 And it says I'm live, you know It seems to go faster on my main channel them and I do this on the business technicalities channel But this is fun. I also am doing something a little bit different because I threw this on LinkedIn as well I was like, you know, I can just click this extra button over here and throw it in two channels I've been trying to build up my LinkedIn a little more I have different audiences and I was just did a video we posted actually two of them Jason Slagle and Matt Lee and Jason is actually well known on Well, Jason and Matt both have a pretty big following on LinkedIn so I'm like, okay, I got to build up my LinkedIn and I want them to build up through YouTube and you know They're smart cybersecurity people And Jason may drive up to try the hot sauce I'm all for that Actually, we have a whole lot of hot sauces. So we're getting close to having that room redone Everything's been kind of a small disaster at the office But it's it's getting towards our goal of redoing the lab area and cleaning up the office So lots of fun there. And I also told my friend Jason. I would give a shout out to this Let me pull this up and this is something I'm gonna throw a link in down here for and share screen Where's it at chrome tab? Employment I figure the audience that I have here might be a fit for this and I'll throw this in the links down here as well Easy enough to find he's looking for a Linux admin at CNWR.com so click on employment opportunities at CW and on CNWR.com looking for a Linux admin. I just want to give a shout out You know the Linux admins. I figured there might be a couple to watch my channel. So Yeah, hopefully, you know finding finding a good one can be a little bit challenging So I'll give my friend Jason a shout out for that for his company. He is not far from me So he's in Toledo. I'm in Detroit. We're about 40 minutes from each other roughly. So nonetheless Thought I get that out of the way Let's see. Oh In John Hardin see I got I know I tell he's coming from LinkedIn over there John runs a company. I gave a mention to before a sass Leo really cool And it's a pretty neat product that we might be talking about more in the future though, John We just did a business technicalities interview We talked about some of the process and things like that around Finding what sass products you're using and I gave him a mention because it's kind of a fit in for my web filtering video I did recently Where there's web filtering and there's understanding what people are doing inside the browser and especially that so there's a Yeah, a lot of lots of talk about there, but check out sass Leo It's pretty cool product as well and John's a friend of mine. So there's my bias towards it Whole bunch, yes Check out Tom on LinkedIn, I know I blended this vlog Thursday my life You know, I'm like why not bring it from both worlds get everybody on here So and I think I have a more international audience right now on YouTube. So that could be built up I probably got a decent international audience on there. So Thoughts on the Twilio hack. Yeah, I haven't really dove into it But I mean it's gonna be something I might dive into the Cisco one sounded more interesting to me But obviously any of these is going to be Really interesting as we can pull up some of the details of the Twilio hack Who had the debrief? Twilio hacked It was just because it was fishing and that's the big challenge with any of these is wonder does a bunch of fishing stuff I When I can pull and this is why we did the Cisco one this morning and that video has just been published today of how Cisco got hacked and so Communications and Twilio's confirm hackers access customer data after successfully tricking employees into handing over their corporate login Condentials the San Francisco company which allows users to build voice and SMS capabilities such as two-factor into application said in a blog post Published Monday that it became aware of someone gain unauthorized access to their systems And this is in a way how Cisco got hacked the specifically MFA fatigue was brought up and like so we broke that down in that video and Yeah, I We talked about some of the lessons learned on there Fido is kind of your friend. That's one of the things you need to do to Kind of protect yourself against that there's probably one of the better ways of doing it and It's we just got to get away from any type of text message to FA Any MFA programs that don't have rate limiting this is something what causes the MFA fatigue Someone just hammered away at it and the user goes well I guess the only way to stop this thing from going ding every few seconds must be to say yes You know, there's probably more training that we need for users It's another avenue that maybe wasn't thought about in other trainings of hey, you know Not just use MFA But if your MFA is going crazy call someone someone has your password if they have your MFA Because by the way usually doesn't prompt you from FA until it's username password Please click yes or no on your multi-factor depending on the different services. You're using I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Cisco uses their own product duo So, you know, it's a pretty simple yes or no system on there Just so I can get it out of the way in the beginning this hot sauce came all the way from the land down under It is quite good. It is called It's got rum and coconut in there too Byron Bay chili coat. This was sent to me by of She'll be on here. She usually gets on here because it's early Australia time I start the live stream and she'll join here. I tagged her in Twitter though. And yeah, I'll Alexa I don't know if it's a lexie or Lexa. I I'm probably just set off someone's stuff. So nonetheless Yes, there's some hot sauce from Australia and it's awesome So Yeah, nonetheless the that's the that's the hot sauce in the thumbnail Could it been a pocket press man, I hope not I if I've actually it's been a while. I don't think it's changed dramatically since I did I did Yeah, I'm positive I just set off a bunch of them so Could crowdsack prevent MFHC against you prevent a hit no Maybe but not it's more of the MFA companies having to rethink how they do it I mean because crowdsack has no idea Until you tell crowdsack see crowdsack the way the intelligence works back and forth They're looking at it known attacks and going. Hey Here's a WordPress site easy example because it has integration into this and someone keeps trying to hit this thing on WordPress That sends an alert someone's trying to do a thing from this IP that Intelligence data then goes back up to crowdsack with the MFA. It would require Someone knowing what IPA came in on someone reporting back to crowdsack and I to my knowledge There's zero MFA companies that have integration with them could be wrong And they would have to know that that MFA came from the wrong spot. Honestly, you it's a more of a user training thing I think that's a bigger place. You need to stop it. I mean There shouldn't be the ability for an MFA system to it should have some rate limiting, you know I mean, there shouldn't be that many times. There's not a user scenario. I can really think of where it should come at you repeatedly You type in your username you type in your password. You're prompted your MFA you hit yes You hit no you move on it shouldn't be 20 yeses or noes coming at you as a choice Also by the way as I said someone has your username and password the there comes a point when Maybe there's a rate limiting in whatever the application is to say how many times can that button be pressed because someone keeps logging in with the username Password, but seems to be stuck at the MFA. We got a weird question here of Well, they we think we're so close to verifying this person. We got the two pieces of information. We need that third piece technically Yeah, so I think it's probably more along those lines When did chili get to L's I? Think when it's in Australia It gets too well, so I'm gonna go with that as the answer That's that's my answer on that particular one right there The other things we're working on internally and we're gonna get to the unified thing in a minute I figured I'll let this ramp up a little bit though. I'm I'm working on I'm gonna probably put some like Script together for when I start each one of these live streams And I really been thinking a lot of listen to Corey Drows podcast If you're not familiar with Corey Drow. He's got some really good writing Just a huge plethora of wonderful books a lot of them around the concepts of content and copyright gives you a lot to think About what to chew on very technologically based because he used to work for the EFF But I really like what I was thinking about what I like about his podcast And he kind of gives you the rundown of what he's doing where he's going to be when you can find him at certain places, you know, because maybe you want to see him in an event. So I think that's kind of a You know Way we do things where I'll run down certain things that are going on each vlog Thursday Kind of give you a more in-depth because I think that's somewhere if you go back 290 episodes that was my original concept with this in the first episodes, which were bad, but This would allow me to kind of give people a catch up on what's going on in a business and among the things going on is You know right now we hired another employee. So that's a new thing So welcome Travis who's actually in here. So we you know have another staff member and we're working on things and I'm It's most things as we grow Organizing and how you look at and perceive very this worked when we had X number of clients This is having trouble with that. So I'm trying to put down that we'll do with some videos on It's kind of a journey that we're going through or what is and doesn't work It thinks Tom was wrong about if how we want to do it, you know and easily call me out Tell me time you ran it for a long time a lot of ticket system Yeah, but there got to be a point where I decided I did need a ticket system So I was like, okay, we hit a scalability point for number tickets and how we process things So there's always, you know, what will change over the years I thought about trying to go back to find or figure out where some of those turning points were to kind of, you know Journey things along and talk about them. I think it's kind of an interesting Concept of where you are as you grow the things you thought were true the things you have to understand differently and organize to keep moving forward That's just the way things go Yes, Tom live in two places for sure Be of sense question if I have NTP server enable on PFS So I need a rule to allow Part 1 2 3 on this firewall destination automatic. So if you have NTP enabled, I'm assuming you're doing it from Internal and if you're doing it internally, no, you don't need to Block that it's going to be attached to the internal IP address Therefore, it's going to be accessible internally if you want to make it accessible externally Probably I can't think of any good reason to do that But that would require a rule but by default on the land side, you don't require a rule for that. Oh Yes, Brett's not at the office today. He's hanging out in Riverview his home city Which is which is so only two miles from the office roughly is where he lives. So, you know, we all live relatively close to the office, so Yeah Any feedback and then the new Unify software release with open VPNs and WAN load balancing a closer step No, I want to look at it because I want to see how they're doing The the low the not the load balancing but the open VPN because to my knowledge and someone please call me out if I'm wrong Because I have not really with this particular version doesn't open VPN still require you to tie it to their Unify UID system. So that was one of my problems I had Some of us live close Some of us don't live quite so close But nonetheless if I'm not mistaken Unify still requires the tie-in for open VPN to the UID system Correct someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I do want to look into it We we keep the unified dream machine hanging out at the office We jokingly call it the unified disappointment machine and the reason we call that It's just one of those things. Oh, okay, they do have it cool. So Cody's play with this I'm always disappointed in where they go with it like open VPN is not new It's in been around forever in many many firewalls So they have an open VPN but it's built into unifying network. So is it still not just a standard file you download Cody? Maybe I'll watch Cody's probably got a video on this by the way Check out Cody's channel as well Mac telecom networks if you haven't already two weeks ago I brought up the issue. I was having that's to say restarting unified looping Long ranch AP a long range AP long ranch AP we can go with that Found out I messed up knowing as P we plus and had it on POE port. Yep, that'll do it Yeah The the back there is from where my office is to where Travis is there is definitely a nice back road ride It's if you follow like the here on River Drive. It's actually a nice curvy road Ah Yes, see all right, but uh, yeah, I don't know Unify always falls short on how they handle things when it comes to VPN. It's I don't understand It's it's just kind of a weird thing that Unify does and I don't I don't get it So I do get this though. I think this is clever that what Unify is doing here So Introduce Travis. Yes, try Travis Is one of the new staff members here over at Lawrence systems I don't know Maybe I'll do some behind the scenes if people are interested about who works at Lawrence systems So I I don't really know how much interest people have at it But maybe I don't know maybe we'll bring them on for some of the live streams or something. I Think I've had miles on one time Maybe Me and Steve are gonna do a video together on a few things where we see we're gonna do a video on How the silliness works for dealing with layer three in Unify switches? That's a whole different topic But let's talk about this right here and this is the new Unify The protect AI theta as it's called what a crazy name it has But I don't know Like what they're going with this I'm it's gonna be availability and what the concept is really simple You got a 21 millimeter Camera here now obviously is all gonna tie into Unify protect Yeah, well yeah Travis says that may take a little convincing to get him in here and Brett me and Brett do videos together, but yes Strange name, but like it. Yes Um But I in concept here's here's what I've wondered for a while and I'm cool to see unified doing what I think they're doing Without having this product in hand. We don't know but you know, I look at this right here. Let's talk about Like my phone so here's a Phone that takes it's this thin and this is an entire phone You think about how small this of a device this is and how amazing the photos are that you take with it Like the phones are doing killer jobs. I'm recording full Wonderful 4k video at high res and it's all stored in a very compact device I'm like, why don't we take some of the guts out of it specifically the camera and you can watch plenty of jerry rig Everything videos and you can see how he tears apart the cameras. It's not that big of a piece And I've always ordered When is that technology which is obviously extremely mass produced even in the lower end smartphones? With a good camera. Why isn't more of that camera equipment getting into our nbrs? That's just the question I have like why isn't it and that's what I really feel that unify is doing here Is really shrinking it and sticking in there and this to me I love it this Concept in platform is going to make me happy like this is nice tiny Cameras they have the little device that captures all that is going to be like an intermediary So you have the camera there's still some electronics that need to be done So that can go in this device here at some great distance to it. They have a audio integration to it By the way two-way audio integration, which I thought was kind of cool But so you have this long tether so to speak. I think this is a great product Now what's going to come down to of course Is Availability because that's one of the challenges everyone has been complaining about for in rightfully. So is Cool new product that also is part of the Unobtainable products that are hard to get my hands on it any Quantity more than limit to per customer Um, so how fully they have a plan to ramp this up and things like that That's obviously going to be an issue and that comes back to me talking about mass produced cell phone cameras Obviously cell phones are still shipping it scale They've kind of solved some of that. So hopefully there's a They understand the methodology by which they can get that going. So I think this is a really cool product from unify The other part and why I brought up Synology surveillance station air is going to be because Uh, the thing that's going to come out of this is copycats because that's always what happens The unify is going to come out with it Companies out there are going to see it's popular and they're going to go let's build one of those So what i'm really going to be looking forward to is all the companies that copy Exactly what unify does and make a decent camera. It's the hike visions. It's the amcrests all those companies are going to go Hey, let's You know Bring this down a bit and make it very available very affordable and give us a really awesome camera system related to it so, um It's going to be a uh a game changer as those small cameras come out It's going to be nicer for installs. It's aesthetically nicer. So it's an easier sell of the businesses. So all this is going to be really cool. Um Why don't just connect to paway at the end of the new camera? I the the format's a little strange Being that it's on that little tether thing that they have. So that's uh, where'd it go? So they kind of show it there I mean Like the fan I they go all in on these fancy graphics and there's a little tether thing Then here's the speaker thing that plugs into it But I thought this part was silly. I'm like, wait a minute. We're talking about how compact and easy it is But then we stuck it back in one of these Like here, let's just put it back in a video tube again It's still small. Don't get me wrong. That's still smaller than your average camera. Um, so Interesting enough, but yeah It's still cool what they're coming out with on that. So Uh, what do you think about the black camera AI bullet? Um, I haven't spent a lot of time with their AI stuff I'm gonna kind of re-circle back and visit it as I'm finishing up my video on the Synology surveillance station. So that video is really I gotta finish it because I think I've done as much as I'm going to do on it And I've even done the let me pull all this up Let's see where is it? Counting report So, all right. Now I can share this like I've even done long term now. Here's uh, August in July counting cars how many cars drive by I've You know dove into how this system works. I wanted to make sure I really understood it How everything works about it. How good it is at detections. I wanted to do it like over time I told Synology students like hey time when you do that review and I'm like one I've got a lot of data And I really like where Synology gives me all these advanced tools now at the same time. Yes, I'm still using and I still have at our office in One of the uh, unify nvr So I'm going to do an updated review because it's changed a lot and has a lot of cool new features So I want to go over that now kind of do a comparison video once I've got each video separately done I'll do a comparison video of the two kind of directly comparing them I love all the ease of access that I get with unify But what I dislike about unify still is going to be It always feels like they go this far But they give you so little to customize on and one of the easy examples is going to be we have clients that have retention Requirements that are you know mandated retention requirements based on the industries are in well I can set all my rotations and time lapses and everything really really well in the Uh, Synology system I can go granular with it. I've got cool time lapses of you know Like sending a snapshot on a weekly basis. I can even have something do time lapses that go out a year if I want I can back up all that data. I can cue on that data with the deep video analytics based on certain information That's where it just goes so much beyond what unify can do top that off with a wide variety of camera support So unify is catching up with offering a lot more cameras But that comes back to why it's a hard product to sell the lack availability when we're trying to install 30 cameras Can we get 30 unify cameras? That's that's that's a factored in challenge And then if they have those retention problems or want to back up the video Yeah, and I know one day stacking is coming to the unify nvr because there's You know limits to the number of cameras you can support on a single nvr It's just a it's just a problem you're going to run into for certain installs So it's not that I think that it's a bad system. You just have to align and this goes with all things You have to align the client needs make sure Here's what they need now. Here's what they might grow into and make sure they're clear Does the system fit those and then come in there And say all right, you know This will fit their need fit their growth needs. Maybe it's a camera growth or a feature need they have And cool. I can sell them that product, but you know, you really have to scope out the client needs We don't try to shove a product to what we think the client wants you have to really ask about their business use case understand it and then Select products that will service them properly. If not, you're going to have a bad relationship with the client when it's all done so On a thursday so I can crash tom's vlog absolutely Access and hick vision have pinhole IP cameras. Do they? Hick vision In whole camera, but are they good? You know what? I guess I'll have to order one but You know, we'll pull this up for people I don't know. I have not looked at these at all before someone said this but They get a one star rating. I don't know how good they are. Who else makes a pinhole camera? Oh, this one's h265 How good are they though? Are they're good ones? That's what I want to know. Maybe I'll buy one of these and poke at it But Yeah, I don't know I should I probably should have qualified. I know some of these exist I'm hoping um Good ones exist because I I think unify one thing. I'll give you to find me the quality of the camera is good you know, we've been using the unify platform for a long time at my office and uh Quality-wise reliability. This is one of those things that I Want to make clear it has been a solid system. We have had a Really no downtime from it. Uh, it just works So that's that's a big factor when you're using these is it's longevity NVRs have a long life cycle. So they're not something that's the set and forget it There's something that's gonna, you know run for quite a while something on my screen So I figure out what it was and I'm like, oh, it's literally something on my screen I'll admit this too. There's one thing I'm waiting for the cameras to pull up at the office Come on. There we go Add them in there. I like that someone wrote purge on this It's uh, I'm I'm vpn back to my office to Get this. So I probably have to grab a screenshot to give you a better quality idea. Let's see Try to figure an easy way to share that. Well, I'm not too worried about it You kind of get the idea It looks a little better when I do a screenshot because the vpn is limiting it a little bit But the quality-wise on these is not bad. Like I'm not unhappy with the cameras that we have in the unify nbr system right now Which is a East facing out. So you got g3 g3 g4 pro The magic video tube is people ask we like that device. I've reviewed that that thing works great So that works well. Um, and this is still working. I got to do a um video on this tamper detected Clear tamper says yeah, I tampered with it. That was me playing with. Why don't I tamper with it last? That's about right So we'll clear the tamper status for now. Tom tampered with it Time to find the office from video. Yes Yeah, what can we what kind of o-sense can can jason pick up on um based on This here and by the way, these are some the uh, do they still make i'm not positive sell these the g3 bullets have been around a minute Um, that's longevity. They've been around for a while g4 pro Uh g4 bullet here, but these two these two are original. These are really old Um, but they work they work great. They've been around I've come many years ago. Those came out I can't remember now Uh, do you think ui is abandoned? I still never found the water leak add-on. That's the thing. I don't know I it's been so long. I just don't know um Bullet no sound. I think those I think those have sound don't they yeah Yeah, they have sound the ai stuff and the detections are pretty cool I like the way they do this but back to lack of customization and um It's it it's not a terrible job. It does but it's not Not blow you away amazing either You know what I mean? It's it's not um But for most users, I think it's good. Hey look the police are here or the police for uh See when this happened this was at today The cops were driving through the parking lot That's an odd spot. That's the back corner of the Lowe's parking lot I said Lowe's parking lot. So it's not hard to find I already know what they're doing. No people cut through that parking lot all the time So they're they're getting people who cut through So I can Yeah, there's lots to look through here, but don't worry. You can tell it's working quite well even over a vpn back to my house here It does work pretty well. So um, I got to talk to jay because I don't have my door I don't think we have the door but hooked up anymore, but I believe jay from learning lakes tv is using his I haven't really we've done any commercial installs of the unified doorbell So I do need to do some following up on those. That's going to be interesting We used to have a tom cam but he got rid of it. Yeah, true Well, we still have the other one is called um Because it my car used to be parked out back That's why this one's called tesla nanny cam So it's uh zoom in on that So yeah, that's it used because that's where I parked my car to charge it so the the tesla nanny cam and it's now a different camera. So let's go back over to here and the tesla's back in the garage so No more uh, no more nanny cam The truck is packed parked back over here where it always is We can go to the martini bar. I'm okay with this There's actually I would jason we need to go to um There's a couple places downtown. There's a good cigar. I don't know if you're a cigar person I'm not really but the cigar bar has a really good uh drink selection So hey, if you're not busy just message me. I'll meet you somewhere on that Not a far drive. We have um Some craft brewing places. We got a few cigar bars. We got a few Good drink bars some whiskey bars So yes, there's definitely a few good places we can meet up right around right around here very close. So Log in to the tesla and get the footage. You know, that's a new feature They have is you can you can watch the footage This is actually something i'm gonna turn on right now because this is fun I can show people where do you do this at? I've only done it once I haven't really played with it much It's under controls There's a camera option now Where'd it go? They have the new um valet and add driver sentry mode Oh, and they got to turn that on View live camera there we go. So now i'm gonna pull this up here This is funny so this We'll pull this up real quick. So first we'll do it this way remove this so you can see My car can look and see the cameras around it. So we'll uh that's looking into my living room and then uh Probably gonna see my motorcycle on this side. Oh, you can see the truck or you can do the Look behind So the cameras it's kind of a new feature they added so I can I can watch the cameras on my car Uh outside and I can then watch my cameras To see the car from the inside. So yes, I have All that covered top to bottom Everything has cameras the car's a giant telemetry device The uh my g3 pro has no sound also inferable not auto switch I think there was someone that had some bugs like that. So yeah Uh, you should check out the new unified doorbell has a fingerprint scanner and a second package cam and floor path light That's pretty cool. I thought about checking them out In I can go look real quick. Um, you know if I doorbell is What's the availability like on those I'm just gonna look right now. See if they're out of stock again Oh in stock. That's a g4 doorbell But is this the newest one so cameras doorbell doorbell Yeah doorbell pro and Here are some comparables. This is this is the challenge and why it's been kind of slow I mean, it's cool to review them, but It's just it's sold out all the time. That's um Until they really get in there with the stock. It's going to be a problem. So Now a mud hens game Yes, I can watch my cameras while watching my cameras with my other cameras Is it possible to the tesla style gmv air like going with that would be fun if it worked you could test No, there's no way to do that. Um, but that would be interesting for sure Um, but one thing you can do. This is another advantage that synology has you can tie This your phone as a camera device really any android I don't know if this works on iphone But any android phone can do this as well And I think that's a really neat feature because then you can even take an older phone And turn it into a camera that you can just set up anywhere and now you have this extra camera for things So We've turned tom's vlog into irc. I'm completely fine with that I was completely fine. You know what I thought was really clever. Um, there was a Complaint at one of the schools because the kids You know, they're banned from a lot of applications. Uh while they're in high school But they figured out they could have private chats by using shared docs and google And set up the chat inside of google chat because a lot of schools use g-suite. I'm like, okay, that's clever You you can turn anything back into irc So Yeah fun stuff, but I don't know. I may look at some of these pinhole cameras. Um so Pinhole See the hidden ones I want to look for ones that have Uh The proper support so Flipping through I don't know if someone has a link tag me on twitter on it If you know one that works well, maybe I'll add that to my sonology review I got extra licenses on my sonology if I wanted to play with a couple cameras I'll get the review done first. Uh, but in addition to I wouldn't mind playing with some of those other cameras so What do you mean the good ol ours? I takes you back and the good ol our irc days You don't have your irc client open somewhere in one of those, uh, you know floating windows backgrounded in Um, I actually I did turn off my irc bouncer I think in 2020 the biggest reason I did though was it was too much of a distraction to me I was too. I was talking to too many people on too many things on randomness and yes, so definitely, um yeah irc always open What am I looking for in a pinhole camera? Uh, one that's good good resolution and you know It's not about hiding it in terms of being obscure that you're doing it But kind of like how they I mentioned earlier where ubiquity is offering something that allows a better More aesthetically pleasing mount, you know, so it's if you're looking at retail locations and things like that but quality matters and the thing is I seen the the, uh Um, the reviews so far none of these look like they have any good reviews that It sounds like they're just cheaply made And that may be part of the problem so Like I'm only pull up the amazon search. So we'll all look together Be there we go I mean, there's a bunch of them out here Like this one is hidden. I Ip these all seem like just not quality pieces of equipment That's kind of the problem I have with them like which ones are quality Home hidden spy camera DIY. It sounds like just a bunch of you know Inexpensive stuff. I'm looking for something that's actually a good camera. Good 4k resolution. Like I said We have it in our phones. If I have a phone that can do this It doesn't seem like a leap to put it into some type of reasonably small package with high quality results Not this so if someone knows of a good one, let me know. I'm just curious on that It'd be a interesting thing to dive into Um, which cameras are using the Synology to support face recognition and objects? That's a good question. Let's talk about that now I have my video where I talk about how to do advanced detection and specifically the cameras. I'm using Are these amcrest ones actually wrong spot? Let's pull them up in here Because this will give you the model number the video I have is linked in there So let's start with the driveway cams. This I we've got a couple of these out there Nope, that's not it either You gotta edit the camera. There we go It's an amcrest I can I zoom this in maybe ip 8 m t 2 6 9 9 e w a i So that model right there. I have that video where I have these all linked and broke down for you And I should talk about how to set up the advanced detections event detections And that's over here and how to configure them. So it does human and vehicles in the driveway Uh, and that's a function of the camera. Whoops. I should probably share this right Now we can hit edit Show it right there ip there we go ip 8 m t 6 2 6 9 9 e w a i so that'll Um Give you an idea and then from there and I got the video where I Step by step walk you through how to do this event detection And setting these up for human and vehicle and then there's a set of camera settings You have to say to trigger so the camera actually does the triggering on there. So Head look trillion was the best allow you to connect to multiple IM services. Oh, I remember that for a while there. Yes so, yeah that's a That's the thing. Um, I've heard a few people say they like that system the a vigil on we're not a vigil on reseller but I've heard People seem to like it We've kind of settled on synology because it's so flexible in terms of all the different things it will do Uh, and it meets so many of the client needs. I don't have a problem as I said too selling, um You know the the unify ones, but the problem is selling the unify ones getting is getting them in stock and having them So that's yeah It's uh makes a difference It's really expensive. Yeah, I'm assuming you're talking about the cameras. Uh, yeah, they're they're a little bit. Um Yeah They have when you go to those ai ones or obviously they they have a higher price tag, but I think they're great I've had mine for a while. We put them up last year And uh, I think that makes a difference when you're talking about something and actually Let's see recordings What's the one per week One days one days seven days You know the long term Is what I want to talk about with any of these systems is because I'm not just using them I've been using them over time So these been installed for like these cameras are been installed for a year And I've got things set up like time lapses. I've got all these different functions, uh on them This is why I like these synologies being able to do All the different things that I do with them In the ai detections man, they're needed. Um It the problem is squirrels literally they um They set things off quite a bit. They're always setting things off So you have the problem of is it the squirrels or is it a person in my driveway? That's where these ai detections They just save you the well as we talked about in that sysco thing alert fatigue that you can get because Suddenly alerts are useless if every time a cat walks by every time a squirrel walks by or every time a bird lands on my truck It says hey look, I've alerted you for motion Um, but when you say I only want to be notified when a car pulls in my driveway or when a person walks up the driveway big difference Now you can see many of my friends we hang out on my back porch from time to time These are this is time lapsing that uh that these synologies do it's super cool the way the time lapses work So what's this one from seven seventeen? And it's got me out there too I wonder if my head Had a fire pit or something going maybe not These are all like a week apart Oh, there we go. This is when I set up the fire pit I thought maybe I don't know anyways I'm goofing off clicking on these things, but nonetheless the uh the ai detection works really well And let's actually go down to the Is it the monitor center? No Nope, we just want to pull up the recordings. I guess there we go search camera We're only going to do driveway And we're going to choose well, let's start here. Here's all the motion detection for driveway Oh joy. Look at all that motion detection That's not helpful to anyone to find something or what's going on But what is helpful is going over here And we go to event type and we choose You know advanced event Actually, we get rid of yeah, that should be it. If I just do that. Oh now we got a much narrower event Let's edit that I don't want the manual. We only want advanced. There we go so If we look at only advanced events, you're going to find probably when someone was in the driveway or someone walked outside Or a car is parked over here Or my wife walking around outside Instead of getting a bunch of motion events. So this is much more Uh helpful. Uh vehicle left the driveway Hey, look, it's tom riding his bicycle back up the driveway So yes, tom has a funny bicycle. So those are why that makes it so much better Um to do Yes, the shadow of the trees will set off the motion detection Exactly. That's one of the problems you run into. That's why these advanced motion tools are so important and having these type of cameras that can do that Uh are important combine that with The fact that you can do these deep video analytics and do Person or vehicle and driveway who's on my porch. Um, it'll collect a a list of people who are on the porch. Um And and do facial recognition and things like that that's done on the dva series of this analogy Now you got a pretty cool use case for all that. It's like I said, it's a really slick system But that's most what I had to talk about for today Uh, I'll do because I have a few more minutes. Um rapid fire questions as I always do so people can get me off topic What else you want to ask about? Um, I covered the things I plan to cover when I got here You want one of those recumbent bikes? I love my recumbent bike. I've had it for a long time Yeah See I got a picture of it somewhere That's how I listen to all my books is I go ride around on my recumbent bike There we go I ride around on my recumbent bike listening to books and uh, it keeps me exercised and whatnot. So Do any of the unified cameras uh support license plate detection in the night not really I don't think any of them do a good job of license plate detection at all that that i'm aware of Um anyone can correct me if i'm wrong on that but to my knowledge, it's not a good unified feature It is a feature of synology. You get a good camera. You can do license plate detection. Uh, that is a synology thing Oh, yeah, why not? Don't forget to smash the like button. That's probably important too somewhere Help those youtube algorithms That is always helpful. I don't know how that works because uh, so many people are watching this on linkedin I don't know how many people are watching me on linkedin. I've seen a few people jump in early I'm building my linkedin. So I don't know how many people are on there 41 likes 108 people. So yes Absolutely go ahead and uh, jump up on that Do you know any ip cameras with the highest zoom live in the hillside with a view and want to zoom in fire emergency vehicles I don't know. I'm not spending a lot of time researching at there are there are some high zoom cameras out there The price jumps up a lot That much I can tell you but i've not really spent a lot of time reviewing any high zoom cameras Do you need cc and a cc and p as a must have to get jobs network engineer? It kind of depends a lot of the Market and i'm not the expert on this because that's uh, I mean my here's the thing Technically I can just say no because I don't require it for my network engineers But a lot of companies you have if you look at the job market a lot of them are requiring some type of that certification so Possibly that you'll need a certification similar to that in order to get your foot in the door because it's just a Blanket requirement they have I don't have a question. I really like to thank you for the amount of knowledge to share with us Hey, that is great. I am so glad I can help Best regards from Cairo, Egypt. That's awesome. Uh Quite a ways away Egypt there Unified cameras you have or record on the unify or analogy now unify cameras There's a hacky way to do it, but Generally speaking unify cameras go to the unify system. That's it. There there's different ways. They're not standard compliant They unify nvr only works with the unify cameras and unify cameras are only designed to work with the unify nvr And that's it's a closed ecosystem So you can't mix the cameras and match them Could you possibly but it wouldn't be wonderful make a unify camera work on Synology? You could possibly get it to work I think I've seen people talking about it, but it's more of a why would you? um If you want to go with the Synology something maybe there's some use case for it But I can't really like if you just wanted to not bother switching cameras But really wanted an nvr with the settings you were looking for um But it's going to make them harder to manage. It's it's not Really what it's designed for generally you don't match the unify cameras with a Synology You're going to want to match them with the unify nvr. So Um, were there any questions too? And if anyone got a chance to Watch that we did the how I would hack you video. That was a lot of fun. I did that with Jason and matt Um, that's that's one of those things like we left a lot of tools and a lot of links for reading for people So you can you know break down how to do it? I've heard people say it works. I've heard a lot of people say it's buggy So if you use the rtsp cam for the unify cams yeah, uh, but I've heard a lot of people tell me it doesn't work consistently or great And that people reached out to me and want me to help with it. I'm like Uh Yeah Love that make new series. Yeah. Um, I want to do some more videos with uh, Jason and matt So we'll we'll probably meet up. Uh, we'll depending on how our schedules and timings Line up, but yeah, we definitely want to make some more videos to bring more awareness and education One thing that's really important to me Is that All of you are getting a real world view of how the attacks happen and all that because there's the hype There's the sexiness of you know breaking in or hacking and there's a lot of that and don't get me wrong That's a lot of fun using hack the box and all these other different sites that allow you to do some of the testing and understand Things is awesome And it's really challenging and rewarding to use a really advanced technique to break into something But then you find out a company as large as Cisco was hacked by someone hammering on the nfa So we want to make sure that the low hanging things are secured now as the ecosystem of technology grows Yes, those things are going to become harder and harder We're going to be a more robust system which will lend it to people having to use those Uh more advanced techniques and the tax and we're starting to see that now That's why supply chain attacks are getting more popular You know threat actors are always going to go over the as anyone does What's the easiest way to achieve the goal? That's that's just the way it works Whether you're a threat actor or if it's your job you go What is the easiest way to achieve the goal? The right actor's goal is very frequently either espionage if they're state sponsored actor Or they are looking for money if they're just the standard variety criminal actor What's the easiest way for them to achieve that goal? Well people with rdp open Definitely for a long time and still accounts for many of the Flaws out there unpatched systems. That still accounts for many of the flaws out there Not having to f a getting people to do fishing links. These are all those easy things That's why we keep seeing those and we just want to keep talking about them until people have those all secured Love my unified cameras with DM pro and technology from rope backup cool Second motion make a series out it. All right I have a demo Cecilia tomorrow from your pitch shit series on your other channel. That is awesome. He just has such a really cool Product it's it's such a weird blindside in the market And so yeah, me and him we're good. Maybe he me and him will do something together. John's great Who does you know, he's not just has a cool product like he's pretty cool guy. So I think that matters because sometimes products Can be difficult to use because maybe the ceo or the management people are not wonderful people Or maybe their marketing people are just awful and say say lots of things that are just not true And they can hamper a good product because we don't like their marketing team for good reasons Yes, sysco got hacked for sure uh you know I thought about doing a video on this you don't have substantial gains. It's not like night and day Uh going to the jumbo frames. Also, there's a weird myth out there that the only way you can get 10 gig performance I mean, you're gonna get a little bit faster with jumbo frames, but most of the time You're gonna get a headache with jumbo frames because you're gonna find out all the little nuances And the problem is if I showed you how to do jumbo frames with a unify switch You would go cool. What about the other switch? I have what about the other one over here What about when I go through two switches? What about when I add a vlan or something like that? It causes this bug. There's just more bugginess in it Um from different vendors like oh, yeah, you can't send the mt to 9 000 You get a set to 9 000 plus a certain amount of padded overhead because there's a Uh part of their switch. I can't which switch we had to do that in it was a weird bug where it was just dropped part of Part of it. I don't know why So it's I think it's overhyped It's one of those things like Do you really need the performance? Is that your performance limitation? By the way too if you have a 10 gig connection Are you connecting to a flash array? Well, no, you're not Well, then why bother with it because it's not going to help you any If you're if you're not connecting it to a bunch of Really fast drives that can saturate the connection then the mtu isn't your bottleneck Internal threats are dangerous and recent. They're not recently popular always been popular Yes Cisco got all their handbooks and any connects stolen. Yeah This is a good point right here if you do jumbo frames Do it on an isolated network like you build your storage network Homogenous with exactly the same switches so you don't run into any weird issues and your storage network That's fine set that up with jumbo frames. That's usually where people want to set it up The the caveats and pitfalls are oops. I forgot to set something in the stack to jumbo frames And now some of the frames are missing. So yes So it's just for storage 9032 for the vlan tag. Yes Yes, jason jason nailed it. Those are those are the numbers. I could not remember on the fly He is completely right about that Because if you don't have the extra frame for the vlan tag, it throws that out So just things to consider but it's not like it'll double your performance with this one simple trick so It's faster, but that yeah Usually there's other other things in interoperability. By the way, don't route your storage network I've done enough consulting to know that that warning has not been heated by all so Why are why are you trying to route your storage network sir? That's where people run into bigger problems. I should say But nonetheless Uh barring any more questions we have for tom. I'll wind it down here. I gotta go Uh do a couple things. Um Probably no more videos today because I think I'm burned out I got I got enough done today. I have a few like business things I got to work on So he's always pushing things forward moving things forward talking to the staff at the office and all that So thanks everyone for joining. Um, oh and I'll give us, you know, shout out too because I want to see that number go up We'll throw that out there. Where's his beard banter Charity shave that beard We'll throw this up real quick on the screen. Give him another shout out for this. We we uh mention it in there so it's uh Moving right along. This is the shave the beard charity So he needs to update things because this is from july 22nd I don't know if he's updating it once a month, but a lot of people are participating in it I got a link right here. It's also in the highway with hacky video. Uh, this is just Really cool that uh, Simon at least doing a raising uh money for some good charities And it will have some uh bearded fellows, which does include jason slagle adam evans matt lee There's there's a lot of beards in here. There's a lot of oh, josh from finn is in there. Let me zoom this in There's a lot of bearded individuals here There we go. These guys are going to shave their beard if the donations, uh reach it. So yes Uh hdmi over ip sounds like nightmare fool. I'm sure there's all kinds of problems with that Do you put ssl search on your firewall even if they're not publicly accessible? Not usually. Um Not all the time Go on vacation get rest. What vacation? I love what I do for a living. So that's my problem This is what this is what I do. That's why I don't go I I take that back. I do Go on uh motorcycle trips. So Uh, I guess I'll call those vacations. So my little Uh few day trips rather like two or three days long wandering around on a motorcycle. So I Was doing that what? Uh How do I probably share this? I've got another one. I'm gonna be doing Um, but yes, I I do you you'll find me wandering around the woods somewhere on my motorcycle. Uh, that's definitely something That's that's my away time from the keyboard We can get a ways are kind of my vacations. Yes, so Definitely something like that All right. Well, thanks everyone for joining awesome having all of you here Uh, check out those videos. We just did they're just a lot of fun with a lot of links and everything to some insight on How we would hack you all that stuff. I just thought that was really uh, a great time I'm positive. I predict many more videos coming from me jason and uh Matley and you know, donate to the beard charity check all that stuff out. That's pretty cool And uh, I'll make a better list next time of like some of the places I'll be so I got to solidify a few of them because I got some linux conferences ago too I'll be at it nation connect. I've said that a bunch of time on my business extra kelly's channel and Yeah, the you know, there's I want to probably put a public calendar because I I like meeting people in person By the way that way to tell people hey, I'll be here if you want to come hang out bs or whatever Uh due to some scheduling arrangements and a lot of people messaged me on this because I was originally going to be at black hat Uh, those schedules didn't line up and didn't work out properly Uh flights got changed flights got cancelled and I said, you know, I'm just not going to do it this year So that'll be maybe next year's event. I'll be there But uh, nonetheless hit me up on the twitters I'm easy enough to find hit me up in my forums if you don't like the twitters and uh other social media platforms You can find me linkedin because I posted this live on linkedin another place. You can connect with me So all right awesome everyone take care and I'm out of here You forgot the lts logo on the motorcycle. No, I ride the motorcycle to forget about work So we will uh point out there is no It just says yamaha I'll leave you with that. I don't need to be reminded of where I work Thanks, or I think my accountant said this is probably not a business expense. So I won't even go there I don't want to tempt fate later
