    Internet Isolation - How important is it really?

    I have a small Blue iris setup. seven cams, 4 Amcrest and 2 Dahua and some $39 chinese camera that I can't remember the name of. I've taken the advice that most on her offer about keeping them isolated from the interent. All run off of an unmanaged POE switch that is connected to the BI rig...

    trouble initializing new Empire Tech EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - IP segment, etc.

    Turned out it's because I have an unlicensed copy of Microsoft Server 2022. I extended the "trial period" and it resolve the problem for now.

    It worked. Now I just gotta figure out why my BI rig keeps shutting down

    trouble initializing new Empire Tech EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 - IP segment, etc.

    Bullet might be easier to mount actually. The links in your post above aren't working - is this the right place? EmpireTech

    Thanks Andy. I have a couple of questions - I want hang a camera that would be capable of an image that could identify a car thief at a distance of about 25' if possible, mounted at approximately 7-8' high. Would also love to have person detection/face recognition etc. if it's practical...
