Pretty Fly for a Spy Pi
I more than doubled the performance of my NVR with a new CM5 board. And it has PoE+ built in!

Exaviz sent me a prototype version of the Cruiser for testing, and DeskPi sent an early prototype of their mini rack case for the Cruiser. Neither company paid for this video or had any input in its production, but I still mark my videos as 'sponsored' if any equipment was provided by vendors in the making of the video.
