Hi guys - I bought some old Axis cameras (don't have model handy, but I believe part of the M30 series) and when I checked the Axis website, I discovered the hardware is discontinued and support expires pretty soon too. So I won't be getting any security updates for the firmware soon. I was wondering if it will still be safe to use these with Blue Iris once the firmware will no longer get patches, etc.? If so, how long can I keep using them without security concerns about vulnerabilities, etc.?
Right now I plan on installing them on their own subnet on my LAN, and I will check the firewall to make sure nothing else can access them except for my Blue Iris machine on the same subnet (obviously), but is that all I need to do to keep using them? Would be a shame to get rid of them so soon when they seem to work just fine right now. I was hoping to get several years of service out of them.
Thanks for any advice you can share on this! I'm still pretty new at this, and definitely not experienced with EOL with Axis products.
