Hello friends, ok I'm going to be setting up an NVR. Will be using a Dahua NVR5216 non POE and getting a managed POE switch. The switch I will be purchasing supports Vlan and is a 16 port switch with 8 of the ports being POE. My main concern is separating the IP cam traffic from my main network in fear of the cam traffic slowing down my network. I've also heard a lot of suggestions about security concerns in this forum. Ok so here are my thoughts/plans:
1: Connect all my 8 cameras to ports 1-8 on the switch.
2: Connect my NVR to port 9 of the switch
3: Connect my router to port 16 of the switch
4: setup Vlan to where ports 1-9 can communicate with each other however only port 9 will communicate with port 16 (which is my router/internet)
This way the cameras will not have direct internet/router access however the NVR will.
Is this the correct way to do it? Any suggestions or corrections are welcome. Thank you!!
