I've backed this project soon as I became aware of it so looking forward getting the updated version. I have the version 3 from the previous Kickstarter project.
What is the likelyhood that corporations are able to identify the device and disable the USBs because of it? What does it show up as, a mouse/keyobard? Dont they usually disable this?
idk why its called a kvm, a kvm switches between different devices. This is IPMI (or iLO or DRAC as other manufactures call it.) Remove out of bands management.
handy video - the thing I cannot see described is how to transfer files from the remote server to my connected laptop ?? I'm trying to ditch anydesk and PIKVM looks good solution ... if I can understand how to pull files off the linux box it would be connected to ??
really great video. just some constructive feedback... the new transitions between chapters are a bit distracting and they break the flow of you talking. If you want somewhere to denote a new section in video form (more than just the timeline), just add some text overlay on the video while you continue on so the audio and video doesn't break up as you switch sections. Just my $0.02. Thanks for the video!
Have you seen the Rock 5b? It has HDMI input built in so running the tinypilot software on this board may be worth it? I may get one just to test if I can get it working.
i like it -- I would wait until passrough is working. I'm redoing my unraid server and the plan is to have the extra video card that will be used for transcoding and it will be the video card that unraid GUI will be on. So i would like to have a monitor near the server that i can see also
Hello All!! I have a question about the V4 Plus I want to access (DVR) and playback CCTV video remotely. My question is, will this play back smoothly? Second question, with the KVM setup, can I still connect the local Monitor/Kboard & mouse?
This is looking really good. I just wish they'd use a device that's able to be purchased, as RPi4 and CM4 units are as rare as rocking horse poo encrusted hens' teeth.
can the PiKVM v4 Mini emulate say something like a USB microphone as well as keyboard/mouse ? I'd to be able to use Teams or some other meeting app thru the PiKVM
FYI: TeamViewer has had file transfer for most Enviromental and every feature the PIKVM it does and support almost all OS’s, But there are time when a product this is nice to have and I am glad to see it. One side note, VNC is free and has for been 20 years and work on almost anything you just have to know how to forward the ports through the router to the Internet, to get access to it off site, which can be challenging in some environments.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket I totally agree in the context of this video they were using for VNC as a selling point, and I knew the anybody that had the intelligence to make this work on the Internet should understand the security issues involved with doing that. I am a total fan of TeamViewer paid version, because so far it is the only remote company that will supply PCI and HIPAA compliance documentation required for a lot of remote support people. But once the companies use it internally for remote support because it is free and so easy to use on an internal network but it never goes out to the Internet. Secure encrypted connection is always the recommended when connecting outside even though this product is neat. It doesn’t mean a lot of the security requirements yet. Well, if you’re using Hamachi VPN Encrypted software for any of the three networks configuration and supported for remote network VNC is a great product for that environment for support And a small remote VPN office network just cost $40.00 a year. But I personally would use TeamViewer just because of the security.
i am still struggeling with the fact, which one is the right V4 for me, can you please give more information, how i can offer iso-files to the host? As i know, only the V4 Plus does offer a free internal USB-Port for a flash drive?
When I connect to windows laptop I can access the mouse and keyboard. But when host is Mac book pro and if I am using windows laptop it able to recognize keyboard and mouse
I'm working for the PiKVM team and I can reassure you that v4 supports Full HD at 60Hz out of the box. BIOS doesn't always use full resolution, so PiKVM will use the signal as provided, but if you configure the computer to generate 1920x1080@60Hz, it with capture it.
Is it possible to take an online call on a work Chrome Book remote controlled via Raspbery which is at home, on my other laptop that I'm taking with me while traveling, while using camera and microphone of laptop thats with me?
hahahahahah. i know what you've got going on. smart. i'm setting the exact same situation up for somebody right now. we are trying to avoid using tailscale b/c it's hosted. you can pull it off with ssh tunnels and forwarding. now we are working on speed right now. we always test for a user on a diff continent. b/c that's the use cases. our mileage has varied. if you don't want to use tailscale, you'll need to run a cloud vps server and run two sets of tunnels. one from pi to server. another from 3rd party to server. after it's much stable, i'll be updating so that the 3rd person can vpn in, instead of tunnelling. but to answer your question: yes.
@@ve2mrxB people should be able to source all parts with alleviation of supply chain crisis - that is what i am aiming at not your 'stashing' it is an open source project and you can make a biz out of it but so can everybody else - parts is parts
I hope everything was received intact! I am happy to have assembled both units for you,
Happy PiKVM'ing!
I've backed this project soon as I became aware of it so looking forward getting the updated version. I have the version 3 from the previous Kickstarter project.
2mins 32s that’s all it took for me to go and support this project.
Nice! Did you receive anything yet or ETA ?
Please add links to your previous Pi-KVM videos in the description. Thanks.
Nice informative video! The CM4 board is a game changer! Is there a firewall section for stand along access?
What is the likelyhood that corporations are able to identify the device and disable the USBs because of it? What does it show up as, a mouse/keyobard? Dont they usually disable this?
Oh damn I think I'll wait for the POE. Good review
idk why its called a kvm, a kvm switches between different devices. This is IPMI (or iLO or DRAC as other manufactures call it.) Remove out of bands management.
i thought the same. it can't support multiple devices. not a kvm.
Basically your right. Also It's not an integrated solution and requires individual connection cables for "keyboard video mouse" control.
There are some cheap CM4 compatible boards, like Bigtreetech CB1. It would be interesting to try them with the PiKVM4.
handy video - the thing I cannot see described is how to transfer files from the remote server to my connected laptop ?? I'm trying to ditch anydesk and PIKVM looks good solution ... if I can understand how to pull files off the linux box it would be connected to ??
Can you post a video on how to hook this up to a HDMI switch box? and all the cables needed?
Sad i missed the kickstarter, hope we see a new one soon for the v4.

thanks for the input, i think i might do that, possibly blur background a bit during transtion.
@@NovaspiritTech yeah and keep the video and audio going so there is no break!
Here kinda late but this would’ve done wonders for the crowdstrike outage
Neat Device, hope they will include the RaPi into the package, so it's fully functional when it arrives.
Somehow whenever i try to access the admin panel now it shows me a red keyboard and i can't do anything but see the serial console on my pc (proxmox)
Have you seen the Rock 5b? It has HDMI input built in so running the tinypilot software on this board may be worth it? I may get one just to test if I can get it working.
Finally !
This is going to replace my Lantronix Spider ....
Can it be used for ProxMox boot or an additional server to a Proxmox cluster? If so any performance stats 🤔
NOOICE
I now want to buy this instead of build my own. 😅
(*i'm still going to build my own* 😏)
Sadly for you, v4 is currently Pre-assembled :-p

Still waiting for a version with POE.

CM4 included, you will get it with PiKVM
7:12 camera glitching
yea i still don't know how to resolve that, it's from davinci resolve when rendering fusion effects
Can you access 2 or more servers with one Pi-KVM, or is it a one-to-one setup?
Would a microphone work with teams or Skype using this?
can the PiKVM v4 Mini emulate say something like a USB microphone as well as keyboard/mouse ? I'd to be able to use Teams or some other meeting app thru the PiKVM
I am looking for the same did you figure out anything for the microphone?
Did you get a response if a remote mic is possible with v4

Hey guys …. Will the PiKVM v4 work with a Ezcoo KVM Switch 4x1 as the v3?
Yes I will be making video on that soon
ONLY if you buy the v4 plus as the v4 mini doesn't have additional USB port to connect to the micro usb control port of ezcoo
hello, is the mini support iso image pass thru?
So in theory, if I hook up a type C dongle(to HDMI, and USB A), it can use to remote an android phone?
Yes I have done this before
Dumb question, but its one pi-kvm per server, right?
i am still struggeling with the fact, which one is the right V4 for me, can you please give more information, how i can offer iso-files to the host? As i know, only the V4 Plus does offer a free internal USB-Port for a flash drive?
Pretty slick!
When I connect to windows laptop I can access the mouse and keyboard.
But when host is Mac book pro and if I am using windows laptop it able to recognize keyboard and mouse
Hi! Is It compatibile with eczoo kvm siwtch as v3 version do? Thks
You indicated support for 1080p 60hz with the v4 but your target pc is only outputting 720p. What gives?
I'm working for the PiKVM team and I can reassure you that v4 supports Full HD at 60Hz out of the box. BIOS doesn't always use full resolution, so PiKVM will use the signal as provided, but if you configure the computer to generate 1920x1080@60Hz, it with capture it.
@@ve2mrxB my point was that @Novaspirit Tech could have shown that in this short video not that it DOES NOT support 1080p 60hz
@ve2mrxB Hi do you know hiw we can get a working remote mic for.v4 plus . Is it possible
can you power trip the system with this? in other words, if system is off, can you turn it on using the pikvm v4 unit
Can you remote access a computer from the Internet (outside of the LAN) using this device?
if you install something called tailscale. check it out
Can the 2nd HDMI Port passthrough 4K 60Hz?
Is it possible to take an online call on a work Chrome Book remote controlled via Raspbery which is at home, on my other laptop that I'm taking with me while traveling, while using camera and microphone of laptop thats with me?
Did you figure out anything for this yet? I am looking for the same!
Can you copy and paste?
yes there is a "text" icon on top tool bar where you can use for copy and paste
@@NovaspiritTech Ah gotcha, no Ctrl+C CTRL+V huh
Can this do 2560x1440 at lower refresh rate?
How much RAM does it use on Pi?
How do you purchase?
And I missed the kickstarter 😑😑😔
Does it support poe?
Does this allow for someone in the Philippines to remote access my PC and use it ?
hahahahahah. i know what you've got going on. smart.
i'm setting the exact same situation up for somebody right now. we are trying to avoid using tailscale b/c it's hosted. you can pull it off with ssh tunnels and forwarding.
now we are working on speed right now. we always test for a user on a diff continent. b/c that's the use cases. our mileage has varied.
if you don't want to use tailscale, you'll need to run a cloud vps server and run two sets of tunnels. one from pi to server. another from 3rd party to server.
after it's much stable, i'll be updating so that the 3rd person can vpn in, instead of tunnelling.
but to answer your question: yes.
@@softwareshinobi you got discord ?
Do you know if a remote mic setup is possible with this...
@ no I don’t think so
Is it possible to play games using this? I dont care about the delay.
@Novaspirit Tech For some reason when i switch to WebRTC it just gives me a black screen
Can we connect to government laptop
Good video, but I am not that impressed /w v4. BliKVM has had CM4 support for a long time now also a hell of a lot cheaper. Software is the same.
Thanks but I still dont see it available anywhere for a purchase
i want one, so cool😁
Putting $1000 overpriced raspberry pi KVM inside my $750 server is intriguing indeed
meh - people should make their own
One advantage, at least for now, is that the Raspberry Pi is included. As of January 2023, Raspberry Pi is in short supply.
The team started stashing enough CM4s a year ago just for this KS...
@@ve2mrxB people should be able to source all parts with alleviation of supply chain crisis - that is what i am aiming at not your 'stashing' it is an open source project and you can make a biz out of it but so can everybody else - parts is parts
So far, all this is pointless, since there is a large shortage of Raspberry Pi and prices are very high.
