there's that little circle.

118
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,400
You should definitely pull this up while we're talking about this. Because we're going to say

119
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,120
some things that don't make sense. So like just to the. If you're looking at the first picture,

120
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:38,480
just to the right of the RJ 45 port, there's a little circle. I think that's the power.

121
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Really? And then the USB C, if you look on the next picture, it labels the USB C as USB audio.

122
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,320
So I don't know. And that's bi-directional. That's true. I do see that on the bottom side.

123
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,760
It's so I think that would be audio in out. I think that would normally be like the like

124
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:03,440
for connecting to your computer to get the audio recording out to. I'm not seeing another way to do.

125
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,920
Well, you do have a handy dandy USB mic at your disposal.

126
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,680
I do. Anyway, these are fun things to

127
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,720
problem solve. And if you buy one, then we'll know for sure, Chris.

128
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,920
No pressure. No pressure. Or, you know, audio sigma. Hit us up.

129
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:30,560
Well, that'd be nice. We'll record off your device and tell everybody how awesome it is.

130
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,800
Or not awesome. Not promising anything. Depends on how much money they give us.

131
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:47,520
He can be bought. Okay. Yeah, that's some good.

132
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Now my brain's going to be mulling that over all night long.

133
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,360
Well, see, this is where we've got to figure out. How can you spend money on the show

134
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,760
and it becomes a tax write off? I mean, I think I could easily spend money on the show and have it

135
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,640
be a tax write off. I'm more interested in how to spend money on the show that becomes a tax write

136
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:16,640
off that also makes money for me. That's true, too. I'm really good at not having to spend money on

137
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:27,120
that. Not breaking even. I have no problem having zero taxable income when it comes to buying things

138
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:36,800
for things that I'm doing. Mercy. Little toasty.

139
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:49,120
I'm not even drinking the one that's supposed to heat me up. Had to turn on the AC a little bit.

140
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:58,000
It's 74. That's warm for me. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. They've also got a Mike Hero DSP that's just

141
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,200
a single input. Correct. That'd be interesting to, like you said, daisy chain these bad boys together

142
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:16,960
and then, yeah, that's fun. I have a friend who asked me this week for, he was asking for a USB

143
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,560
mic and I was like, oh, I got this solution. I've got this solution and I handed him one.

144
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Then I found out the next day when I heard from him, I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot you have a PC.

145
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:34,960
That box that I gave you is not going to work, I guess. I didn't even realize it was Mac only.

146
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:44,640
What did you give him? It was a UA arrow. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, some of their gear is

147
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:52,240
Mac only. I mean, I always check before I buy something, but I don't remember after I've bought

148
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:59,680
the... Although I feel like the arrow. It may be, I mean, that one could be eight years old.

149
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:06,800
I don't know. It's Thunderbolt. Yeah, it was definitely Thunderbolt. Yeah, if it's the

150
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:12,560
Thunderbolt 3 model, then it's probably not going to go to them. Not going to make the leap.

151
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:21,760
Anyway, so I got to dig into my bag and find one of the other options, which is not hard.

152
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:30,080
Just requires remembering to do it. That's true. Hey, let's talk about Ubiquiti.

153
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,920
Yeah, let's talk Ubiquiti. Ubiquiti, UniFi, UI.

154
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:48,720
UISP. Can we get... LNNOP. I mean, just guys. We need to work on branding in a way that

155
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:56,000
people understand they're talking about one thing. Yes, and as always, this is not sponsored.

156
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Everything you hear... Yet. Well, not sponsored yet. Don't be such a pessimist.

157
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,480
So everything you hear is our honest opinion. We can trash it all we want or praise it all we want.

158
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:14,640
Yeah, I'm probably going to praise UniFi. Yeah. It's made my life a lot easier.

159
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,200
I'm definitely going to have some good things to say for both. I'll have some things that I'm like,

160
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:26,240
I should probably change that, but... Okay, so let's... So basically, Ubiquiti essentially has

161
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:33,040
two sides of the house. You have UniFi, which I consider prosumer. Some people may not like

162
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:42,640
that term. Yeah. The only reason I don't like it is because I fall into it so often. I like the ease

163
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:51,840
of the consumer products and I like the pro of the pro products. Pro products, yes. But it really

164
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:58,800
does kind of... Makes me feel like a shlup though. Throwing out that term. But it does work great at

165
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:04,720
home. We both have it at home. We both have it at home. Absolutely love it. Yeah. But it's also

166
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:10,160
great for small business. Great for small business. And even up to some medium business applications.

167
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:16,640
Yeah. Can be managed locally. You don't have to use the cloud option, but it's there. It is.

168
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:24,240
So I love the fact that if I want to, I can hit it local and do whatever I want to do. Yeah.

169
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,880
You don't have to. You don't. Yeah. You're not specifically tied to the cloud, which is nice.

170
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,600
It's really clean. But the cloud does come in handy, I'm just saying. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

171
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,240
When you're away and you can go, oh, hey, I can fix that. So really clean and easy to use

172
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:50,160
web interface for management. That same interface does translate to the local interface. So it's not

173
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,200
like when you're on the cloud side, it looks one way. And when you're managing it locally,

174
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,240
it looks a completely different way. So that's kind of nice. Yeah. They offer a couple of different

175
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,880
applications in their stack, if you will. There's the network app. That's pretty straightforward

176
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:13,840
on what that is. They have Protect, which is camera and security. You have Access, which is all around

177
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:23,600
doors, elevators, and different doors that you would like to access. Talk is their phone solution.

178
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:30,480
And then Connect is fairly new for them. And that is going to be around digital signage.

179
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:38,400
Digital signage, basically IoT. Yeah. Because they, well, I'm jumping ahead, so I won't say that.

180
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:48,720
Yeah. No, there's quite a few things that they want to pull you into with Connect. And this,

181
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:56,720
to me, feels like their enterprise, your face. And I'm adjusting to the better. We maybe jump

182
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:04,080
into the Hoffbra. No, no, no, no. I'm committed. I've already started. I'll finish. Yeah.

183
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:16,560
Yeah. This feels like they're venturing to Connect and everything. They've been pushing

184
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:27,600
up the features on their switches and the dream machine, which we'll talk about. But they've also

185
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:33,760
been pushing up on the side of it that I feel like is more they're like, we really want to be

186
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:41,360
enterprise. We really want to be bigger business. We want full structure. Yeah, they want to have

187
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:49,040
their own full stack environment. And so Connect are these candy things that are just, wow, that'd

188
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:56,320
be nice. And I think that's going to pull a lot of people their direction. Oh, absolutely. Because

189
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,520
you have a single pane of glass to manage it all. Glad they asked me when they were doing their

190
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,880
roadmap for development. Also, they've got an ad campaign with the

191
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:14,160
Apple. They've got an ad campaign, which I've never seen on actual TV, but it's very

192
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:25,600
Justin Long Apple ad campaign. If you guys remember that where it was Justin was the

193
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:31,840
Apple and the PC. Yeah, there was a nerdy guy was the PC. Yes, he was. My people's.

194
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:40,160
Your people. Anyway, so if you go to UI.com, you're going to see that side. You can go through.

195
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:49,200
Those are pretty funny. They are. Even if you're not a fan. Anyway, where do you want to start?

196
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:56,320
Well, we'll hit the UISP side real quick before we hit the line. Sorry. It's okay.

197
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,080
So UISP is their Internet Service Provider offering. You may sometime hear it referred

198
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:08,400
to as WISP, a wireless Internet Service Provider. Big things in there are going to be wireless

199
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,960
bridging. And you're going to be able to push some serious distance in the bridging that they

200
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:19,840
offer in that lineup up to 12 kilometers or for us Americans at seven miles. Listen, I

201
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:25,440
involve I included the Europeans in the world. I want you to know we're sticking with the miles.

202
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:31,680
Yes, we are sticking with the miles. So they go any they start off at five gigahertz. There's an

203
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:37,360
11 gigahertz, which is the beginning, if I remember correctly, of a microwave. Yeah, there's 24

204
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:43,040
gigahertz all the way up to 60 gigahertz. Obviously, more gigs is more bandwidth. More

205
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,320
bandwidth. But more bandwidth also comes with tighter tolerances. If you don't know what we're

206
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,840
talking about, and we went through this in depth, I don't know how many shows ago. It's been a few.

207
00:23:53,840 --> 00:24:00,800
It's been a few shows, but look for the one where we talk about. Maybe we'll link it. We'll link it

208
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:08,240
in the notes. How about that? What's up podcast? We have to find it. We can find it later. It's fine.

209
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,920
Will you send me down the rabbit hole? I don't know. Okay. So anyways. Oh, no. The brain is

210
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:21,120
functioning. Yes. Higher gigahertz basically just translates to more bandwidth, which is great. But

211
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:27,760
you had tighter tolerances. So when it rains, you will know it. They also go into fiber GPON,

212
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:33,360
which is Gigabit Passive Opting Network. I don't know what you just said. Think of that as fiber

213
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:41,120
to the doorstep is how I would describe it. And then of course they have their own wired line of

214
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:50,960
edge routers and switches that are specific to the service provider side. I mean, I have fiber

215
00:24:51,600 --> 00:25:02,080
to my doorstep. You do. And it possibly could be a PON or GPON solution. You'd have to ask your

216
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:11,600
provider. Interesting. Yeah. And then you said wired edge line of router and switches. Yes. So now

217
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:18,400
we can get to where you wanted to go. Yes. And just kind of go over the lineup of Unifi.

218
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,280
I want to hit a few pieces as we go through this. I don't want to go too deep

219
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:30,640
because I definitely want to come back in future shows and dig in more on the Unifi.

220
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:37,680
Hi. Ubiquiti, are you listening? We're doing a whole series. Just for you. We're going to be

221
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:48,160
here for a while. Just for you. Just for you. Anyway, it's going to be great. Yeah. Blame it

222
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:56,160
on the beer. Wow. He got weird. OK. Unifi lineup. Yeah. So they start with their cloud gateway.

223
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:04,400
You can think of this a couple of different ways. Essentially, it's the heart of the network for

224
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,960
Unifi. Yeah. Foundational. Yes. Whether it is literally just the controller piece that allows

225
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:19,360
you to configure equipment or if it is the controller with the router and some switching

226
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:25,600
and some camera capabilities baked into it. And why wouldn't you want all of them?

227
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:31,840
All the things. All the things. Unless you like things to be more granular. And they meet people

228
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:39,120
halfway there. Yes. And I am grateful that they meet halfway. Yes. But that's not me. So one quick

229
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:45,520
example. I'm an all-in kind of guy. There you go. One quick example is their dream machine lineup.

230
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:53,280
Yeah. You know, here at the church, we use the dream machine special edition. We do. We went

231
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,720
all the way up to the special edition. Yes, we did. Pretty quickly, too. We had to climb that

232
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:05,120
ladder. We had some lightning strikes that made us climb that ladder fast. Yeah. So this has,

233
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:11,680
basically, that controller built in. Yes. It has a eight-port switch with Peely baked in.

234
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:18,800
You have dedicated internet ports. You can do a total of... I think there's eight of those on the...

235
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:27,840
There's eight switch ports. Eight switch ports. Yes. Which can all do... There's two PoE plus and

236
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:37,360
six PoE. Okay. So depending upon your power needs, you can do 10 gig SFP if you need it. There is

237
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:47,120
also a two and a half gig RJ45 that's dedicated to WAN. So if you have some of that really nice

238
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:54,160
fiber internet that is capable of breaking a gig, you're ready to roll. And it can handle up to

239
00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:01,360
three and a half gigs gigabit per second of routing with intrusion detection and prevention turned on.

240
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:08,240
Yeah. Which is really nice. It's a big deal. You've got a single hard drive bay or protect

241
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:15,040
so that if you have the camera, you can store your recordings. They have one with two now.

242
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,600
Yeah. We're just talking about the special edition. Sorry. Let's go. Yes. So yeah, this is just a

243
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,560
special edition. My bad. Yeah. I get off topic. You're chasing rabbit holes. I am. I'm like,

244
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,680
oh, but they came out with... Because they are constantly coming out with... They are. The next.

245
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:36,240
They are. Sorry. Go ahead. And then it has the nice neat little touchscreen on the front. Yeah.

246
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:42,560
And that has been handier, I will say, than I expected it to be. It is. I do love... The

247
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,880
like they've... The touchscreen on the front also has the ability to work as a like almost... What

248
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:57,120
is it called? Where you hold your phone up to it and it gives you the information. Oh, augmented

249
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,560
reality. Thank you. Augmented reality. Yes. It has the ability to do that as well. So you can actually

250
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:11,440
see on your phone what the different ports are and not have to look at it on your screen in a

251
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,240
different... Correct. Whatever. But that's pretty darn cool. It's an interesting touch. But the

252
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:23,840
touchscreen by itself is cool. Yes. To be able to walk in to that room and flip through and be like,

253
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:29,920
oh, that's a caution. What am I looking for? And see real quickly without having to pull out my

254
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,880
phone, without having to pull out my computer, to be able to see those things is really... Correct.

255
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,560
A great touch. Correct. So I'm going to rabbit hole real quick. Yeah. We won't go over it. They

256
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:48,480
appear to have added a new product to this lineup and get this name, Enterprise Fortress Gateway.

257
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,960
Okay. So why don't you call it a fortress? I have to buy it. Yeah. I was about to say,

258
00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:00,960
they know who their suckers are, don't they? Because they didn't say... Take my money. Yeah.

259
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,320
They could have said so many things, but they said fortress. And now all of us

260
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:11,680
security nerds are like, wait a minute. My Dream Machine special edition is now insufficient.

261
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:18,080
And I can't be... I have to have the fortress. Ridiculously undermanned. I just have a special

262
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:25,520
edition. What if a fortress comes along? Correct. No, they know what they're doing.

263
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,920
They know what they're doing. Correct. Is that in the enterprise scale?

264
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,480
Yeah. I would like to think so with a name like Enterprise Fortress.

265
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,040
I mean, yeah. Designed for massive scale. Holy cow. It's expensive.

266
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:49,680
Effortlessly manages 500 plus. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Now you've got me. Yep. Nope. There it

267
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:56,480
is. That's not good. Come back. Come back. You know when you've got the double power supply.

268
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:02,560
Yeah. That's a real thing. Okay. Oh yeah. I'm going to have to look at that when I don't have

269
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,360
to think about other things. Shoot. And then the one other thing that falls into this,

270
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:15,200
although I thought about putting it under miscellaneous, is they do have a hosted version

271
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,680
of... And the way that it reads, if somebody out there knows otherwise, let me know. But it reads

272
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:28,480
like you're mostly just controlling network. It doesn't read anything about protect, access, talk,

273
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:36,000
or anything. So they have two different offerings out there right now. I believe one will manage

274
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:47,520
up to... Let me look it up so I'm not lying. Yeah. They need to be lying. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, where did it

275
00:31:47,520 --> 00:32:00,560
go? Where did it go? Unify Hosting. So $29 a month gets you... Where are you at? Oh, I don't want to

276
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:08,160
sign that. I have no idea what you're... Yeah. I'm dealing with over there. They're making it

277
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,920
difficult for me to find this because there's... Okay. While you're doing that, I want to say real

278
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:17,280
quick, the Dream Machine Special Edition is the one that we have. The one that I was talking about

279
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:27,280
that has the two hard drive slots is the Dream Machine Pro Max. Have they been watching Apple?

280
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,480
They're former Apple guys. What do you expect? It's just... That is one of my complaints.

281
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:40,720
Hard to overlook that. But I will say it... So the Dream Machine Pro, you would expect to be... I don't

282
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,960
know, just because it says Pro, would expect to be better than the Special Edition. I'm going to take

283
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:52,000
the Special Edition over the Pro every time if you look at the specs. Really the only difference is

284
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:06,400
the Special Edition has the PoE Plus and 6 PoE. It doesn't list that on the other two. Correct.

285
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:17,280
And then the Pro Max has two of the NVR HDD bays. Correct. Correct. So I found it $29 a month,

286
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:26,400
up to 100 devices, and 100 bucks a month, up to 1,000 devices. But that appears to only be on

287
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,240
the network side of things. Okay. So take that for what you will.

288
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:41,600
All right. Shifting gears to switches. Switches. Don't need no switches. Well, I do want to say,

289
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:50,720
like there are... They do now have the... In the controller side of things, the

290
00:33:53,600 --> 00:34:00,400
Dream Machines that we have don't look like they're a thing anymore. That's interesting. Now they

291
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,920
look like Mac Minis. Oh, no, there it is. There's the Dream Router. The Dream Router. They have the

292
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:13,600
Express though, and the Dream Wall. The Wall was an interesting concept. Yeah. I don't know that we...

293
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,560
I looked at it for us. It is very interesting. I'll just put it that way.

294
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:29,840
Anyway, it looks like one of the newfangled... Tesla Powerwalls. Tesla Powerwalls. Exactly.

295
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,160
Yes. And then the Express looks like a Mac Mini. It's a white Mac Mini. I think it's actually

296
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:42,960
sitting next to an Apple TV in that video I just saw. That's hilarious. So maybe it's more the size

297
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:52,720
of an Apple TV. Anyway. Yeah. So they're both like, I would say those, the Compact and the Dream Machine

298
00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:07,760
that we have... Dream Router, sorry. Those are more like home devices. Yes. Go ahead. Onward to

299
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,680
switching. Onward to switches. Switches. So as you look through that lineup, you're going to see more

300
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:22,640
familiar. Apple Nomenclature. Yep. Pro and the Pro Max. Oh, but it says professional. Oh, it does.

301
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:31,440
It can't be being exactly the same. So they have anything from small 5 to 8 port switches

302
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:38,640
up to your 24 to 48 port switches, depending on your density of what you need. They have non-POE.

303
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:48,320
They have POE, POE plus. Yeah. Definitely be very specific about when you're planning your

304
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:54,800
purchases out, how much of that you need. Yes. You definitely need to calculate your POE carefully.

305
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,480
It's not hard to run out. Nobody wants to use injectors anymore. No. Not if you can avoid it.

306
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:08,240
They do have them if you need them. They do. But that is such a bummer every time I have to run one.

307
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:15,920
Absolutely. Go ahead. So switch ports go anywhere from a gig to 10 gig, and they do have the

308
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:22,160
two and a half gig multi-gig option in between, depending on your needs. That's down. Two and a

309
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:31,200
half gig is nice if you have access points that can take advantage of that. I find myself wanting it,

310
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:39,760
but then I go, well, some of my fiber trunks are only a gig, and my internet connection

311
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:45,440
is less than a gig. So what am I actually trying to achieve? Because yeah, sure, I could do

312
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:51,440
two and a half gig in theory with that access point, but unless it's device to device,

313
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:58,320
you're not accomplishing a whole lot there. Because every other connection downstream

314
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:06,080
is less and becomes the bottleneck. Yeah. That's a problem. Yeah. Gotta remember which way the

315
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:14,800
tree roots go on that one. And then as we talked about, they have their lineup,

316
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,600
their lineup, there's their standard line, which is typically non-POE. They have their Pro,

317
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,480
their Pro Max, and their Enterprise, and those are going to be bringing in the POE,

318
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:35,040
and then the multi-gig and 10 gig. Yeah. 10 gig down, 25 gig up. That's insane. And that is

319
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:42,560
partially to enable, I guess, at least from what I can tell, this Pro AV support that they have

320
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:50,560
on the Enterprise. Yes. Well, I guess they have that on the Pro Max and the Pro as well. Anyway.

321
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:58,320
I want to go ahead and say one of our areas of things that we should talk about is this

322
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:05,280
AV support. Let's talk about that at some point. Okay. List that under the future.

323
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:17,680
Future episodes. Future episodes. Yeah, but you can really see a lot of flexibility and a lot of,

324
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:23,360
you know, like you don't have to buy the thing that does way more than you need.

325
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:30,080
But also, why wouldn't you want to buy the thing that does way more than you need?

326
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:36,960
I feel like Tim Allen right now. Or Tim, sorry, Tim Taylor. Tim Allen was the actor.

327
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:44,240
Yeah. I just need, I need more power. That's, every time we look at switches, I'm like,

328
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:49,840
yeah, well, what's the top? Correct. And so I was going to say to those who were playing along,

329
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:55,920
you may look at some of these prices and go, ouch. And some of them can get a little expensive.

330
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:03,280
But when you start looking at Cisco, you start looking at Juniper, you start looking at Meraki,

331
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:12,640
you go, oh, that's actually not so bad. Yeah. They're not, they're not bad.

332
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:18,320
No, they're not at all. Even in the enterprise line, which is their highest level as you go,

333
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:30,880
you can pick up a 48 port POE plus switch with 2.5 gig multi gig ethernet for $1,600.

334
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:39,920
Yeah. It's just not bad. No, not bad at all. I like this mission critical one. That's always fun.

335
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,080
And it's also, and that switch that I was talking about is also layer three capable.

336
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:50,160
Layer three capable. Oh, layer three. There's an old episode for that one too.

337
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,880
Was that not the same? Did we not do that at the same time? They were around the same time.

338
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,440
I know that. We talked about layers. They're really close. Yeah. So man.

339
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,360
Yes. The seven layer burrito. The seven layer burrito. Yes.

340
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:10,080
Coming to you from Ubiquiti. No, sorry. They should name one of their switches,

341
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:16,400
the seven layer burrito. That would be awesome. No, it wouldn't. Nobody would buy that.

342
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,640
We should have named that episode that seven layer burrito. Yes. Absolutely.

343
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:28,720
When we do it again, we'll do that. How about that? There you go. Why not? Yeah. Access points.

344
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,880
Access points. You will sometimes hear me refer to these as radios.

345
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,720
Or APs. Or APs. I tend to say radio most of the time.

346
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:41,520
If you say radio, I usually say AP. Yes. It's a generational thing.

347
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,160
He's just calling me old. Listen, X.

348
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,840
I know that this has turned some color. Yeah, it has.

349
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:55,680
That's what you get for being a redhead or whatever.

350
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,080
Yes. That's what I give for approaching 50. Oh man. That's what it is.

351
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,920
Sad comment. Yeah. You'll get there someday.

352
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:11,680
I will. Whippersnapper. I will or I won't. It's fine. I have a negotiation ongoing with Godward.

353
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,240
I go first. I'm not going to any of my friend's funerals.

354
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:23,120
There you go. I get radio from my first boss at Pine Cove, Tom McKeon.

355
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Tom McKeon. Legend. The man, the myth, the legend.

356
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,760
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have ever been at Pine Cove.

357
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:35,040
Wow. Well, that and the fact that the other person chose static assignment of addresses

358
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,840
rather than DHCP. Really?

359
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,080
Really. He told me that was the difference. It was down to me and one other person.

360
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,000
And they chose static. And they said that they would rather

361
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,920
things be statically assigned so that they could have control over it.

362
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:54,240
And I said DHCP because I don't care what IP is out there.

363
00:41:54,240 --> 00:42:00,000
There's a handful of devices that are static. But the vast majority, I don't care what their IP is.

364
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,440
That's the beauty of DHCP. I don't have to worry about it. I get out of the way.

365
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,880
Wow. That's a pretty big difference there.

366
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,520
There's a D cut from 2005.

367
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,640
Makes me feel like that guy didn't ever work on big networks.

368
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,760
I would assume he didn't. Because, I mean, no.

369
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,080
DHCP is your friend. You can't static everything.

370
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:25,520
It's one thing if you say, instead of a static, I want to do a reservation. Okay, fine.

371
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:30,080
But if you truly want to static things, you're asking for trouble.

372
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,240
Yeah, that's not good. You're asking for trouble.

373
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:35,600
Anyway. Okay. So back out of that rabbit hole.

374
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,680
And coming back.

375
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:44,000
Radios. You can still find some of their older ones out there. But I wouldn't go

376
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:51,840
any further back than the Wi-Fi AC or Wi-Fi 5. Ideally, you really should be buying,

377
00:42:51,840 --> 00:43:00,960
at a minimum, 6 or 6E. If you can get the 7, it's worth it. It's the latest and greatest.

378
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,200
It will be worth it later, for sure.

379
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,440
It will definitely future-proof your purchase.

380
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,600
And then, of course, they have the standard indoor and outdoor varieties.

381
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:15,200
Yeah, I'm looking at some of these going, I don't remember these being an option.

382
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,560
This is weird.

383
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,040
Yes.

384
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,720
Like, they've got so many new ones.

385
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:19,920
And then they have...

386
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,680
That one's called the Swiss Army Knife.

387
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,920
Yeah, we'll talk about that one here in a minute.

388
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,040
Oh my gosh.

389
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:30,880
So they do have building-to-building bridge, which is nice if you had no choice but to do

390
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:36,640
wireless between. You're buying a matched set, if you will. And then, of course,

391
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:42,000
we have some of these. They have their in-wall options. You might think of those as a hospitality

392
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:47,680
type access point that you would install in a hotel room or...

393
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:49,840
Real low-profile.

394
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,240
Yes.

395
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:51,360
Made for a room.

396
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,040
Made for a room. Absolutely.

397
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:54,560
Yeah.

398
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,480
Absolutely. So let's pull up that.

399
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:01,520
That's been really handy. I mean, you know, but I will tell everybody, that's been really handy in

400
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:08,480
some of our classroom situations because it has ports coming out of it as well.

401
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:09,200
It does.

402
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,080
So you, you know, one in and then ports coming out. They're not PoE.

403
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,280
But if you've got things that you want to hardwire in that you don't need PoE for...

404
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,240
Like an Apple TV.

405
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:25,840
Like an Apple TV and a TV and a DVD player. I mean, like all of these things, just having

406
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:31,680
a few ports at the bottom of this AP... Yeah, sorry, radio.

407
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Radio. AP works.

408
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:41,680
At the bottom of this radio has been very handy, way handier than I really even dreamed it would be

409
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:47,200
whenever I first started using them. And then we also have... I don't know. I don't even see it

410
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:52,800
on here. Am I just missing it? We have an extender that we also use.

411
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,240
Yeah, the Wi-Fi 6 extender.

412
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:55,760
Where is that?

413
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:01,760
Oh, there it is. Yeah, U6 extender. We have that in one of our rooms as well,

414
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:10,400
because we have a device that's a little bit too far away from a radio and needed an extra boost.

415
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,040
Yes, it did.

416
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,640
And I have said it and forget it. I don't even remember that it's there most of the time.

417
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:17,040
Correct.

418
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,160
But I came across it the other day when I was moving a piece of furniture. I was like,

419
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,280
oh, that's where that is.

420
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,280
Hi, friend. Good to see you're still working.

421
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,280
I haven't had to think about you. And that's my favorite piece of

422
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,000
network gear is the piece that I don't have to remember is there.

423
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,080
Remember or think about. So let's talk the Swiss Army Knife.

424
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,640
Yeah, I want to talk about the Swiss Army Knife.

425
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,840
It's cheap at $89. It's an interesting little device. Now, it is Wi-Fi 5.

426
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,920
So it is a little bit older.

427
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,280
Which means they're going to come out with a new one here at some point.

428
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:54,000
I'm sure at some point. But it can be used indoor or outdoor.

429
00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:02,080
It has different mounting options. It can handle up to 200 connected devices.

430
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,680
You can obviously power it with PoE.

431
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:06,960
Yeah, I'm seeing it on a pole and on a concrete wall.

432
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,640
And yeah, you can do regular wall mount or ceiling mount.

433
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,960
It does have the ability for external antennas.

434
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:16,640
Yeah, I see that.

435
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:17,440
Yes.

436
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:22,000
So does it come with external antennas or you have to... Oh, let me see in the box.

437
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,800
No, I believe you have to buy the antennas separate.

438
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,800
No, no, you missed it there.

439
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,160
But you don't necessarily have to have them because it does have an internal...

440
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:30,960
I'm just saying...

441
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:31,360
Antenna.

442
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,200
...quity. Hence the name.

443
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,000
Maybe $95.

444
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,440
The Swiss Army Knife.

445
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,520
Maybe $95. We have some antennas.

446
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,920
But that is the Apple coming out of them and going...

447
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,360
You know, you can buy that for $30 extra.

448
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,600
You want the antennas. That's a little bit more money.

449
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:46,100
Mm-hmm.

450
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,760
So interesting little product.

451
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:50,560
Yeah.

452
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:51,760
Incredibly versatile.

453
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,360
What's the... Okay, I got to go back to the data sheet real quick.

454
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,000
Wind survivability. You got to love that.

455
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,080
125 miles an hour.

456
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,160
Oh, gosh. So that's what...

457
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:04,720
What kind of...

458
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:05,680
Category two?

459
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,800
Yeah, what kind of testing did they do on a wind tunnel?

460
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,800
They installed them in Florida.

461
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,320
And they were like, about 125 miles an hour. That's when they all came out.

462
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:18,480
Yes. So...

463
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,280
Oh, wow.

464
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,480
Interesting little product. Very versatile.

465
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:23,200
It is MIMO.

466
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:24,240
And what it can do. It is.

467
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:34,800
Okay. Antenna gain at 2.4 gigahertz. It is 4.7 dBi. And 5 gigahertz at 6.1. There you go.

468
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,040
There's one internal antenna and then two external.

469
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,320
Yes. So interesting little product.

470
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:46,880
Wow. Yeah. No, I'm intrigued.

471
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,040
Because it's tiny, right? It doesn't look big at all.

472
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:53,440
No, it does not.

473
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,600
Okay. It's like five inches by three inches.

474
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:58,960
The size of your hand.

475
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,640
Yeah. The size of your hand. That's great.

476
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,840
Ooh, marketing images. You got to love that.

477
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:05,760
Okay. Let's move on.

478
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,000
He went down the rabbit hole.

479
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,760
Yeah, I did. Sorry. It happens.

480
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,920
Okay. I think I'm going to go for the next beer.

481
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,560
Okay. Which one are you doing?

482
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:16,640
Okay.

483
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,880
I got to go obsidian because I've had the...

484
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,800
You're going to have to try the obsidian.

485
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:21,760
The dunkle.

486
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,200
Can I get that opener from you, though?

487
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,520
Yes. Just do it on the table.

488
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:28,660
Okay.

489
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,480
Oh, it went all over my laptop.

490
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:39,040
Oh, don't. Wait, that's not mine. It's fine. That's not one of mine.

491
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,560
That's yours. Go ahead and run it.

492
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,200
Yeah. I don't have to do support on your laptop.

493
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,360
Don't say it so emphatically, Chris.

494
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,240
No, you will not be touching my laptop with your apple fingers.

495
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:53,360
With your grimy hands.

496
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:55,280
Okay.

497
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:01,040
Okay. So next up is camera slash security. They refer to this as protect.

498
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:09,440
Yes. And that's the app and both the control app and then the app that you can get on your phone

499
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:14,560
are both called protect. You see what I'm saying? It's like smooth and then it gets bitter.

500
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:15,920
Yeah. It's like, hi friend.

501
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:17,280
Ow.

502
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:23,840
Oh. I like it better than the old Rasputin.

503
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:24,720
Okay.

504
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,720
So plus it looks like it's got Erebor on the label.

505
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:30,160
It really does.

506
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,920
I was like, that really looks like the lonely man. There needs to be a dragon above it.

507
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,320
Yes. A red dragon.

508
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,240
A red dragon above it. But other than that.

509
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,680
Now I want to go humming the songs, but I'm not going to do it.

510
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:53,760
You are such a nerd. This is the area that I wish that we had access to earlier.

511
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:54,800
Earlier. Absolutely.

512
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,720
Because if we had had this earlier, then I would have pushed for this earlier.

513
00:49:58,720 --> 00:49:58,880
Correct.

514
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,440
And then we would have these instead of having multiple.

515
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:02,960
Multiple services.

516
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,640
Services that I don't appreciate.

517
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,720
Well, we can always try to make the business case for why you need to switch.

518
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,880
It's just a tough one when you've got as many buildings as we do to go back and retrofit.

519
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,080
But the beauty is all that cabling is already in place.

520
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,840
That's true. We don't have to recable.

521
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:26,560
And all you do is just install the new camera with a new NVR and you're good to go.

522
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,600
So you see why it's good to have Chris around?

523
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,440
Because he can just talk you into anything.

524
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:32,640
Yes.

525
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:33,680
You know you want to.

526
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:34,320
Yes.

527
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,720
Okay. So camera security.

528
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:37,280
Yes.

529
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:37,920
Protect.

530
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,760
Protect. They have a very broad line of cameras in this.

531
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,360
They have two different NVRs. They have a smaller 1U.

532
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:54,720
That is going to be good for roughly up to 30 days of recording.

533
00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:59,440
It really depends on how your settings are and what your triggers.

534
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:04,640
Correct. So the number of cameras, what quality of the recording.

535
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,800
Are you recording all the time? Are you recording motion only?

536
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,000
Then they have the larger option.

537
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,800
And I don't remember if it's 2U or 3U.

538
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:16,960
I think it's just 2.

539
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,560
I was thinking 2U. That looks 2U. I would agree. 2U.

540
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:27,920
2U. That one they say 60 days. I can speak to this one in particular.

541
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:33,920
We use it at work. We've got way more than 60 days of recordings.

542
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:34,720
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

543
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,200
The 30 days is what they say on the other one and I guarantee.

544
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,360
You can go a lot longer than that.

545
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,200
So we, for just to clarify, we only record on motion.

546
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,800
But when you've got people in a camp store, there's constant motion.

547
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,320
Yeah. So it's basically all the time.

548
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,640
Correct. And I think we record at 720. We do not record at the full 1080.

549
00:51:54,640 --> 00:52:00,000
Yeah. And so then like the other side of this is if you are wanting a

550
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:07,360
controller for cameras and things like that without the recording on them, they still have

551
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:13,600
the cloud keys as options for being able to

552
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,800
control a camera setup to be able to see things.

553
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:25,600
Correct. And the CloudKey Plus does have actually a single hard drive bay.

554
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:26,320
Oh, does it?

555
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:31,360
Yeah. So at the church we used to have the original slim line.

556
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,080
It's got a one terabyte already installed.

557
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,000
Oh, well, it wasn't that way when I bought mine.

558
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:38,640
Yeah.

559
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:43,840
That's nice. So the one that we used to have was almost think like a burrito.

560
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:49,440
Mm-hmm. So there was no ability to put a hard drive in it, but then the

561
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:56,960
plus does give you the hard drive capability. So it could be a cheaper way to step your way in.

562
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,640
And then of course they have different styles of cameras. They have turret,

563
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:08,800
they have the bullet, they have dome, they have PTZ, and then they have the really small

564
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:15,040
camera, really about the size of the palm of your hand that come with some different mounting

565
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:21,840
capabilities. Those are typically going to be powered by USB-C, but you can get some USB-C to

566
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,840
ethernet adapters so that you could technically power via POE.

567
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:31,040
And then I'm seeing that they've got, because they've got the doorbells now.

568
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:31,920
They have the ding-dongs.

569
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,600
They're looking very nest or ring.

570
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:36,400
Yes.

571
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:41,440
They also have, because of that, they have the smart chime and the protect flood light.

572
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,440
They do have the flood light, yes. That's a new one.

573
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,120
Ooh, and an all-in-one sensor.

574
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:51,040
Yes. It really is all-in-one. I mean, it picks up motion, temperature, humidity, lighting.

575
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:51,600
Oh my gosh.

576
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:56,080
It can tell you the state of whether the door is open or closed. In one of the videos, they show

577
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:56,880
it on your garage door.

578
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:57,680
Wait, how's it doing that?

579
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:58,880
And it's capable of-

580
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,680
I'm not seeing an external. It's not doing a

581
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:09,280
contact. I don't see. Okay. I think it's using the, on an internal door window, I do believe it is

582
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:18,000
using the motion sensor to determine that. On a garage door, it's obviously using the motion.

583
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:23,840
Yeah. So if you look at, in the box, you see some extra pieces that I think are helping with that.

584
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,240
And then if you get the three-pack, you also see the motion sensor.

585
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:32,000
Yes, you do.

586
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:40,320
In the north with your basements that could be filling with water right now.

587
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,360
I will tell you, I wish I had one of these in my garage.

588
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:53,360
I had a loose connection come up on my water line that was dripping, and I didn't notice it until

589
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,280
some of the carpet in the house was a little soaked.

590
00:54:55,280 --> 00:55:01,840
Did I ever tell you about mine when we did our remodel of our kitchen at our old house?

591
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,240
It's sounding vaguely familiar, yes.

592
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:12,640
So we did our remodel at our old house, and they had to do some stuff in the area around the

593
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:15,440
water heater.

594
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:17,440
Okay.

595
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,440
But it was like, you know, no big deal. They painted these walls. They put some new,

596
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:28,240
had to replace some tiles and then put some new baseboards in and stuff like that.

597
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:38,720
We go to camp, and on our drive back from camp, we get a very excited text from a friend of mine

598
00:55:38,720 --> 00:55:43,360
who had just happened to be staying in our house when he was driving through.

599
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,680
And he said he woke up and went into our kitchen and there was water all over the place.

600
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,680
Not good.

601
00:55:51,680 --> 00:56:01,440
And what had happened was, what had happened was, when one of the workers had thrown a nail into

602
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:09,440
one of the baseboards, it nicked the water line going into the water heater, but did not break it.

603
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,440
It just weakened it.

604
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:18,960
It just weakened it. And then, you know how those brass water lines just vibrated?

605
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:23,120
The water lines just vibrate very slightly and very quickly.

606
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:28,000
It had finally, that little nail had worn its way through.

607
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:35,680
And that thing shot a stream of water so high-pressured through the drywall,

608
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,680
and it was just spraying across the room.

609
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,520
I don't doubt it.

610
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:45,280
Anyway, it was a crazy thing. And also so grateful that my friend was there, or we would have been in serious trouble.

611
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,440
So, water sensors.

612
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:48,240
They can be important.

613
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:50,960
Not just for the people in the North, I guess.

614
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,520
Yeah, so I have one now in my garage.

615
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,760
I want to put one behind my washer.

616
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:03,840
And I did have a small leak under the kitchen sink, so I wouldn't mind putting one in there as well.

617
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,400
But these are really nice, really simple.

618
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:09,920
They just work.

619
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:12,160
And then the other thing that they have...

620
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,040
What did you just say?

621
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:13,760
They just work.

622
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:15,120
Yes.

623
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,800
It's like a PC. They just work.

624
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,520
Oh. Anyway.

625
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:27,920
And then the last thing that they have in here, which I guess kind of fits, is what they call a viewport.

626
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:32,160
And that has to do with the fact that this is your camera system for security.

627
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:38,160
It basically plugs into your monitor, and then the other side plugs into the network,

628
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,560
and it lets you see your camera feeds.

629
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,880
I will say, that's so thoughtful.

630
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:45,440
Yes.

631
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,480
Because the other ways to do this are just a headache.

632
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:48,720
Yeah.

633
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,400
But just being able to have a monitor, and you plug an HDMI into it, and you're like,

634
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:55,360
well, there it is.

635
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:56,560
Here's your view. Have a good day.

636
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,080
See you later.

637
00:57:58,080 --> 00:57:59,760
Yes. So...

638
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,560
I think that was pretty much it.

639
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:05,120
I don't think there's anything...

640
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:10,800
It's amazing to have one ecosystem that all the things all work together so seamlessly.

641
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,080
And we're not done yet.

642
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:12,560
Yeah.

643
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:13,280
We're not done yet.

644
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,040
Sorry, I was being pointed.

645
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,000
Now I have Monty Python in my head.

646
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:18,800
I'm not dead yet.

647
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:23,360
Yes.

648
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,280
Yes, there we go. Let's move along.

649
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:26,800
Yep.

650
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,960
I said we get into access.

651
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,320
So access being the door side of things.

652
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:41,120
These are your remotely connected doors to be able to turn them, make their schedules

653
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:45,920
or whatever, but also to be able to just use a fob to get inside.

654
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,440
Think your magnet door.

655
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,080
Or with identity.

656
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:51,040
Or with identity.

657
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:52,000
You get in with your phone now.

658
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,280
You just get in with your phone.

659
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:54,560
Don't even have to have a fob.

660
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,000
It's a beautiful thing.

661
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:56,400
I mean...

662
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,080
It's a beautiful thing.

663
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,280
We haven't talked about... You can't be talking about identity.

664
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,720
We haven't talked about identity.

665
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:02,880
Well...

666
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:04,720
Have we?

667
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:06,960
No, we haven't. But it does kind of tag into this.

668
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:07,360
Yes.

669
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,400
So they have their standard door control hub.

670
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,200
When we first looked at this, that was a little bit of a disappointment.

671
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:14,240
Yes, it was.

672
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,400
And that it only controls a single door.

673
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:16,800
Yeah.

674
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,000
We really had thought, man, you should be able to control more than one.

675
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Yeah. I don't want to buy one of these each time.

676
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:24,480
Per door.

677
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:25,120
Per door.

678
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,720
No, it's not good.

679
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:27,840
But they heard us.

680
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,160
They did. It's like they were listening.

681
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,160
They heard the lamentations of their people.

682
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,040
Yes. Thank you for that.

683
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:40,160
Yes. And so they came out with the door control hub enterprise.

684
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:40,480
Yes.

685
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,000
Which can handle up to eight doors.

686
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,920
Now, depending on your situation, if you're retrofitting,

687
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,960
you may have to extend some cabling, depending on how it was run.

688
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,680
But again, in theory, that could potentially...

689
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,360
You could put one of those per building, depending on how many doors you have,

690
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,760
and you're good to go.

691
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,680
So they have various key fob readers.

692
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,480
And the reference there to phone reader for identify.

693
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,240
They have a gate control.

694
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:14,240
So if you had a gate with connectivity, you can control that.

695
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:15,280
They have an elevator.

696
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,040
They have an elevator controller kit.

697
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:18,240
Which is kind of nice.

698
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,640
Guys, we are not that fancy.

699
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,880
We have a couple of elevators here.

700
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,000
Yeah, but we're not controlling entrance into them.

701
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,680
You will be.

702
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,760
That's the wrong voice.

703
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,520
That was Emperor with Yoda.

704
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:34,480
That's not a good mix.

705
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,000
RIP.

706
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,200
You will be.

707
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:38,960
I can't do the phones.

708
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,520
I am still so torn up.

709
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:42,560
That hurt my heart.

710
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:43,120
It really did.

711
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:45,440
Goodness.

712
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:46,000
Yes.

713
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:46,640
And then...

714
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:47,520
And then intercom.

715
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:48,240
Intercom, yes.

716
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,120
And intercom viewer.

717
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:52,400
Yes.

718
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,800
You can have the viewer inside, intercom outside with a camera on it, and you can see.

719
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:58,880
And you can buzz them in.

720
01:00:58,880 --> 01:00:59,680
Love it.

721
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:00,480
Yes.

722
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,440
How many places is this helpful for?

723
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:05,760
Answer all of them.

724
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:06,400
All of them, yes.

725
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:13,760
And this is capable of reusing a lot of existing hardware if you have existing access control.

726
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:18,320
Or if you don't have it, they sell the additional pieces like you need for the door magnets,

727
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:20,640
the strike locks.

728
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:21,440
I think I said that.

729
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:22,880
That's right.

730
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:23,380
Yes.

731
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,000
So they have all the pieces, or you can retrofit an existing system.

732
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,160
And again, all of this can be controlled from that same single pane of glass.

733
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,440
Really, really nice.

734
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:35,940
It is.

735
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,000
It's like they planned it.

736
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,280
It's like they planned it.

737
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:40,880
No big deal.

738
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:41,440
Yeah.

739
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:42,000
Okay.

740
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,240
So from there, the last thing that is...

741
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,800
I kind of got these out of order, so I'll move it.

742
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:55,120
But the last thing that really kind of is baked into the single pane of glass is what they call Connect.

743
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:56,240
Yeah.

744
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,280
And Connect...

745
01:01:58,160 --> 01:01:59,760
Oh, we didn't talk about Talk, did we?

746
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:02,320
No, we did not.

747
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:04,080
Okay, let's talk quickly about it.

748
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:04,880
Quickly about Talk.

749
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:06,640
Great call.

750
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:07,600
Somehow I missed that.

751
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,800
Talk is one of those, like, well, almost duh.

752
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,240
Of course, you're going to have a phone system.

753
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:28,480
What has been really impressive to me is that even before they had all of the door access

754
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:33,680
capability of the intercom and everything like that, they were already thinking this is the

755
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:34,720
direction that they were going.

756
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:42,240
And you can tell by the phone TouchMax and phone Touch, they have a dumbed down version,

757
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,480
which I don't actually see on this list.

758
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,000
I see why I missed it.

759
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,760
It's somehow Talk is buried under new integration.

760
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:50,400
Yeah.

761
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:51,440
That's how I missed it.

762
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:57,280
But all that to say, the two that they're touting,

763
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:02,560
yeah, as the TouchMax and the Touch, they actually have one that we have a bunch of,

764
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:03,840
and I don't see it.

765
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:04,320
Maybe that's...

766
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:06,000
I think they...

767
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:06,720
They've got that.

768
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:12,720
Well, the Basic was just a regular phone, no touchscreen.

769
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:16,960
But the touchscreen has been fantastic because you can actually also, like, you can connect

770
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:20,240
your desk phone to be able to see your cameras.

771
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:20,800
Yes, you can.

772
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,560
Or to be able to see, like, the intercom side of things.

773
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:31,120
And all of that integration then just then lays itself in the same place as what you're

774
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:32,080
doing with your phone.

775
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,120
They also came out with the analog telephone adapter.

776
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:36,560
So if you need to use...

777
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,560
We have this for fax machines.

778
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:41,040
Yes.

779
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,480
We haven't actually put together yet.

780
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:43,040
Don't...

781
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,560
But we use this for fax machines to be able to plug into our...

782
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,760
Plug our...

783
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:52,800
Fax machines.

784
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,320
Well, our copiers.

785
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:55,520
Copiers, there you go.

786
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,840
Through the RJ11 into this to then be able to go over the...

787
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,040
The RJ45.

788
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,080
RJ45.

789
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,080
RJ11 to RJ45.

790
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:04,560
Yes.

791
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,920
Because I saw an RJ11 plug in one of our walls the other day.

792
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,600
I was like, oh, I didn't know there was a network...

793
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,040
That's not a network drop.

794
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,000
That's too small.

795
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,480
Where do we still have a network drop?

796
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:15,760
We have a network drop.

797
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:19,440
That's too small. Where do we still have a phone line plugged in?

798
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,040
In the main office where the fax machine used to be.

799
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:25,680
On that other wall.

800
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:28,560
I was looking for...

801
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,640
Because we're moving that other wall.

802
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,080
Anyway, this is insider talk.

803
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,600
Anyway, sorry about that.

804
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,200
These are things you don't want to know about, I'm sure.

805
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,920
But we are changing some things.

806
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:46,640
And so I saw an RJ11 on the wall when I was looking for an RJ45

807
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,720
and then realized that's too small.

808
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:50,720
Anyway.

809
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:52,560
Two pair, not four pair.

810
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:54,080
Mercy.

811
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:55,760
And they've got...

812
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:56,960
Sorry.

813
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:03,360
So talk, really neat, able to connect through your setup on your...

814
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:08,240
Again, single pane of glass to be able to see all of your phone setups,

815
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,720
to be able to configure that however you need to,

816
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,280
to be able to take in all of the lines that you need to,

817
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,560
to then be able to split those across.

818
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:18,960
Correct.

819
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:20,800
All of the different...

820
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,320
To keep the nerd references going, you realize what they've done.

821
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:27,360
I mean, other than...

822
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,160
They have created the one ring to roll them all.

823
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,120
Yeah, we're cranking up the nerd knob, folks.

824
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:34,640
Oh, man. Sorry about that.

825
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,360
No, I'm not. We know who our people are.

826
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:44,560
If you've made it this far, then us referencing Lord of the Rings is not your biggest problem.

827
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:45,040
Correct.

828
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,800
Okay, so now that we've talked about that,

829
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,120
the other things inside of this new integration tab that we actually

830
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:58,080
were talking about with Connect, this Internet of Things.

831
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,640
Yes. So they offer their own 21.5-inch display

832
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:07,280
that can just simply plug into the network and be controlled.

833
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:10,000
And that's cool. Don't get me wrong.

834
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:14,000
But what I'm interested in is the DisplayCast Pro.

835
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:20,960
Why are you having a hard time with that?

836
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,920
I guess it really kind of depends on how you want to deliver your content.

837
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:26,320
Because...

838
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,280
75-inch TV, that's how I want to deliver my content.

839
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:29,920
But you can do that with...

840
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:32,160
I can't speak.

841
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,800
You can do that with a DisplayCast.

842
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,520
Because it will make any TV digital sign-in.

843
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,640
Sorry, I went Pro because it was the next one that I saw.

844
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,440
But yes, they have a DisplayCast that's not Pro.

845
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,160
Why wouldn't you want a Pro?

846
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:53,040
The Pro is kind of its own fully integrated solution.

847
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:53,680
Yes.

848
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:55,280
You can put all your content in it.

849
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,160
You can have all the playlists and all the things.

850
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:02,960
And so in theory, that TV could be truly independent.

851
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:09,440
Whereas with the DisplayCast, it can have playlists,

852
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,080
but its content has to come from someplace else.

853
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:12,720
Yeah.

854
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:16,800
And the DisplayCast Pro can get its content from other places.

855
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:17,520
It can, yes.

856
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,120
It's just always good to have a safety.

857
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,400
I have found, as an AV professional,

858
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:28,000
that having content downloaded on the machine is always safer.

859
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:28,800
Oh, by far.

860
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,120
But I get what you're saying.

861
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:31,680
Yes.

862
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:36,000
Yeah, because we actually ran into that at the most recent staff retreat.

863
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,640
Did you?

864
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:37,120
Yes.

865
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:38,400
We got the video we needed.

866
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:39,760
We got it on the Mac Mini.

867
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:40,880
It was ready to roll.

868
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,680
This next day, storms come through.

869
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:46,880
The bridge goes down.

870
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,680
And we were so thankful we had the content local on the machine.

871
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,800
We had the content local on the Mini, because otherwise we'd have been hosed.

872
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:55,120
Yeah.

873
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:55,840
No, that happens.

874
01:07:58,080 --> 01:07:58,560
Mercy.

875
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:01,120
So that's Connect.

876
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:07,680
And again, Connect is fully managed from your Dream Machine of choice.

877
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:08,180
Yeah.

878
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:15,760
Also, they have this, you can have it for EV stations, which I'm like, holy cow.

879
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,880
I purposely chose not to put that on the list.

880
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,080
I'm sorry, man.

881
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,040
I got to say it.

882
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:21,760
They've got it.

883
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,760
It's there.

884
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:24,320
I don't know.

885
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,440
Anyway, don't get me wrong.

886
01:08:27,440 --> 01:08:28,080
I love that.

887
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:33,280
You didn't talk about the power amp, which I am wanting to put in all of our...

888
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:34,480
We're not there yet.

889
01:08:34,480 --> 01:08:35,680
Oh, is that not in Connect?

890
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:39,840
Now you've got me questioning.

891
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:41,600
I didn't think it was.

892
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,240
I think it's under just the custom integration piece.

893
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:46,740
Oh, OK.

894
01:08:46,740 --> 01:08:53,060
I think you're going to be able to connect to it through Connect.

895
01:08:53,060 --> 01:08:55,460
Sorry, that was painful.

896
01:08:55,460 --> 01:08:57,540
Until we get one, I don't know how it shows up.

897
01:08:57,540 --> 01:08:58,040
Exactly.

898
01:08:58,740 --> 01:09:00,100
But we're going to have all the devices.

899
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:01,380
You go buy one of those.

900
01:09:01,380 --> 01:09:03,300
I'll buy the Audio Sigma.

901
01:09:03,300 --> 01:09:04,020
Don't worry.

902
01:09:04,020 --> 01:09:06,020
And we'll come back and discuss it in a future show.

903
01:09:06,900 --> 01:09:12,020
He did just saddle me with the high dollar option here.

904
01:09:12,020 --> 01:09:14,260
I know exactly what I did.

905
01:09:14,260 --> 01:09:16,420
Well, technically, you wouldn't be spending your money.

906
01:09:16,420 --> 01:09:18,340
You would be spending the church's money.

907
01:09:18,340 --> 01:09:20,580
I think the church would make me spend my money on this.

908
01:09:21,220 --> 01:09:21,860
I'm just saying.

909
01:09:21,860 --> 01:09:23,860
We're not quite there yet.

910
01:09:24,820 --> 01:09:27,140
But this thing is fancy.

911
01:09:27,140 --> 01:09:28,820
You have to buy one as a proof of concept.

912
01:09:28,820 --> 01:09:29,300
I do.

913
01:09:29,300 --> 01:09:32,900
It's part of our R&D budget, which we don't actually have.

914
01:09:32,900 --> 01:09:33,400
There you go.

915
01:09:35,300 --> 01:09:37,300
But the power amp is legit.

916
01:09:37,300 --> 01:09:41,140
I showed it to a friend of ours, and he wept a little bit.

917
01:09:43,620 --> 01:09:45,620
That's just hard to deal with, man.

918
01:09:45,620 --> 01:09:48,740
When you see it and you're like, oh, that's what I wanted.

919
01:09:49,380 --> 01:09:50,340
That's what I want.

920
01:09:50,340 --> 01:09:54,900
I want to be able to say that the speakers in this room are playing that music,

921
01:09:54,900 --> 01:09:57,620
and the speakers in this room are playing that music.

922
01:09:57,620 --> 01:10:00,740
And it's got enough power to drive all this.

923
01:10:03,460 --> 01:10:04,180
Dang it.

924
01:10:04,180 --> 01:10:06,100
For our listeners at home, thanks Sonos.

925
01:10:06,820 --> 01:10:07,700
Thanks Sonos.

926
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:08,740
That's a good way to put it.

927
01:10:08,740 --> 01:10:09,300
Yes.

928
01:10:09,300 --> 01:10:10,340
But you know, cooler.

929
01:10:11,780 --> 01:10:12,100
All right.

930
01:10:12,100 --> 01:10:16,180
So now we get into some of their accessories and miscellaneous.

931
01:10:17,060 --> 01:10:17,460
Power.

932
01:10:18,740 --> 01:10:20,340
Power amp is under power.

933
01:10:21,460 --> 01:10:22,660
It doesn't necessarily have to be there.

934
01:10:22,660 --> 01:10:23,620
We can always move it.

935
01:10:24,740 --> 01:10:29,140
So in particular, they have the Rackmount PDU.

936
01:10:29,860 --> 01:10:31,460
I am a huge fan.

937
01:10:31,460 --> 01:10:32,580
I have this at home.

938
01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:34,020
Absolutely.

939
01:10:34,020 --> 01:10:34,740
Do you?

940
01:10:34,740 --> 01:10:35,460
I do.

941
01:10:35,460 --> 01:10:36,580
I didn't know you had that.

942
01:10:36,580 --> 01:10:37,080
I do.

943
01:10:37,860 --> 01:10:40,340
Like the PDU Pro or just?

944
01:10:40,340 --> 01:10:43,380
Yes, because I don't have the large option.

945
01:10:43,380 --> 01:10:44,020
OK.

946
01:10:44,020 --> 01:10:47,060
Which is their most recent one, which is designed

947
01:10:47,060 --> 01:10:51,620
to go vertically in a like a large 42U style.

948
01:10:51,620 --> 01:10:53,060
The high density one?

949
01:10:53,060 --> 01:10:54,260
Yes.

950
01:10:54,900 --> 01:10:55,860
Look at that.

951
01:10:55,860 --> 01:10:56,820
That's huge.

952
01:10:56,820 --> 01:10:57,380
It is.

953
01:10:58,660 --> 01:11:00,020
Oh my gosh.

954
01:11:01,620 --> 01:11:02,100
Yes.

955
01:11:02,100 --> 01:11:04,180
So yeah, I have the...

956
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:06,420
Where'd you go, friend?

957
01:11:07,060 --> 01:11:07,860
I want that.

958
01:11:07,860 --> 01:11:08,180
Yeah.

959
01:11:08,180 --> 01:11:10,500
I have the PDU Pro.

960
01:11:11,060 --> 01:11:12,260
I want the high density.

961
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:17,380
And I named mine indoor shield generator.

962
01:11:17,380 --> 01:11:18,100
Look at you.

963
01:11:18,100 --> 01:11:18,980
Of course I did.

964
01:11:18,980 --> 01:11:19,620
Star Wars.

965
01:11:19,620 --> 01:11:20,980
Of course you did.

966
01:11:20,980 --> 01:11:22,660
So absolutely love it.

967
01:11:22,660 --> 01:11:27,700
And what is an amazing feature of it is when it detects a problem with your internet connection,

968
01:11:27,700 --> 01:11:31,780
it has the ability to power cycle the power plug that you said the modem is on

969
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:34,740
in an attempt to restore your connection.

970
01:11:34,740 --> 01:11:35,060
Nice.

971
01:11:35,060 --> 01:11:36,900
And it has come in handy a few times.

972
01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:37,780
It just does that.

973
01:11:37,780 --> 01:11:39,220
It just does it automagically.

974
01:11:40,020 --> 01:11:40,820
Automagically.

975
01:11:40,820 --> 01:11:41,460
Yes, I said it.

976
01:11:41,460 --> 01:11:41,940
You did not.

977
01:11:41,940 --> 01:11:42,580
I said it.

978
01:11:43,300 --> 01:11:43,700
All right.

979
01:11:43,700 --> 01:11:46,420
I'm looking at this NEMA L530 plug.

980
01:11:48,260 --> 01:11:50,980
Like why are you trying to kill me?

981
01:11:54,260 --> 01:11:54,900
Come on, guys.

982
01:11:55,540 --> 01:11:56,820
You're looking at the high density?

983
01:11:56,820 --> 01:11:57,380
Yeah.

984
01:11:57,380 --> 01:11:57,880
Yeah.

985
01:11:59,380 --> 01:12:00,100
It's...

986
01:12:00,100 --> 01:12:00,900
Oh wow.

987
01:12:00,900 --> 01:12:01,460
Okay.

988
01:12:01,460 --> 01:12:02,820
Well, that's something to dream about.

989
01:12:02,820 --> 01:12:04,260
It has USB-C ports.

990
01:12:04,260 --> 01:12:04,760
It does.

991
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:11,320
But the Power Distribution Pro is the one that you have and it is also fantastic.

992
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:12,120
Look at that.

993
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:12,760
It is.

994
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:18,680
So 100Mb RJ45 to Gigabit RJ45.

995
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:19,640
Yes.

996
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:25,240
The 100Mb is basically the link into the network because you don't necessarily need

997
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:28,360
a full Gigabit link to manage this thing.

998
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,520
And it's got its USB-C ports too.

999
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:30,840
Correct.

1000
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:32,040
It has USB-C.

1001
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,480
Is this just hanging out next to your bed?

1002
01:12:33,480 --> 01:12:34,920
No, it's in the rack.

1003
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,920
Everything's in the rack.

1004
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:38,280
Everything's in your rack.

1005
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:39,320
In the closet.

1006
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:42,520
Also known as the Cluedio.

1007
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:43,720
The Cluedio.

1008
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:44,120
Yes.

1009
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:50,680
So highly recommend it if you are looking for a really nice power distribution.

1010
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:55,080
It does take up to you just because of the way that they kind of laid out some of the ports.

1011
01:12:56,440 --> 01:12:58,360
But it is a really nice product.

1012
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:04,680
One you of it is that 16 remotely resettable power outlets that are just stacked on each other.

1013
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:06,200
That's a you by itself.

1014
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:07,480
With the four USB-C.

1015
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:14,280
And then the second you, you get the nice little touch screen along with four additional ports

1016
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,760
that were spaced out for large bricks.

1017
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:22,680
Spaced out reasonably because they know what power looks like now.

1018
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:22,920
Yes.

1019
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:26,920
Gone are the days of the power cords.

1020
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:28,360
Correct.

1021
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,600
Being able to be set next to each other.

1022
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:31,000
Correct.

1023
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:35,800
And then the other thing that they offer in this power line, this really plays into

1024
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,760
like the dream machine that you referenced that could do multiple power supply.

1025
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:43,480
Some of their switches fall into that line.

1026
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:46,520
They have their power backup.

1027
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:50,040
It's 950 watt redundant power supply.

1028
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:55,320
There is a cable that plugs into the back of this unit and then plugs into your equipment.

1029
01:13:55,320 --> 01:14:02,120
You can plug multiple devices into it to give them the redundant power supply without it having to

1030
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:09,480
be in the actual product, which helps them with keeping the amount of equipment that they're

1031
01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:12,600
putting in a given device as small as possible.

1032
01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:14,120
I like it.

1033
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,720
That's thinking about failover and all of that.

1034
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:18,280
Yes.

1035
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:19,000
I don't have to.

1036
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:20,440
Yes.

1037
01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:24,760
And so then we jump into what essentially is miscellaneous.

1038
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,960
You can get indoor outdoor rated cable.

1039
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:33,400
It's going to be shielded, which is nice, especially for outdoor applications.

1040
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,200
They have pre-terminated to different length patch cables.

1041
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:45,800
They do have ethernet surge, which we are to my knowledge still using in the student building.

1042
01:14:47,480 --> 01:14:49,080
That kind of goes in line.

1043
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,120
And then this little repeater thing is quite interesting.

1044
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:56,520
It gives you the ability to extend up to a kilometer or half a mile,

1045
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:03,400
but you have to place these at no more than 100 meters or 328 feet apart.

1046
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:12,360
So you can do essentially up to 10 of them and extend your network reach.

1047
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,880
Now, I would like to say, hey, if you want to do that, just run some fiber.

1048
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:18,920
Yeah, guys.

1049
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:24,920
Guys, but if you're in a pinch and all you have is copper laying around, knock yourself out.

1050
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:30,280
I mean, you've got copper laying around, but you can go buy 10 of these long range ethernet

1051
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:34,040
repeaters instead of buying fiber.

1052
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,680
I think this was very much a, you can't run copper that far.

1053
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:39,240
Oh, really?

1054
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:39,720
Watch me.

1055
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,160
Hold my beer.

1056
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:43,880
Hold my beer.

1057
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:44,200
Yes.

1058
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:44,440
Yes.

1059
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:45,240
So.

1060
01:15:46,440 --> 01:15:47,320
Indeed.

1061
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:47,960
Indeed.

1062
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:49,000
Yes.

1063
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:51,000
Wow.

1064
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,520
So that's kind of a rough overview, if you will.

1065
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,000
Make sure I didn't forget anything.

1066
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,120
We definitely could have, but at the same time.

1067
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:01,000
That is it.

1068
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:01,800
That is it, folks.

1069
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:02,840
That was a lot.

1070
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:03,720
Deep, deep, deep, deep.

1071
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:04,520
That's all, folks.

1072
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,720
Coming back next time in two weeks.

1073
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:10,360
Two weeks.

1074
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:10,760
Yes.

1075
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:12,760
We are going to have our first special guest.

1076
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:13,480
Special guest.

1077
01:16:13,480 --> 01:16:14,440
Not going to give it away.

1078
01:16:14,440 --> 01:16:18,200
Not going to give it away, but we've got some stuff to learn.

1079
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:19,800
So we're bringing in an expert.

1080
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,480
This is the official tease.

1081
01:16:21,480 --> 01:16:24,520
The tease is I don't know anything about this and I want to.

1082
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,880
I know just enough to be dangerous.

1083
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:28,440
Yeah, OK.

1084
01:16:28,440 --> 01:16:29,080
That's where I'm at.

1085
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,600
I know enough to know that I don't know anything.

1086
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,720
So special guest, you know who you are.

1087
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:36,360
Yeah.

1088
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:37,000
Get ready.

1089
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:37,960
Be prepared.

1090
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:38,600
Be prepared.

1091
01:16:39,480 --> 01:16:40,920
We'll try to figure out a special.

1092
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,560
Because otherwise you're going to let the people down.

1093
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:52,440
New Zealand is over there just freaking out about being let down by this.

1094
01:16:52,440 --> 01:16:53,320
Sorry, New Zealand.

1095
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:56,840
No, it'll be great.

1096
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:57,880
Super excited about it.

1097
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:03,640
And we'll have to figure out a special beer to celebrate.

1098
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:04,280
Oh, that's right.

1099
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:05,560
We do need to find a good one.

1100
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:06,440
Celebratory beer.

1101
01:17:06,440 --> 01:17:10,920
Not the Rasputin.

1102
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,080
No, I'm afraid not Rasputin.

1103
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:14,600
The Obsidian's not bad.

1104
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:15,400
It's not bad.

1105
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:16,680
It's just not good.

1106
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:19,160
It's hard, man.

1107
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,600
We're coming off of like really good beer.

1108
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:24,280
That triple mash was amazing.

1109
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:25,240
I'm not going to lie.

1110
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:30,840
I just, you just, it's hard to like, it's hard after that to even.

1111
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:32,680
It's like going to Bernard's for dinner.

1112
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:33,080
Yeah.

1113
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,320
And then the next day you've got to go to McDonald's.

1114
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,880
And it's like these two things just do not line up.

1115
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:38,840
No, they really don't.

1116
01:17:40,440 --> 01:17:41,480
What a disappointment.

1117
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:44,680
I think you'll like the Dunkle.

1118
01:17:45,480 --> 01:17:46,280
No, I'm sure I will.

1119
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:47,960
Just didn't get to it.

1120
01:17:50,440 --> 01:17:50,840
All right.

1121
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:52,120
Well, I think that's it.

1122
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:52,680
Yeah.

1123
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:53,480
We'll see you next time.

1124
01:17:53,480 --> 01:17:54,360
Thanks for hanging out, man.

1125
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:55,160
Enjoyed it, man.

1126
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:56,040
See you, everybody.

1127
01:17:56,040 --> 01:18:06,040
See you.

1128
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:17,400
Okay.

1129
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,680
I've been waiting for this moment for months and it's finally here.

1130
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,960
I'm finally going to get a heritage unit unit on camera.

1131
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:26,520
Yeah.

1132
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:29,320
All right.

1133
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:30,120
Look at that.

1134
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,200
A 1953 E8.

1135
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,000
Oh yeah.

1136
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,200
Listen to that bell.

1137
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:38,200
Yeah.

1138
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:39,320
Listen to that bell.

1139
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:40,600
Take a look at that.

1140
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:43,320
Oh my God.

1141
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,320
Oh my God.

1142
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:50,600
Oh, she's beautiful.

1143
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,840
She is beautiful.

1144
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:53,400
Yeah.

1145
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:54,120
All right.

1146
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,120
Oh my.

1147
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,120
Oh, no.

1148
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,120
It's a PL2 too.

1149
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:04,120
Oh, the SNC 52.

1150
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,120
Oh my God.

1151
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,120
Oh, we're going to watch this.

1152
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,120
Oh, this is special.

1153
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,120
This is special.

1154
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:16,120
Oh, that horn gives me the chills.

1155
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,120
And the chills have absolutely no effect.

1156
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:24,840
And the chills have absolutely nothing to do with how cold it is here.

1157
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,440
But that doesn't stop a foamer.

1158
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,640
Especially when it comes to heritage equipment.

1159
01:19:32,440 --> 01:19:34,120
Oh, this is fantastic.

1160
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,720
Oh, oh my goodness.

1161
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:38,440
Look at that.

1162
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:39,880
Blue and gray.

1163
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:45,960
Oh, coupled to the Iowa Pacific number 518.

1164
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,680
Woohoo!

1165
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:49,720
Ah ha!

1166
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:50,440
Wow!

1167
01:19:50,440 --> 01:19:51,960
Listen to that horn.

1168
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,320
Oh, that's fantastic.

1169
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,080
Oh my gosh.

1170
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:55,720
Look at that.

1171
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:57,160
All right.

1172
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,360
I wonder who TC Durant is.

1173
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:04,040
Oh, well.

1174
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:20,280
Wow, this is just awesome.
