🔔 Testing the New UniFi G6 Entry Spent some time testing the new UniFi G6 Entry, and overall, it's an impressive addition to the UniFi Access lineup. ✅ Native UniFi Protect + UniFi Access integration ✅ Sharp 5MP camera with excellent vertical field of view ✅ Two-way audio and doorbell functionality ✅ NFC, Mobile Unlock, Apple/Google Wallet, and Face ID support when paired with UniFi Access hardware ✅ Clean, professional design that's ideal for business deployments My biggest takeaway so far? The requirement for a wired PoE connection. The G6 Entry uses PoE+ over Ethernet and currently doesn't offer a Wi-Fi option. For new construction or commercial installations this isn't a big deal, but for many retrofits it means running Cat5e/Cat6 to the door location, which can significantly increase installation time and cost. That said, if you already have structured cabling in place, the experience is very polished and it's one of the most interesting products I've seen from Ubiquiti this year. Has anyone else deployed a G6 Entry yet? I'd be interested to hear how you're handling retrofit installations where Ethernet isn't already available. #UniFi #Ubiquiti #UniFiAccess #UniFiProtect #SmartBuilding #AccessControl #PhysicalSecurity #PoE #Networking #G6Entry

The first iPhone Fold might be harder to get than expected due to production delays in the supply chain. High-tech engineering often comes with early hurdles.

If your business uses a generic email like info@, sales@, or support@, there's a good chance you're paying for it incorrectly. The default approach most SMBs take is to set up a regular user mailbox, share the password between staff, and call it a day. That setup creates two real problems. 1) There's no audit trail of who sent what. When someone leaves, they still have the password. And shared passwords are one of the most common ways small businesses get compromised. 2) You're paying for a Microsoft 365 license on a mailbox that no human owns. Microsoft 365 has a built-in feature that solves both: Shared Mailboxes. A Shared Mailbox lets multiple staff access the same email address (info@, support@, etc.) using their own personal logins. Replies appear to come from the shared address. Every action is logged under the individual employee. And it does not require a separate license if the mailbox stays under 50 GB. How to set one up: 1. Sign in to admin.microsoft.com 2. Go to Teams & groups > Shared mailboxes 3. Click Add a shared mailbox 4. Enter a display name and email address 5. Click Add members and choose who gets access Members can read, send from, and manage the shared address from their own Outlook within an hour. When an employee leaves, you remove them from the mailbox in 30 seconds. There are no password changes, and no risk of an ex-employee still reading client emails. #microsoft365 #emailsecurity #IToperations

Another OWL360IT project completed. This install included a full UniFi network deployment with WiFi 7 throughout the building, Rogers fibre, 10GbE connections, a StarTech rack, and Eaton UPS battery backup for fast, reliable, business-grade performance. We also deployed a UniFi door access control system, UniFi IP cameras including PTZ and turret cameras, plus Alarm.com intrusion monitoring to help secure the entire site. Clean rack, fast network, strong security, and everything built to scale. Always a good day when the install comes together like this. Need your business network, WiFi, cameras, access control, or alarm monitoring upgraded? OWL360IT can help. #OWL360IT #UniFi #Ubiquiti #WiFi7 #NetworkInstall #BusinessIT #ManagedITServices #RogersFibre #10GbE #AccessControl #SecurityCameras #AlarmDotCom #IntrusionMonitoring #EatonUPS #StarTech #LondonOntarioIT
