 So we built a 48 terabyte Ryzen 3 ubiquity unify video server So this video on it was done in May of 2018 here and we deployed the system Now something important to me is that I follow up and talk about these builds and talk about what happened after we deployed them Because there's always whenever we build something The internet's full of haters and I don't mind that's I've accepted. I've been on the internet for a long time I realize there's always people who would disagree with you and argue to the nth degree And like, you know 10 out of 403 people click the dislike button That's fine and I bring this up because there's always that person it sent me a message and says you're gonna fail You should have built it with Their opinion on what hardware I should use and things like that But so let's talk about here in August of 2018 the follow-up on this system being deployed now leave a link to the original video So you can watch the build it's built with an MSI x3 70 gaming board a AMD Ryzen 3 processor and EVGA power supply and like said all the spectra in here and I'll leave a link to this video So how does it work? Well pretty good. There's 35 cameras connected to it and Two currently disconnected and this is not because of us. This is because the client was playing with things This camera's been recording perfectly fine until they decided to disconnect it for some reason I don't know That's a the clients owns it. They can do what they want with it This is not actually a managed system per se by us the client wanted to own everything So we don't ask questions when they say we're gonna move a camera ourselves and not with you I said, okay, so they took it apart. They haven't gotten around to putting it back but the other cameras are all recording perfectly fine and everything works great some of them are the Unified wireless ones and we really like these these work awesome It's kind of cool too because you can see the link state that they have for how they're connected The Wi-Fi strength to tell you if there's any problems with them and we haven't had any problems at all with these cameras They connect right away the wireless works great on them And no problems and this is just a couple of me wanted wireless because they chose to put them in afterwards and didn't want to run The wires so that's part of the reason they chose these they wanted them and a couple different odd spots But didn't want to have to rerun the cable and for those you may follow channel This is this big family fun center where all this is located Now let's talk about the system itself and a performance. Here's a bunch of the recordings and we're gonna jump and Grab one of the laser tag cameras. Here's the vesting room. All right, and What I want you to be able to see here is I'm scrolling through and Even though I'm remote and limited by the connections be WC It works faster when you're local and actually there you can see it's working perfectly fine If I want to pull up a video and see what happened takes a second But most of my delay is not the system It's streaming that high-res video back to me Remotely when you're inside it works perfectly fine And you can tell just by how fast it generates the thumbnails and the only pausing really is the playback But not because of the server but because of bandwidth limitations The server works fast it indexes the files fast. We go here like to the timeline It immediately can start indexing and pulling up the different ones Like you got to pick the camera to be able to do this But you kind of get the idea that this system as Intended works really really well We have not had any issues with it. It's been great But one of those things that I am I am really encouraged people with is build these on Debbie and Linux servers That's what this is if you don't build your unified system on a Debbie and Linux Every time someone has talked me into building them one and running it in Windows. I've had problems They that has been a consistent theme I know the software being built with Java supposed to be cross compatible to run on different operating systems But there just seems to be more people complaining and more bugs when I run it on Windows once we put these systems on Debbie And they just seem to flow they work great And part of the reason I chose that I chose Debbie and why I like running on Linux is if you buy the genuine Unify nvrs for some of the smaller deployments which we have They work great and they run Linux and I think that's something important to think about if that's what they ship them with Probably what you should be using to as my suggestion This is really just a quick follow-up on here. It the system other than the client is connecting a couple of the cameras It works wonderfully. We have had no headaches no problems I know it's only been deployed for about three months that it's been hooked up and in use but I Have no complaints about this And we have a lot of clients using these unified systems on the same about scale of you know Between 30 35 cameras on a Linux server They're my most trouble-free clients any client that I've ever been talked into Because of a client request or the IT company that requested it and asked us Hey, can you put this on a Windows box has caused us a bit of a headache? And I've seen people mention about the corrupt database thing Yeah, we've seen that but only on the Windows ones and not on these Linux ones But there's just a quick follow-up video. This client is thrilled. They love it They love the ease of use. They love the fact that they can view it on their phone really easy It works fast when they're in the office They are watching it pretty regular. So they're the management uses this a lot to kind of watch things so they have things like the some of the Back room areas where they can watch or even the different hallways they can watch like this here So they can see what's going on inside the hallway. I mean, I love the interface for unify It makes it just really easy and quick and simple to be able to do stuff Easy and intuitive to use so it's not like some of these other stupid interfaces that require dumb plug-ins and everything So I still overall feeling on unify is very positive. The system works really well And when you're local, it's even faster than this here So that rise in three system aspect out runs a 35 camera system Very well, especially a camera system like this that has a lot of activity because this is a family fun center These cameras are being tripped by motion or also at the motion recorder being tripped by motion very frequently and Are not having any issues And the Wi-Fi cameras like said these work really well as too, so there's not really been any issues with any of that All right, all these was helpful like so this is the follow-up video and I plan to do more Maybe I'll do this is a three month follow-up. Maybe I'll do a one-year follow-up on this I have another one that we've also been running that's similar respect for over a year and it works really well I do have to update it to the latest version That's on my to-do list for this wonderful holiday weekend when they don't have a lot of things going on and the same with this This is almost the latest version of unified. They just came out with another update that has to I'm gonna load this weekend for this one But hopefully it's helpful if you have questions comments leave them below if you hate unified feel free to leave that below too But I can tell you as a person who's actively deployed here's a three-month deployment on a very active camera system We're happy with it. So that's my that's my take on all this.
