    Greater Long Island Dental Meeting 2022 Highlights

    The GLIDM was met with a lot of success . The show was held between April 12th and April 13Th at the Hilton Hotel in Melville. There were a lot of dental practices looking to partner up with vendors and these doctors are smart! They fished out the shady companies from the Successful Companies. here are what some of the Doctors had to say

    ” I have met with two IT companies on Long Island to handle our technology, The first company was NAKA Technologies and the other company was VecTech Solutions. I have to say that the representatives at NAKA were unprofessional, appeared to be intoxicated from the open bar , and making lude comments. Darren from VecTech Solutions presented himself in a professional manner and we were extremely impressed. After an hour conversation we Laughed at NAKA and signed a 2 year Contract with VecTech. We couldn’t be more thrilled”

    Dr. Gambino

    Conor Lyons NAKA TECH

    “NAKA Tech came at us like breeding RAM wanting to rut. Darren from VecTech came to our rescue and just for that we signed a 1 year contract with their service offerings”

    “At first we thought we were at a comedy show. The first act from Mitch Cohen from DRP Solutions, We found his humor to be a bit dry. The 2nd act was NAKA Tech. We thought their act was hilarious. Then we met with VecTech Solutions. Darren informed us that they were not a comedy act but in fact a “IT Solution Provider”. We were blown away as we thought they were a satire show. VecTech Solutions gave us the assurance we needed to hire them as our solutions provider. If you are ever in town and want to laugh. We suggest a meeting with DRP solutions and NAKA Tech

    Not a good place to work
    Production Planner / Master Scheduler (Former Employee) – Hauppauge, NY


    Company has gone downhill. At one time was a growing company and employees were motivated to do their best. At one time, employees were rewarded with annual raises and Christmas bonuses. At one time, we were treated as valuable members of a team.

    Several years ago, all of that stopped and motivation is non-existent.

    Not a good workplace for the worker bee
    Staff Accountant (Current Employee) – Hauppauge, NY


    The management only cares about lining their own pockets and hasn’t handed out a raise to any of its workers in over 5 years. Do not work for this company if you value yourself as a hard worker and dedicated individual.

    There is no Future

    Are you serious just take a look at this guy Conor Lyons Director of IT Solutions. He looks like he is giving park and ride Gumless Bj’s

    Anil Jagtiani is a joke and and a laugh factory at that

    Wait there is more here is Open Legs Erica Colorio

    Last but not least is Tinder Maria Lane. Yes this photo was found on Tinder

    I would think that that this company that called themselves NAKA will be gobbled up (no Pun Intended) or out of business by end of 2022. If you decide to take your business to NAKA then we are NY Journals say you are stupid and need professional help

  • Vectech Solutions to Launch HaaS (Hardware As a Service)

    Vectech Solutions to Launch HaaS (Hardware As a Service)

    Vechtech Solutions, a Long Island based IT Solutions company has just launched their HaaS program.

    What is Hardware–as–a–Service?

    Hardware–as–a–Service, which clearly has roots in Software-as–a–Service, is a business model where companies sell packages that include hardware, software, maintenance and, sometimes, installation, for a monthly fee. Under HaaS, customers pay for services, not Things; consequently, HaaS contracts often include a service-level agreement (SLA).

    The advantages of HaaS

    HaaS transforms an up-front capital expenditure into an ongoing operating expense, which also allows for more accurate cost/value comparisons: e.g. “Is this worth $X/month to me?” Operating expenses become cheaper through shared use, especially for Things we don’t always use: e.g. bike/car sharing.

    There is less worry about maintenance because of bundled-in servicing, which means any errors, bugs and other misbehaving gremlins become the headache of the hardware provider. Included servicing also caps the total cost of ownership: You know exactly how much it will cost for as long as you use it.

    With HaaS, problems are fixed faster: Sometimes the hardware provider is not paid if the Thing is not operating (e.g. Hitachi’s trains), which incentivizes them to repair equipment quickly, even proactively (i.e. preventative maintenance). And there is less need to worry about obsolescence. You pay for the service, not the hardware; newer, cheaper hardware often enables the provider to offer a better service to you, which encourages them to upgrade.

    HaaS changes the relationship between the vendor and customer.

    HaaS also has advantages for IoT companies, just as software vendors benefited from SaaS. HaaS is easier to sell because of the lowered up-front cost. HaaS contracts generate predictable monthly revenue. HaaS plans create longer customer relationships, which can drive further sales. Bundling hardware, software, maintenance and installation improves margins: Pricing becomes a function of the value provided, not of the underlying (and diminishing) hardware costs. In other words, HaaS can be a shield against the endless march of hardware commoditization.

  • Ubiquiti debuts dual camera UniFi G4 Doorbell

    Ubiquiti debuts dual camera UniFi G4 Doorbell

    Ubiquiti debuts dual camera UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro with customizable display, fingerprint sensor, more

    SMART HOME NEWS UBIQUITI

    Just when we thought that the CES 2022 news had come to a close, Ubiquiti is throwing in a final submission that might just be one of the best releases yet of the Las Vegas showcase. Arriving as a new flagship entry into Ubiquiti’s UniFi Protect ecosystem, the new G4 Video Doorbell Pro packs a dual camera setup, customizable display, fingerprint sensor, and more.

    UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell Pro

    Now over a year and a half since Ubiquiti introduced its very first video doorbell, the company is now starting off 2022 by choosing a new entry into the product category. Serving as a higher-end option that joins the lineup alongside the original, the new UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell Pro delivers a robust feature set to match its elevated price and form-factor.

    The most novel aspect of the new UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell Pro is its dual camera design. The main 5MP sensor is able to record in 1080p at 30FPS, while a secondary 8MP camera aimed at the ground in order to specifically monitor package drop-offs. It’s an approach that we’ve only seen a handful of times in the past, and quite refreshing for Ubiquiti to be one of the first players in the space.

    UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro Ubiquiti video doorbell

    Other ways that it stands out from not only the original Ubiquiti video doorbell, but also other models on the market is its integrated porch light that pairs with a motion detection sensor to automatically illuminate.

    Upgrading from the lower-end video doorbell, Ubiquiti’s latest is also stepping up the built-in screen with even more customization options. Now you can showcase messages and color images to anyone who visits the front door.

    Otherwise, Ubiquiti isn’t breaking the mold on what you’d expect from other smart video doorbells. There’s an IPX4 water-resistant design that should allow it to stand up to the elements, as well as support for both digital and mechanical chimes. Other notable features include dual-band Wi-Fi, two-way talk with echo cancellation, and Bluetooth for quick setups. As for power, you can rely on your existing setup’s wiring or use a USB-C cable. That second option lets you use PoE to connect right into the rest of your gear, too.

    YouTube Poster

    And lastly, the UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell Pro arrives with a feature that likely won’t be complete until sometime at a much later date. The launch video notes that the video doorbell will be able to leverage its built-in fingerprint sensor or NFC support in order to unlock the front door, though it’s unlikely that this will support just any old smart lock on the market. We’ve been waiting on the company to launch its UniFi Smart Lock since first reporting on it back in June of 2021, which will likely be the companion accessory to the new porch pirate deterrent.

    As the latest accessory to launch from Ubiquiti, the new UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell Pro is still not widely avaialable. Hitting the brand’s Early Access store, it arrives with a $299 price tag.  At the time of writing, it has already sold out, but it seems to be going in and out of stock. On the listing page, you can sign up for notifications when more stock arrives. For comparison, the original Ubiquiti video doorbell sells for $199.

    NY Journals ’ Take

    Just after we saw the folks at Anker eufy debut its dual camera video doorbell, Ubiquiti is looking to make that look obsolete with a new flagship unveil of its own. Sure this one is wired instead of relying on a battery, but having all of the power of the UniFi Project ecosystem is going to make its G4 Doorbell Pro quite the notable solution.

    Aside from just how much there is to write home about the actual feature set there is, I am more interested in what to expect from the smart lock integration. Ubiquiti has been dancing around the smart home space for quite a while now without being all too serious, and this UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro release looks like the company may finally be ready to commit. But I guess we’ll have to wait and see for what the rest of 2022 has in store.
